What to do....in Summer? Hedge Maze

www.berryfarm.com

Hedge Mazes- akin to something out of Harry Potter-

are not unlike corn mazes in amusement.  But the difference is how tall the hedges are.  Over 10 feet tall and you can't see through the rows at all.  It can be a freaky feeling when you get lost and go round and round, which happened to us.  Insert lots of laughter!

The Hedge Maze near Mount Vernon is awesome. We found that having races through the maze and timing how fast it took to get through it provided endless fun.  The pinnacle of the maze is a tower that over looks the maze and the farm, plus a fun slide to get you back to maze-running.

If you're headed to Deception Pass, the Hedge Maze is on the way there ~ so two fun outings in one day! Oh, and don't forget to buy a pie on the way out of the farm at the hedge maze.  The bumbleberry is fabulous!

Groupon will get you in for a steal.  Check it out here.

Groupon- Summer Activity Ideas

BerryBarn

Summer is here (except in Snohomish county where we have rain! Blech!)  But that doesn't mean you can't have some fun and relaxation.  Since it's rainy, curl up with a good book and enjoy hot chocolate from Starbucks – $5 for $10 Starbucks Card eGift - what a deal!

Or, try the Berry Barn in Mount Vernon.  That's what my family is going to do!  So excited to go there and pretend like we're in a Harry Potter movie (without all the scary parts).  Groupon has an amazing price right now - $5 for 2 people or $10 for five.  You can't beat the savings, but hurry the deal is limited.  Also, read the fine print for dates. Also, save 15% by using the code LOCAL15  on any of these groupon deals.

Come back often for summer ideas.  Oh, and don't forget to practice your piano at least 3 times a week during the summer.  Keep those fingers nimble.

Hurry Friends- Grab this Deal for the Weekend!

Today’s Groupon Deal of the Day for the Seattle area is 2 tickets to the Smith Tower Observation Deck for just $8 - these are regularly $15, so this is a savings of over 50%.  Children under 5 & under get in free.  You can also get 4 tickets for $16, so both offers work out of just $4 per ticket. Its available for a limited time only, so grab your tickets now if your interested.

This is a great opportunity to get a view of the city, and for much less then it will cost you to go up in the Space Needle. Here is Groupon's description “Groups journey up to the 35th-floor observation deck in a manually operated elevator to take in views of modern downtown, Mount Rainier, and the Cascade Mountain Range. The observation deck is open air, which lets visitors feel the breeze, smell the sea air, and possibly take revenge on the pigeon that ruined their sports coat years earlier.”
