But you’re thinking that if you take them to the pool, you have to keep an eye on them amongst 500 jumping and splashing kids. You’ve got to make sure yours are keeping their head above water and not drifting out too deep. In reality, all you want to do is sit in your backyard with your lounge chair, a good book, and plenty of sunshine.

Summer is here which means it is time for that annual ritual: the Family Vacation. You may be thinking that with this economy, who can afford to take time off of work for a vacation? Well, the truth is many of the vacation resorts, airlines and other tourism spots are seeing lower attendance this year due to the slower economy. This means these businesses are having to get creative with promotional offers, discounts and sales to spark the public to book a vacation in order to keep their doors open.

We have spent time finding some of the best vacation deals, discounts for airfare and rental cars that are available so you too can enjoy the drop in prices this summer and take a family vacation after all. Some of our favorite deals are below, but always check with the airline, rental car company, resort or cruise line to ensure you are getting the discounted prices and deals. There may be certain restrictions in order to receive the lowest prices, so it is always a good idea to check in with the travel company to insure you are getting the best prices available.

During the past few weeks leading up to Father’s Day, we have done our part to bring you some of the best money-saving, thoughtful Father’s Day gifts, and we hope you have been able to take advantage of these specials. Now, on the eve of Father’s Day we thought you would enjoy seeing one of the most outrageous gifts that you could give your dad this year. Endless.com has the Esquivel Paris Oxford available for the low price of only $3,158.70. Now that may seem like a lot of money, but take notice - if you order now, you can save 10% from the regular price! Not only will you save 10%, but you’ll get Free Shipping - whoo hoo!!

Sure, that $3,150 could buy you month’s worth of $100 dinners with Dad, but that’s food that is gone after you eat it, never to be seen again! These shoes will last for years, mainly because Dad will be too afraid to wear them outside of the house for fear of getting a scuff or even a drop of mud on them. But seriously, what does $3,150 get you in shoes these days? According to Endless.com, you’ll get 12 hours of hand-engraved artwork, basically giving you two individual pieces of art. Once Dad slips on these handmade, individually crafted shoes he’ll be in exquisite company; Esquivel footwear is currently worn by actors, members of royal families, politicians and world-class athletes!

Splurge on Dad this year - order the Paris Oxford from Esquivel today on Endless.com! Or, spend your hard-earned money wisely and look for Dad’s favorite stuff at Sears - selected items are now 50% off just in time for Father’s Day.

Father’s Day is only days away, and if you are still looking for the perfect gift for dear old Dad, look no further than the deal we found at JCPenney. The Sharper Image Wireless Speaker, normally priced at $170, is now only $50, a $120 savings!

The Sharper Image Wireless Speaker can receive a signal from the transmitter from up to 100 feet away. This means if Dad is working on the car, chilling on the patio or hanging out at the pool - he can listen to his favorite music without the worry that his favorite MP3 player might get damaged or dropped in the drink. This wireless speaker system can also be used with CD players, stereo receivers and more. To hear his favorite music, radio station or podcast, Dad can simply connect his device to the wireless transmitter - and he’ll have crystal clear sound from up to 100 feet away. The speaker is made with water-resistant housing, so setting this speaker poolside won’t cause any stress. Measuring at a compact 15″ high x 7″ deep, the speaker uses 8 “D” batteries to pump up the volume. But don’t worry that you’ll be spending a fortune on batteries over the years, because this speaker comes with an AC power adapter. Don’t miss out on this deal on a great Father’s Day gift - order The Sharper Image Wireless Speaker from JCPenney.com today!

Just in times for Father’s Day, Sears has taken $5 off the price on the Craftsman Utility Gloves bringing your price to only $9.99. These gloves will make a great Fathers Day gift for the Dad in your house. I have had a few pair of these through the years, and they do stand up to quite a beating for whatever projects Dad has to handle. I’ve used these gloves for working on the cars around the house, while doing landscaping projects around the yard, and I’ve even worn them while helping some friends load boxes and furniture into trucks while moving and they have stood up very well.

These gloves have a snug fit and angled cuff for ease of getting his hands in and out. Made from quality material, these Craftsman Utility Gloves feature Lycra® panels between fingers to provide comfort and mobility. And to keep them looking and smelling clean after a day working in the yard, Dad can toss these in the washing machine and the gloves will come out looking great. Order online, but be sure to choose in-store pickup to have your order waiting for you and you won’t pay any shipping costs. Order the Large/Extra or the Small/Medium Men’s Utility Work Gloves from Sears today. How when you tell Dad to “get a grip”, you’ll actually mean it instead of arguing about the number of text messages you’ve been sending.

The updated maps and POI’s will come in very handy if a summer road trip is in your plans and you would prefer to get to your destinations as quickly as possible without getting lost.

If you haven’t yet heard the buzz regarding Apple’s world famous iPhone 3G, we are here to fill you in on the latest exciting news from Apple. With the unveiling of the 3rd-generation iPhone, the 3GS, Apple has lowered the price of their second generation model, the iPhone 3G, to only $99. That is a $100 price drop from the previous price price. If you have been on the fence about getting an iPhone, this price drop should give you the push you need to take the plunge.

I have a 3G iPhone and could not be happier with it. The 3G phone comes with more applications than can be mentioned here, but some of my favorites include the built-in GPS navigation, the iTunes software to listen to music or watch movies (good to keep the kids occupied), the internet browsing and email capability. I’ll admit, I was one of the late adopters to this awesome device. But now that we have it, we can honestly say it is one of the best pieces of technology that we’ve ever owned.

I haven’t even mentioned anything about the iPhone App Store. You’ve seen the commercials, “There is an App for that”. Well, it’s true, there is most definitely an App for whatever you can think of. Many of these Apps are .99 cents to $1.99, but even better is that there are thousands of these Apps that are FREE. The iPhone comes with 3G service, which means you’ll get a faster internet connection, and consistent wireless capability wherever service is available. If you haven’t yet been bitten by the iPhone bug, now is the time to take the leap of faith and get one for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Order the Apple iPhone 3G from the Apple Store today (Click the iPhone 3G icon in the top left).
