Thank You to our Veterans! #AmericanVeteranPBS

Talking about #VeteransDay with the kids?

We've partnered with PBS to share some of the stories from PBS Voices series American Veteran: Keep It Close


We have many levels and branches of military in our family. We are proud of each of them and honored to support them all.

My daughter loves to collect boxes of girl scout cookies while selling them to hand deliver and donate to local military on base. We always want to show our appreciation. 

So may ways to say thank you and so many stories to hear from our amazing veterans.

Click my Playlist link for a special way to honor Veterans with your family this week.

Currently Playing on American Veteran: Keep It Close “What a Stuffed Bunny Means to This Military Family”. When Yolanda Mayo was a newlywed, she deployed to Iraq for Desert Shield/Desert Storm with her Marine Corps unit. Her husband sent her a stuffed bunny for Easter and the memento quickly became a source of shared joy for her and her tent mates.. CLICK FOR MORE:  Playlist

Sesame Place San Diego Updates on Opening! #SesamePlace #autismmom #autismfriendly

Sesame Place San Diego has some news today!

How fitting that their updates come on this day too...

Today – aka Sesame Street Day – marks the 52nd anniversary of Sesame Street’s television debut on Nov. 10, 1969.



To celebrate, Sesame Place San Diego – an exciting, family friendly theme park modeled after the pioneering series – announced that its first location on the West Coast has reached a construction milestone with all Sesame Street-themed rides that twist, turn and swirl nearing completion!

The park is set to open March 2022 and will feature an interactive Sesame Street Neighborhood, complete with the iconic 123 Stoop, kids can play in a world that plays back through immersive physical and digital character experiences.

The 17-acre park will also open as a Certified Autism Center (CSA) allowing parents to plan activities that satisfy their child’s specific needs and accommodations.

SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: SEAS), a leading theme park and entertainment company, and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street®, today celebrated the day Sesame Street debuted on television and introduced us to our favorite furry characters that showed us that education can be fun, with the announcement of the new rides near completion at the highly anticipated Sesame Place San Diego park opening in March 2022.  The new 17-acre park will be the second Sesame Place location in the country and the first located on the West Coast.  Perfect for families and kids of all ages, Sesame Street-themed attractions and rides that twist, turn, and swirl will include:

·       Elmo’s Rockin’ Rockets let kids hop in one of Elmo’s rocket ships as they fly up, down, and all around on an imaginary trip through outer space

·       Sunny Day Carousel, a cute, colorful, classic ride that’s perfect for all ages

·       Cookie Climb puts kids in a cloud of cookie crumbs as they pull themselves to the top of Cookie Monster-themed towers and hang on tight for a giggling ride back down

·       Abby’s Fairy Flight, a family swing ride themed after everyone’s favorite fairy-in-training

·       Rosita’s Harmony Hills lets kids of all ages climb, crawl, and create beautiful ‘música’ as they play on the rolling green hillsides

·       Rub-A-Dub Sub invites kids to buckle up and get ready for a bubbly adventure aboard Ernie’s toy submarine; the S.S. Duckie goes around and around both forward and backward, bringing smiles to everyone on board

·       Sesame Street Soar & Spin lets guests choose their favorite furry friend’s balloon and go up high for a bird’s-eye view of the park

·       Super Grover’s Box Car Derby is a family-friendly coaster full of fun hills, big turns, and mini-dives

The park features an interactive Sesame Street Neighborhood complete with the iconic 123 Stoop, where kids can play in a world that plays back through immersive physical and digital character experiences. Looking forward to the summer months ahead, guests will be able to splash through 11 reimagined water attractions including a 500,000-gallon wave pool – one of the largest in Southern California – opening Memorial Day weekend.

Guests will have exciting ways to engage with Sesame Street characters, including a live character show, an award-winning daily parade, one-of-a-kind photo opportunities, and hugs from everyone’s favorite furry friends. In addition to ongoing park offerings, the park will open with a full lineup of exciting family-friendly events and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.

“We’re thrilled with the progress of the much-anticipated Sesame Place San Diego, where families will experience a unique and powerful way to engage with their favorite characters and brand,” said Steve Youngwood, Chief Executive Officer, Sesame Workshop. “Those deep connections drive everything we do at Sesame Workshop and help deliver educational benefits to children around the world.”

