Something for Everybody....J.W. Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa

The J.W. Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is more than just a gorgeous property. It's also a hub of activity for the guests staying on the property.

I'm not joking when I say that the J.W. Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa actually has a page filled with activities for guests to enjoy over the weekend (Fri-Sun)....right from sunrise to sunset, literally! (Check out the March-April 'Experience' schedules)

While on my tour of the property, I was told families split up in the morning and engage themselves in an activity they each love....

The Hubby generally spends the day at the TPC San Antonio Golf Resort that houses two PGA Tour, 18 hole golf courses


while
'Wifey' laps up a luxurious massage session, body treatment and enjoys a specially prepared organic meal in the 26,000 sq foot world class spa, the Lantana Spa.


Kids between the ages of 4 to 12 generally make the most of their day at the Range Riders Club, a full service children's recreation program.

Bunny girl got to spend an exclusive one-on-one session, one morning, with Aaron, one of the sweetest "Kid At Heart" Range Rider Leaders.


In the three hours she was there, she decorated her own Cowgirl hat, personalized a water tube with stencil drawings, created a "WANTED" craft poster, played "Howdy Rowdy Rodeo"( a lively, 'hot'-'cold' "find the hidden object game" that Bunny girl has been playing everyday at home, ever since we returned!) and a set of board games.

When it was time to pick her up, I have to confess that she was disappointed she had to leave but chattered with bubbly excitement about all the fun things they did. She even named her souvenir Range Riders plush Armadillo, Aaron!

After the family re-unites later in the afternoon, a majority of the guests generally haunt the River Bluff Water Experience....


Six acres of heated pools, fountains, waterfalls, rivers- Oh yeah!

Both my water babies ((Uhm...lets make that three!)) thoroughly enjoyed soaking in the refreshing, 1200 feet long lazy river.


It was Bunny Boo's first "baby pool" experience so it was such a treat to watch him gurgle, water crawl and splatter the mini water fountains.

Now if you are more of the "indoors-y" kind of person, there's lots for you to do as well!....
You can choose to relax in the Texas Library reading a book or listen to Texan artists serenade you while the kids get balloon animals created by Balloon artists.


You can also shoot some pool or play chess and/or checkers on one of the high tech media boards, in one of the secluded nooks, in the Crooked Branch Lounge.

(We could also see Grandparents out on the lawn with their young ones, teaching them some classic lawn games.)

Other complimentary family centered activities include

• Interacting with animals from the San Antonio zoo.
• Decorating ducks and competing in the Lazy River Duck Race!
• Exploring the world's largest J.W. Marriott Property (Yes, this one!) on a Segway Personal Transporter Tour.
  
• Roasting s'mores outdoors on a campfire.
• "Flick 'n' Float" - Watching a family movie while floating in the activity pool.

and MORE!!


I'm not lying when I say that this Resort is the first that I know where everything is designed around your family.
You will not be disappointed because there really is an activity for every member in your family to enjoy!



Hop over and take a 360 Tour of the Great Onsite Activities and don't forget to check out the Packed Calendar of Events for this year.

* Stay tuned to read my last post on the luxury of enjoying top notch service at the J.W. Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa and yes the magic "F"....FOOD!!

I'm also thrilled to confirm that we DO have a surprise giveaway that will be announced at the end of the final post! *

CLOSED: Go Diego Go! : Diego Saves The World DVD (+ Giveaway)-3 winners

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Nickelodeon Home Entertainment brings Go Diego Go! : Diego Saves The World DVD into your home, this April 12, 2011.


The Buzz:

This 146 minute DVD features 6 animal rescue episodes that include....

Diego the Hero

Alicia’s boat gets stuck in the ice as she takes some sick and hurt penguins to the Snowy Rescue Center. Diego and Baby Jaguar set out to help Alicia, but they’ll need the help of their friends since the Rainforest is far away from the Snowy Coast.


Cotton-top Tamarin Cave Rescue

Diego has a surprise for the lonely cotton-top tamarin singing in a cave. Alicia and Baby Jaguar have been planting lots of trees for the Tamarins so they can move back to the forest. When the Bobos accidentally block the cave’s entrance, Diego sets out to find another way out of the cave so he can reunite all the tamarins.

Bengal Tiger Makes a Wish

Diego is in India helping animals after a big rainstorm when he meets Benji the Bengal Tiger. His mother had told him that if he ever got lost, she would wait for him at the Wishing Tree, but he doesn’t know how to get there! Diego sets out to the Wishing Tree and along the way helps many animal friends who have wishes.


Diego Saves Baby Humpback Whale

A baby humpback whale is beached on a rocky island and can't get back into the ocean! Diego sets off to save the humpback whale, running through a rainforest obstacle course and swimming with Tuga the Leatherback Sea Turtle past jellyfish and sharks. When Diego reaches the baby humpback whale, he leads the other humpback whales in making big waves to lift the beached humpback whale into the ocean and back to her mommy.


Jorge the Little Hawk Learns to Migrate

It’s getting really cold and Jorge the Hawk is ready to migrate to the Warm Forest. Diego must help build a bird place to help Jorge fly home. On this sky-high adventure, Diego and Jorge catch a ride on the warm windy wind, fly through the foggy fog, avoid a lightning storm, and finally make it all the way to the Warm Forest.


Egyptian Camel Adventure

Diego visits his friend Medina in Egypt to learn all about camels when they realize the river in Medina’s town is drying out. They must find a way to fill it up again for the camels and other desert animals to have enough water to drink. They learn of the legend of the golden cloud, which can bring water back to the river, and head out to find it.


