So we didn't get to check off 'Attend the Olympics' family bucket list!
More like a realistic staycation instead of our olympic-size vacation...
Well, we still have many ways to enjoy the celebrations.
So, let's charge that e-tablet, log in to our social network accounts, skype with friends, hangout on Google+ , take awesome HD pics from our smart-phones and post to Flickr.
Is there anyway to watch the games in 3D or Real-D? Our son would enjoy that!
Serving 5 symbolic Olympic foods every viewing! {Hint: Foods from 5 countries; or favorite dishes by your favorite Olympians; serve food in circular-shaped or olympic-themed dinnerware}

Hi5! we're right in the virtual fans stand having fun!
pin it, hangout, post, cloud, iBook, tweet, share and carry the virtual torch!
Let's fan the flames!

Giving your high schooler a stake in planning your summer trip can make the vacation more meaningful." Taking a detour from mainstream tourist attractions can also lead to valuable learning experiences. There is less likelihood that you will have a sulking teenager on your trip, who feels like they are being forced to do activities that they have no interest in," Kahn says.
