So here is how you can help...
Honda is running a promotion. Project Drive-In allows people to vote everyday for the next 30 days, for their favorite Drive-In. They are giving away 5 digital projectors to the top 5 Drive-Ins. You can also pledge to support your local Drive-In by, you know, going there. And you can share on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or whatever.

Guest Post - Kendra Thornton - Keeping Healthy While Traveling
Travel Tips and Tricks for
Healthy Families
It takes some extra planning to keep your family
healthy when traveling. There are all kinds of distractions and temptations
that can make this a challenge. If you are sufficiently prepared, however,
there's no reason why you can't enjoy vacations that are not only fun but
healthy too.
* Tip 1: Make sure your family eats a nutritious
breakfast before visiting a theme park. We've all heard that breakfast is the
most important meal of the day, and there's a lot of truth to this. This way
kids and adults alike will not arrive at your destination hungry and ready to
gorge on junk foods. You will want to eat at the theme park at some point, but
it's best to arrive with a full stomach.
* Tip 2: If you're trip includes any
visits to the beach or other bodies of water, be sure to watch your kids at all
times. You should not leave them unsupervised for even short periods of time.
It's also a good idea to bring safety devices such as goggles and life
vests from home, as they may not always be available at your destination. On a
former trip to Florida I used Gogobot to sift through reviews about which Orlando hotels had
lifeguards and kid friendly pools. It was a great tool in helping me narrow
down my decision!
* Tip 3: Keep in mind that airplanes can be full of germs. This can be from the surfaces such as seats and bathroom door
handles, as well as other passengers. That's why you should be careful what you
consume, especially when it comes to water. It's safest to stick to bottled
water. You should also avoid hot drinks made with water such as coffee and tea,
as well as ice cubes.
* Tip 4: When driving, you should make regular
stops to give everyone a chance to walk around, stretch and get some exercise.
Make use of rest stops when you're on the highway. Stop at scenic parks where
you can take a break and the kids can run around a little. This will keep
everyone in a better mood and in better shape for the trip.
* Tip 5: Bring some healthy yet tasty snacks along when you travel. This can include trail mix, nuts, coconut flakes, dried and
fresh fruit and other nutritious and filling items. You can add some treats
such as chocolate to the mix to satisfy sugar cravings. There are many
possibilities for healthy snacks your kids will enjoy.
Naturally, you don't want to plan every moment
of your trip. It's fun to leave some room for spontaneity. However, you can
balance this with some sensible preparations that will ensure that your family
stays as healthy as possible whenever you travel.