E.B. Mommy's Report:

We love this DVD maybe because it has one fun "animal rescue" set in beautiful India and what better animal to pick than the endangered Royal Bengal Tiger!

Bunny girl adores animals and honestly I have a preference for Diego over his cousin Dora only because I personally enjoy the simple but rich "animal" learning experience the young viewer gets to enjoy, absorb and recollect. All 6 episodes were new for us and since Diego airs while Bunny girl is away at preschool, this was a treat.

Great buy for the price!


Buy it:

You can pre-order Go Diego Go! : Diego Saves The World DVD on Amazon at a reduced price of 12.99 US$. (Original Price: 16.99 US$)


Win it:

CLOSED: Accurate Measures with Eat Smart's Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale (+Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I love to experiment with new recipes and have my standard measures at easy reach at all times when in the kitchen but there are those occasional recipes that call for 375 grams of carrots and that's when the recipe gets scrapped and stuffed way into the back of my recipes drawer.

Well atleast that was the case till Eat Smart e-mailed asking if I was interested to try out their Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale.


Now with my handy aid by my side I've been able to rescue quite a few "neglected" recipes!


The Buzz:

The 8" x 6" x 1.5" Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale is incredibly lightweight (13 ounces) and compact.


It's accuracy varies +/- 0.05 ounces and provides a reading in your choice of a Metric Measure (lbs and ounces) or Imperial Measure (grams and kilograms).

Additional features include:

1. An easy two button operation
   
2. Tare Feature- i.e. Subtracts the weight of any plate or container (This is a great feature!@)
   
3. The ability to measure a maximum weight of 11 lbs or 5 kilograms.
   
4. A 3 minute auto turnoff that helps stretch the life of your AAA batteries (Requires 2 AAA batteries to function)
   

The Scale also comes with a free Calorie Factors Book, making it easy to achieve goals such as portion control and calorie counting.


E.B. Mommy's Report:

All in all this scale is the kitchen scale you'd want to go for especially considering the slashed price it's presently available at.


My only worry is if I drop the same (I have to admit that I sometimes turn into Clumsy Clara while rushing through a recipe when the kids are at home and I'm trying to set yet another "Beat The Recipe Clock" record!!) as it is more delicate than my other not as acuurate, bulky, non digital kitchen scale.

I haven't used the Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale for a long duration of time but I trust the Eat Smart brand based on the great experience we've had so far with their Digital Bathroom Scale, that is still going strong despite regular use over the past year.

So yes, I would definitely say..."Go For The Scale!"


Buy it:

You can buy Eat Smart's Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale for a reduced price of 25 US$ on Amazon. (Original price: 44.95 US$)


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win Eat Smart's Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale


Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

Visit Eat Smart Products and tell me one product you think you'd buy for your home.


2. Love on the Sponsor-

Value For Money Dining at SeaWorld, San Antonio....Rosita's Cafe.

The Buzz:

To tie in the Sesame Street theme at the "BAY OF PLAY" (Read more about this fun new attraction, HERE), Sea World, San Antonio has opened up a fun, casual dining "re-fuel" stop called Rosita's Cafe.



Rosita's Cafe offers an "ALL YOU CAN EAT" pizza & pasta buffet that I personally think gives you most out of the buck you spend while dining at the park.

The kids pizza counter serves up freshly baked cheese and pepperoni pizzas



while adults can pick slices off three freshly baked, signature thin crusted pizzas.



Our choices for the day were a barbecue meat pizza, a regular meat pizza and a veggie pizza.

The pasta counter serves up regular mac and cheese (did I hear the kiddos cheer?) and a traditional sunny sweet, tomato based sauce with penne pasta.



Don't forget to grab an extra plate to pile up some fresh, crunchy green salad



with your choice of dressings



and ofcourse your choice of a drink (with unlimited refills while in the Cafe) from the counter.

And guess what? That's not all....
You even get dessert!!



This includes the signature thin crusted dessert pizza, vanilla pudding, chocolate pudding,



and fruit.


E.B. Mommy's Report:

If you've been to SeaWorld, San Antonio before you will recognize Rosita's Cafe location as the old Mango Joe's Cafe.



The location is great as it's just about a 5 minute walk away from the Bay Of Play.


Food-

Bunny girl loves pizzas and pasta so I know this will be our "Dining Stop" from this point on.

Between the pastas and the pizzas, I have to admit that we piled on the slices!

I'm personally not a big "meat" lover but loved the tangy barbecue-y kick on the barbecue pizza (I preferred to "donate" the mini sausage ringlets to Hubby) and the crunch on the veggie pizza.



Even if you aren't a big pizza or pasta kind of person, the salad will win you over.



I noticed I wasn't the only one returning to the salad counter to load my plate with the greens!

I honestly would've crammed every inch in my tummy with the salad but knew I had to leave a little space for dessert and I'm glad I did because I love anything with a hint of cinnamon. The dessert pizza is a crispy, cinnamon-y slice drizzled with chocolate and vanilla pudding...yum!



Don't tell anybody but the two slices Hubby had on his dessert plate were actually for me. Okay fine....I admit it! I DID wallop three slices!!


Value for Money-

Price-wise I think this is a great deal for what you can get inside the park!




An E.B. Mommy Tip-

My only suggestion is that you hit the Cafe early, if you want to beat the rush.



This new "Dining Spot" is already a park favorite with both the old



and the young!
