Has anyone ever been to Catalina Island w/ kids??




jb


Me and my hubby are thinking of taking a vacation to Catalina Island and taking our 8 and 4 yr., would that be a good idea?? For those who have gone w/ kids.


Answer
Catalina Island is a great place to take children. I don't know why people post about how boring it is, must be a lack of imagination. I've been going to Catalina for 26 years. I've experienced it as a child, a teen, a girlfriend-fiance-wife and now as a mother. I met one of my dearest friends there- she has 9 children and just spent a week at the end of July and had the most wonderful time. It's all about the experience. You don't have to drive any where. It's safe for the kids to play at the beach while mom and dad relax in beach chairs and watch. Fun restaurants, great ice cream shops- a candy store that pulls taffy in a big glass window. Although it's not my favorite thing to do, kids love to rent the peddle boats and tour through the harbor. I spent over a month in Catalina last summer with my then 9 month old son. We loved going to get coffee and a doughnut in the morning and taking our walk. Then napping and getting ready for hours at the beach. Just bring a little pop up tent if you have kids who nap. We'd spend the whole day at the beach, we'd go out for lunch- it was great, it's very relaxing and slow paced for mom and dad. I'd highly recommend it to any family.

What was your worst restaurant experience?




answer man


tell me!


Answer
I love Buffalo Wild Wings, and have never had another bad experience there, but the first time we went was terrible.

We ordered the chicken nugget meal with "happy face fries" for my daughter right away, and the waitress brought her the chicken nugget app with no fries. We told her we didn't get our fries and she said we ordered the app. We told her that was a mistake, and she got huffy about it and said she could get some fries but they would take a while.

There were table tents advertising beer specials during football which my husband took advantage of.

When we received our check, not only did she charge us for the app + fries instead of the kids meal, but she charged full price for the beer. When we asked her about it, her reply was "What do you want me to do about it? Not in a helpful way, but in a very rude way.

This was the first time I ever went to a restaurant's site to complain. What horrible customer service. That waitress, I am happy to say, was never there on our many return visits. Thank Goodness, because we loved Buffalo Wild Wings for fight night !
