TAKE SOME TIME TO RELAX DURING YOUR VACATION!
Whether you live in the area or are vacationing here--vacation time can be exhausting--trying to fit too many activities in. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back with a cold beverage and enjoy a great movie. Renting a movie can be a saving grace on rainy days with a house or cottage full of kids.
Here are some recent releases for kids and some for adults, too.
