About Me & My Family

I am a SAHM (actively seeking work), married for almost 15 years to my DH - he has a CDL and is a certified Level-3 HEO. We have four children; two girls, ages 13 and 8; and two boys, ages 11 and 11 months. We also have two dogs, seven cats, and a hamster.
Our Family's Travel Personality
curious, disorganized, relaxed, simple, independent, spontaneous, easy_going
We Just Got Back From
Daytona Beach, FL
Our Favorite Vacation Spot
anywhere in FL
A Place We'd Love To Visit
South Beach/Miami; New Zealand; Italy
Favorite Vacation Memory
The first time my baby played in the ocean was in Daytona Beach, FL this past spring. He LOVED it and I got TONS of great photos to remember it!
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
When we moved here from Chicago, my husband was already down here so it was left to me to drive the 800 miles with three kids, a large dog, and five cats (four mine, one my MIL's). I discovered that German Shepherds absolutely will NOT do their business if they are not on their own turf; my girls fought so bad I missed not one but TWO turnoffs, landing us in NW Georgia; and to top it off, while trying to get out of Georgia we found ANOTHER large dog at a rest stop on the interstate! Now I had a minivan at the time but come on...... talk about overcrowding! LOL

For your review of: Chicago Wolves Hockey
Oh wise one, please enlighten me. I need answers and you have them.

Thanks for letting us know that the Wolves are in Rosemont. We can easily add cities into the Trekaroo system, but just need an expert user like you to let us know.

Great review btw.

Thanks Thank you 09/26/09
Thanks! If you don't mind, could you send me your real name and hometown at amy@pitstopsforkids.com? If you have any photos of the pumpkin patch, that would be great too (but not crucial). Thanks so much!

For your comment regarding:

Picking Pumpkins

You said:

"What a great idea! I live in NC now and would love to know what is in this area. In Illinois we always, ALWAYS, went to Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm in South Barrington. They are FABULOUS! http://www.pumpkinfarms.com/ is their website. There are other very good farms in the area, but Goebbert's is the best - my kids just LOVED going there and every year about this time would BEG to go. "

Hi Kat569,

I saw your review of Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm, and want to use your words in an article I'm writing for my website www.pitstopsforkids.com. The site is dedicated to finding real parent reviews on places to stop and play with kids, and we're doing a series on fall festivals. I'd like to use your review here and link back to Trekaroo. Please let me know if you're interested. I can quote you with a real name or simply a user name. Thanks!

For your review of: Noah's Ark Water Park
Thanks for your honest review of Noah's Ark.  The cost was keeping me away anyway, but with crowds and lines added to the mix . . . I think we'll look for other fun in the Dells.
