Too cold!

So it's really, really cold outside and the kids are getting fidgety...what to do now? I have been relying on a great site, local to vermont, which has the most comprehensive list of family friendly things to do that I have found. The website is www.findandgoseek.net. You really should check it out! Remember too that Montreal is a great place to check out. The Biodome is nice and warm, like visiting the rainforest 2 hours down the road :) You can stay over for very little money, like $50- which for me is a great bargain and the kids love it. Check out www.hotwire.com to see some great rates. I then go to www.priceline.com and try to get a room cheaper than those posted on Hotwire. If you've got a year pass to the Echo center you will benefit from a reduced rate at tons of other museums, etc., including the Biodome.

Speaking of reduced rates...interest rates are ridiculously low, making refinancing or purchasing a new home a great idea. According to money.cnn.com "The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has not been lower since Freddie Mac started the Primary Mortgage Market Survey in 1971."

Call if you would like the names of some trusted local lenders with great rates and service. -David
