Saturday Roundup – May 3rd, 2008 – Son’s Birthday edition

Welcome to the Saturday Roundup of Credit Withdrawal posts and other interesting posts around the blogosphere. I’ve decided to resurrect the weekly roundups, it is quite a bit of work, but it also seemed to get pretty good readership, for a Saturday, so here goes.
Today is my younger son’s birthday, he’s turning 7 today and we’re spending the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge (his choice). We went there for Easter and had a great time. Think scaled-down Disney, in a BIG motel and you’ve got a decent picture of it.
Huge water slides and pools inside, arcades, and something called a Magic Quest that is SPECIFICALLY designed to tire children out right before bedtime. Sheer genius!

Blog Spotlight:
The Blog Spotlight is where I single out the best blog entry I’ve come across each week, along with a short description of why I liked it.
No Blog Spotlight this week, promise one for next week though.
Thanks for the link, and that place does sound like genius. Where were places like that back when my son had energy?
