Summertime Family Fun: A Chance to Win a Funjet Vacation to Mexico

My family and I just enjoyed a fun-filled vacation at Walt Disney World Resorts last month. They had such a good time we didn’t even make it home before the kids were hounding me about where we are going next.

I want to ride on a plane.

I want to go to the beach.

Can we go tomorrow?

Ugh.

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE traveling with my kids but it can also be a logistical nightmare challenge and quite expensive. I was truly excited when the lovely ladies at TravelingMom.com asked me to be a panelist in their upcoming Funjet Twitter Party on Monday, April 18, 9-10 p.m. EST. Funjet Vacations is giving away some Funjet swag and a Grand Prize Funjet vacation to Mexico for a family of four, including airfare and four nights at Azul Beach Resort.

Ooh, I see a spot for me in my new bikini, ahem, right under one of those palm trees.

Yup. You read correctly. A Funjet vacation for four to Mexico. Hello. You can join in the fun and RSVP at TravelingMom to ENTER to WIN here. Coincidentally, one of the first vacations Husband and I went on was a Funjet trip to Mexico. We had a BLAST. Hmm, if I win do I have to take the kids? Just kidding. Sort of.

I’ve been traveling a lot running destination races and attending conferences. It’ll be nice to do a summertime getaway with the entire family. What are your plans for the summer? Margaritas anyone?

Harlem Globetrotters Giveaway

One of my FAVORITE childhood memories was my father taking me and my sister to see the Harlem Globetrotters. At the risk of showing my true age, that was when Curly and Meadowlark Lemon were wowing crowds everywhere. OK, fess up, I know I’m not the only one who remembers when the Globetrotters joined the Scooby-doo cartoon. My son loves it. Ahem.

Well, they’re still at it with a whole new crop of superstars. Known as the magicians of basketball, the Harlem Globetrotters are now celebrating their 85th year of an incredibly entertaining brand of basketball. They’ve played more than 25,000 games, entertaining everyone from Presidents to Popes.

As soon as Miles saw the commercial that they were coming to town he started bargaining for tickets. Yup, I’m getting a clean room out of the deal. Not only is my family going but I’ve got four tickets to give to one of you so your family can enjoy the fun, too.

Want to go? They’ll take the court at Philips Arena in Atlanta on March 12, 2011 at 1pm. As always I’m easy, here’s how to win:

Subscribe/Follow my blog; and/or Like my Run Wifey Run Facebook page. You need to do at least one and leave me a comment letting me know so I can count you in. If you do both you’ve got two entries.

Want another shot? Like the Harlem Globetrotters on Facebook and tell me in a comment.

More?

If you tweet, Facebook or blog about it and let me know in the comments they’ll each earn you one more entry.

Easy, right? The contest starts now and will end next Monday, February 28, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. EST. US residents only, please. The winner will be chosen via Random.org.

Good luck! I’m off to practice some of my own tricks …
