What did you do this weekend?

As the weekend came closer, I realized all the plansI had heard during the week. Some went to tournaments. Some to visit friends and relatives. A few went to the State Fair. Some had parties to attend. I even spent the weekend with my whole family in Ruidoso. There were 14 of us, including my mother. We had a funfilled weekend and ate way too much.

This got me to thinking of other addresses and places to go. Below is a list of helpful websites you should explore and tell me what is useful.
I believe you will enjoy them.
