Eagle Creek Ranch, just outside of Leavenworth, offers picturesque sleigh rides that closely resembles something you’d expect to see on television or in the movies.

Another week of interesting posts about cities around the world with The Carnival of Cities.
My favorite contribution to the carnival this week was Amsterdam Attractions Under Attack. Apparently, some of the adult attractions of the gateway city are making the city less risque and more family friendly. If sex, drugs, and rock and roll [...]

The mixing of science and beer plays out monthly, in two different locations, with Science on Tap.
Based on the U.K.’s Cafe Scientifique, the casual gatherings,
And it really is about science and beer. Each meet up features a guest speaker and program on a scientific topic, along with lively, but casual, conversation. While you’ll [...]

With the rainy season upon us, Seattle-ites are staying indoors, and many of them are turning of the television, computer, and electronics that dominate so many lives. With more and more families trying to capitalize on at least one at home family night a week, games are becoming popular once again.

I’ve been absent from the Carnival of Cities for a few weeks, and was glad to get back into the swing of things with this week’s Carnival, hosted by Grace at Sandier Pastures. Grace writes about life in Dubai, and I always find her stories about life in the Emirates immensely entertaining.
