DC museums are always busy – so I’m sure that on Veterans day that will be extremely busy.

Q&A: Can 2 adults and 3 kids stay in a one room hotel in New York?

Question by AJ C: Can 2 adults and 3 kids stay in a one room hotel in New York?
Hi,
We live in Florida and we always can just get one hotel room (2 queen beds) for 5 persons when we vacation. We do online reservation and we just enter 2 adults+ 2 kids (instead of 3 kids) . When we get to the reserved hotel, there is no problem even though they see 5 of us. How strict is New York hotels? Can we reserve for just one room or we have to get two rooms? By the way, any recommended for a decent midtown Mahattan hotels? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Research room sizes before booking because most of NYC hotel rooms are very small. But if you find a big enough double bed, then it wouldb’t be a problem with your kids. I stayed at both Sheraton’s in Manhathan before and they are pretty good with family and location. They have indoor pool and rooms are pretty big, and its only few blocks from Time Square. It usually runs $ 180-$ 200 per night.

Q&A: Should New York observe Muslim holidays since they say 1 of every 8 kids in school are Muslim?

Question by RLP: Should New York observe Muslim holidays since they say 1 of every 8 kids in school are Muslim?
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/07/01/my-take-new-yorks-schools-should-observe-muslim-holidays/
A year ago this week, more than 80 faith-based, civil rights, community and labor organizations came together under the title Coalition for Muslim School Holidays. Our purpose was to encourage New York City to give permanent recognition to its Muslim community by adding two holidays observed by Muslims to the public school calendar: Eid ul-Fitr, which celebrates the end of Ramadan, the sacred month of fasting and Eid Ul-Adha, which celebrates the end of the Hajj, the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca.
“One in every eight school kids in the City of New York observes the Muslim faith,” New York City Comptroller John Liu said in a statement issued yesterday by the Coalition for Muslim School Holidays. “Yet these students are forced to choose between their education and their faith, and it’s a situation that needs to be rectified.”

Q&A: I am headed to San Francisco for the end of July and was wondering what fun tings are there for kids?

Question by tomlawbcs: I am headed to San Francisco for the end of July and was wondering what fun tings are there for kids?
My daughter is 8 years old. So, the SF Zoo? Monterey Bay Aquarium? Ice skating? We live in the Mexico so don’t hesitate to give me everything and anything such as for example, ice skating as we have none of that where we live.
What else for an 8 year old?
Any lakes outside of SF where we could go by the lake? We’re flexible.

Answer by slickric
San Francisco has many things that kids will enjoy. There is a small lake in Golden Gate park. But how about the Pacific Ocean as well. I’m sure you will enjoy the cable car ride from downtown, up and over the steep hills to Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. There is also bay area discovery museum and Six Flags discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. Have Fun.

Q&A: Should I move even though it could cost me my kids living with me?
Posted by Mostafa Safavi in All about Washington D.C. on April 10th, 2011
Question by Rich S: Should I move even though it could cost me my kids living with me?
OK here it goes, I’m a single dad of 2 beautiful children, a 8yr old girl and a 6yr old boy. I have been the one that has taken care of them since our divorce 6 years ago and honestly Ive been the one that has taken care of them since birth. I am a disabled Vet, and about 6 years ago I got hurt again making it so I could no longer perform my trade. Since then the VA has sent me to school where I received my Masters degree in Network/Internet Security, and a bachelors degree in programming. The problem is where I live and the immediate area/states around THERE ARE NO JOBS. Now while I have been on a disability pension and I am able to live off it (to a certain degree) I feel the major need to get a job. I hate sitting around everyday all day. Granted I have started a few things on my own like a web hosting company, website building, Computer repair and computer/network building, and so much more. None of these things brings in any real money. This may be because I have no money for advertising and it could be many other reasons like everyone around me has no money. Anyways I am considering moving from Maine to either Virgina or Washington DC. Both these places have TONS of great jobs. The problem comes in where my X (understandably) doesn’t want the kids to leave with me. She did say we should ask the kids where they want to live. She said she would respect there wishes. The thing is I don’t know if I can stand to be away from them. Its always been me and the kids. I cant stand the thought of leaving them for a job, but the other end of that same coin how am I any kind of role model if they see me sitting on my butt collecting money. I have done my best to teach them ( as far as there age is concerned) about the benefits of working and not just sitting on welfare, but I’m not leading by example. So the question is (and sorry for being so long winded) do I go get a job and create a good life for me and my kids? Do I stay put and never go anywhere in life? What do I do? I’ll leave this where it is and answer any questions you all have. I just want to know if it is wrong for me to want to get a good job even though it could cost me having the kids live with me.
I will say one more set of things actually. First I am able to give the kids better computers than they have now so we can do video conferencing whenever they want, I know my X would never stop me from talking to them. I also know that if I do do this I will be able to come and see them or bring them to me anytime I want or they want. I will only honestly be 12 hours away by car. My kids can at will decide to come and live with me anytime (my X has already stated that she will respect there wishes), and to my cringing I do have to give my X a bit of props when saying she has lets, just say GROWN UP a lot since we have divorced so I know my kids are safe with her. Anyways thanks for taking the time to read this, and please be brutally honest with your opinions. Thanks
I just want to reply to the couple answers that have came in. First answer no I have not decided to move as of yet. I am debating with myself atm and though comming here might give me a bit more info to work with. The second answer I have to agree with you about asking the kids. I didnt think of that. thank you also I have total plans if I were to do this to do all my homework first and that would include getting a job and a home before moving. Also we have already talked about that type of visitation where her or I would take them for the summer and mix up the holidays. Also we are not at eachothers throts anymore so we dont run to lawyers as much as we used to.

It does kinda sound like you have already decided to go – sorry but that seems to be the tone that is coming across.
When my kids were younger – I had a chance to double my income, but it would have meant leaving the kids with my ex for 3 months whilst I completed the training course. I chose to stay with the kids (they always come first) I stuck it out, got another opportunity which involved moving but the kids could come with me, and it was only 3/4 hour away from my ex. This meant we were all happy.