Certified Autism Center

Sesame Place San Diego will open as a Certified Autism Center (CAC) as designated by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). Sesame Place San Diego will mirror Sesame Place Philadelphia, which was the first theme park in the world to achieve this designation. Staff-wide autism sensitivity and awareness training will be completed prior to the park’s debut, and robust pre-visit planning resources, including a park-specific sensory guide will be featured on its website, making it easier for parents to plan activities that satisfy their child’s specific needs and accommodations. Designated quiet spaces with comfortable seating will be incorporated into the park’s design.

Conveniently Located, Open Year Round

Sesame Place San Diego is conveniently located in Chula Vista, within minutes of downtown San Diego, or a short-day trip from Los Angeles. The park will be open year-round with water attractions offered seasonally. Parents and children will soon be able to share in the fun, laughter, and learning of Sesame Street through whirling rides, splashy water slides, exciting shows, an award-winning parade, an interactive neighborhood, seasonal events, and more.

“San Diego is a premiere tourist destination and Sesame Place is the perfect place for families looking to learn and play on the West Coast,” said Marc Swanson, Chief Executive Officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Inc. “We’re excited that our Sesame Street friends are coming to San Diego and are eager to give locals a fun new experience, as well as provide tourists another great reason to visit San Diego.”

Guests can purchase 2022 Season Passes to Sesame Place San Diego with the best savings at a low price prior to the park opening. Starting at $12/month, those who take advantage of the introductory prices will be the first to receive news and information about Sesame Place San Diego’s opening date and be invited to a special opening day event. All Season Pass holders will receive unlimited visits with no blockout dates, free parking, free guest tickets, plus access to all seasonal events and discounts on tickets, merchandise, ride again privileges, and more.*

For fans who want to visit Sesame Place AND SeaWorld San Diego, they can add SeaWorld to their Sesame Place Season Pass for unlimited visits to both parks starting at only an additional $7/month.

MainPlace Mall Announces 'The Elf on the Shelf' Holiday Experience! #MainPlaceMall

MainPlace Mall Introduces Interactive ‘The Elf on the Shelf ®’ Holiday Experience

Shopping Center Outlines Contactless Santa Visits and COVID-Safe Holiday Season Cleaning Protocols

MainPlace is our favorite interactive Santa visit each year. There is something special about strolling through scenes or experiencing the magic of the holidays in person while you walk to see the big man himself.


The new set revolutionizes the traditional Santa visit, offering guests an interactive, branded family entertainment experience that will appeal to visitors of all ages – not just families with children. The MainPlace experiential set – “The Elf on the Shelf: Santa’s Magical Photo Adventure” – is a walk-through set that combines the best elements of today’s highly popular “selfie museums” with the grandeur of a theme park attraction.

Santa will be available for visits and professional photos daily beginning Thursday, November 18th, through Christmas Eve, December 24th. Santa’s hours will vary; to see his schedule, visit www.ShopMainPlaceMall.com/holiday.

Santa’s arrival celebration will take place on Friday, November 19th, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. During the celebration in Center Court, the event will also feature children’s activities, giveaways and music. Escalated cleaning and safe-distancing protocols will be followed, and guests are asked to observe all state and local healthcare regulations; masks are encouraged.

After Santa has arrived in his new home, visits with Santa will begin with a walk through the new interactive “The Elf on the Shelf: Santa’s Magical Photo Adventure” set. After they work their way through the captivating and entertaining set, children will be able to talk with Santa to share their holiday wish lists. For photos, guests will have the option of sitting with Santa or taking photos with 6 feet of social distance; for socially distanced photos, each picture will be professionally staged to minimize the visibility of that distance.

To reduce overall wait times and promote social distancing and contactless payment for the Santa photo opportunity, families are strongly encouraged to make a reservation in advance of their visit at 
https://bit.ly/3p804kA. While strongly encouraged, a reservation is not required, and walk-up visits will be accommodated on a space-available basis. In addition to paid professional photos, the new “The Elf on the Shelf: Santa’s Magical Photo Adventure” holiday experience will also include a variety of no-cost selfie opportunities.



COVID-Safe Cleaning Protocols
Holiday shopping means more people will be visiting MainPlace Mall. As a result, the shopping center has increased its cleaning protocols via a third-party professional cleaning organization that is well versed in curbing the spread of viral outbreaks in malls and other public places.


Happy Holidays!!
