Geek Mommy's Weblife Contest

One of my twitter followers/followees is having a contest on her blog to win a trip to Sea World, and I would love to win. I have posted a comment on her blog, tweeted "I want to go to SeaWorld @GeekMommy I’ve got #mantamania because my kids (21, 17, 9) will have 3 different experiences. http://bit.ly/gmswc" and now posting this. It is that simple. Now why do I want to go? Well, here is my response:


I would love to be able to take my family to Sea World. It is one place I have always wanted to take them and have never been able to do so. Please consider me and my 3 children. My son graduates high school in the spring and then will head immediately off to Air Force basic training. I would love to have this as something we can do as a family before he goes. My oldest is 21 and will soon leave the nest as well. My 9 year old will get the biggest kick out of it. Best of all on your end, I can blog about it and have a perspective from 4 different age groups.

If you enter, good luck -- although I do hope I have better luck. ;-)

Update

OK, so I haven't been on in a while. Today is the start of a new day. I just picked up the keys to my new condo and will be moving this weekend. I will make it my goal to keep more updated on my blog.

Will write more later.

Take care,
