Fun Places To Go



From Teresa Plowright, your Guide to Family Vacations
With May on the horizon, it's time to start planning for the Memorial Day long weekend, which has a late date this year: the holiday Monday is May 30th. May also means Mother's Day, and many resorts offer special packages for family getaways. Also below: floating water parks are a bit of a trend, and a new one's just opened at a Florida resort.

Memorial Day Weekend Getaways
The Memorial Day holiday in the U.S. is observed on the last Monday in May, and though its purpose -- to remember those who've died in war-- is a serious one, the long weekend is also the unofficial kick-off for summer-time. (Canada has a similar start-of-summer with Victoria Day weekend, a week earlier.) A number of cities have special Memorial Day events, including parades and wreath-laying. Also, resorts and hotels offer Memorial Day Weekend packages...

Mother's Day Getaway Ideas
May is also the month for Mother's Day, which is coming up soon, on Sunday May 8 2011. Many a Mom would appreciate a Mother's Day getaway, and many a destination is hoping to be the venue for some family bonding. Have a look at packages at family-friendly resorts, Mother's Day at Sesame Place, festivals in the Southeast U.S., and more.

Children's Festivals
May's special events include children's festivals in several cities, including Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Vancouver BC. Meanwhile Houston and Philadelphia have their children's bash in April. Families can find colorful performances, clowns, crafts, and general good times for kids.

Florida Resort - New Floating Water Park
Here's something new, on St. Pete Beach in Florida: a floating water park just off-shore. It's part of the fun offered at the TradeWinds Island Grand, a AAA four-diamond resort with kids' club and other family-friendly features. The Splash Island Water Park has slides, trampolines, climbing structures, rafts...

Classic French Dishes



From Rebecca Franklin, your Guide to French Food

Provencal Zucchini Tart Recipe
A must in every kitchen in the French countryside, this Provencal zucchini tart recipe is nutritious and easy to prepare. Classic herbes de Provence enliven sauteed zucchini to make a fresh flavor combination with sharp, salty Parmesan cheese. The result is a delicious courgette quiche.

Roasted Vegetable Ratatouille Recipe
This roasted vegetable ratatouille recipe takes a traditional garden stew and elevates it by caramelizing the vegetables. Tossed with a simple roasted garlic oil, this ratatouille is simple and quick; it can be done in less than one hour.

Seven-Hour Roast Leg of Lamb Recipe
Try this delicious, tender roast leg of lamb recipe the next time you want to spent a drizzly day inside cooking. Heartily seasoned with herbs, vegetables, and wine, this leg of lamb is roasted until it's falling-apart tender - for a total of seven hours! The wonderful aroma the lamb and vegetables create as they roast away makes this elegant, yet homey, dish as pleasant to cook as it is to serve.

However you serve it, this souffle is likely to be a delicious winner and instant classic in your household.
