THE HORSESHOE BAY RESORT OFFERS AMAZING SUMMER FAMILY DEALS

Alright, already..what the heck is going on in Texas? With another another cool family deal from a luxe resort just outside Austin, I think they may be going crazy from the heat down there. This one’s from Horseshoe Bay Resort, a very upscale but very very family-friendly resort, and runs from now through September 4th.

So yo, yo, here’s this dealie-o: 

The Family Fun Package not only give you a break on rooms at their Horseshoe Bay Resort Mariott (starting at $329/night) their Paseo villas($345/night) or The Waters condominiums, but the deal also include a $200 resort credit, 20% off golf and spa fees, 50% discount on the Kids Club, free breakfast every day, a Fun Pack for kids and complimentary soda wrist bands that will have the soda flowing free for them at all the resort food and bevvie locations (uh-oh, I predict a sugar high…maybe you just let them wear it from 1pm-4pm).

FAMILY FUN PACKAGE

And I know that most resorts say they’re ‘kid-friendly’, but  this one really is. Just take a look at their summer activity guide. Just looking at it makes me tired, so, it might just keep a child sufficiently occupied.

SUMMER ACTIVITY GUIDE

cheers! The kids are at the hula hoop relays, or the banana boat rides…or wherever, but not interrupting our Mai Tais! 

Did I mention that the Horseshoe Bay has it’s own airport? (“Hey ya’ll come check out the size of my carbon footprint!”)

BEANTOWN BRINGS IT FOR THE FOURTH

All that history, all those patriots, all those baked beans. How could you not want to celebrate the Fourth of July in Boston? (Baked beans…barbeques…following me?….anyway)

What better place to get all patriotic on the Fourth than the cradle of the revolution? And the promoters of Boston’s Fourth of July celebrations also promise that this year is going to be the most complex pyrotechnic display to date. Start practicing your ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhhs’ now.
