Fall is in the air. Sweaters are making a return. Flip flops are getting tucked away. The kids are decked out with new sneakers and backpacks full of supplies. Take a moment before bidding farewell to summer to relive the most-read stories from August along with our Editor’s Pick – a story that inspired our editorial staff this month.
1. BoomShaka
This place is fun. New on the scene in August, BoomShaka has become wildly popular with parents looking to cure the summer doldrums. Kathryn Millhorn gives a great overview of the activities, venue and party options in this article. I have taken my kids and can safely say it’s a blast.
2. 8 Sunset Dinner Deals
The early bird catches the worm, and apparently the great prices for dinner, too. Alyssa Ramsfield seeks and finds eight great options for saving cash by dining early around Olympia in this article. And, from the large number of reads this story had in August, our readers are equally as thrifty (and hungry). Plus, there’s a map to show you just where to go.
