jon and kate go green
Did you see Jon and Kate Plus 8 last night?
Jon and Kate Plus 8 are going green!! I really like that show and people say Kate is annoying but i think she is fine……people say she is mean to Jon and a clean freak.Well we dont know how Jon acts off the camera (but i really like Jon and maybe Kate could stop yelling so much at him) I feel bad for him but he seems not to mind it after so long.And if you were the mother of 8 children you wouldnt want them to get dirty so you dont have to clean or throw away 8 outfits…so i like the show!!! (Also i hate that rumor about Jon “cheating on Kate” which he didnt) I hope they dont stop the show!!!!!!
wow you are so right, I love the show it’s great.

Paradise Point Offers Perfect Tropical Vacation
Most California residents think they have to get on an airplane and fly 3,000 miles to visit Hawaii. Truth be told, all they have to do is hop in their car and head south on Interstate 5.
Okay, it’s not exactly the same, but San Diego’s Paradise Point Resort and Spa has pulled out all the stops to re-create many of the islands’ charms. To begin with, it’s on an island. Then factor in the lush old-growth palm trees – groves of them – that make the 44-acre resort feel in many ways like CoCo Palms, the famous resort on Kauai where Elvis Presley filmed Blue Hawaii. Throw in some tiki torches, beaches, lagoons, lush gardens and plenty of birds, turtles and other wildlife, and you have Hawaii, the California version.
Oh, did we mention it’s also right next door to one of the most popular theme parks in California – SeaWorld? You’re starting to get the picture. Paradise Point has to be considered one of California’s best kids’ resorts with its many recreational opportunities and special features. Located on Mission Bay, many of the resort’s bungalows have waterfront views across the bay to Pacific Beach and the hills of La Jolla. Other bungalows are on various lagoons and waterways situated throughout the resort property. With numerous swimming pools and beaches, water recreation is never far away, and families will enjoy – as we did – discovering all the resort’s nooks and crannies by riding bicycles through the property and an adjacent waterfront park.
While the resort features several tennis courts, croquet and other family activities, a unique feature is the 18-hole putting golf course. A lot like a miniature golf course, the green is woven throughout the resort’s tropical landscaping and easy for all ages to enjoy. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, it’s easy for even non-golfers to pretend they’re teeing up on one of Hawaii’s famous golf courses.
With so many fun family activities, it’s no wonder that Paradise Point was the resort selected by the TV show Jon and Kate Plus Eight when they brought the family to the San Diego area. This, of course, was a major selling point for our nine-year-old daughter who couldn’t wait to vacation in the same place as Jon and Kate.
Our one-bedroom bungalow was on a horseshoe-shaped beach with plenty of sand and calm water for swimming. Outside, there were chairs to sit and enjoy the view as well as a lawn area to play. Inside, the bungalow was completely furnished and featured two stylish easy chairs, a coffee table and sleeper-couch as well as a dinette set in the main open area of the unit. Adjacent was a wet bar with a refrigerator. The bedroom featured a king bed with a decorative headboard and other modern bedroom furniture. A bath/shower combination was flanked on both sides by vanities. Throughout the bungalow, the warm designer colors and special decorative touches made the unit look and feel like it had just been updated – which it had as part of a major renovation just completed.
This is a resort where you keep on finding new things to catch your interest and we enjoyed meandering the grounds and finding such things as Spa Terre where even children are value customers. Mom and daughter can get a side-by-side massage, or there are such things as ice cream pedicures and finger painting kids manicures. Or try the Clean for Teen Facial. But careful – get those kids hooked on spas and your future resort bills will never be the same.
For lunch, we’d highly recommend the Barefoot Bar and Grill with one of San Diego’s best waterfront views and plenty of that Hawaiian style landscaping to transport you to a different world. The kids will enjoy watching the sharks and other fish in the bar’s lagoon, while the outdoor patio will have you alternating glances between the boats going by and the beautiful people sitting next to you. The food at Barefoot is top-notch with burgers, hot sandwiches and salads the main fare.
We also had the opportunity to dine at the resort’s BALEENsandiego, a stylish restaurant with an impressive array of dishes. Known for its seafood and incredible views, we found it also does really well with its fire-roasted meats and desserts to die for. The chef here obviously puts in the effort to make this one of San Diego’s finest restaurants and both Baleen and the Barefoot Bar are easily accessible not only for Paradise Point guests, but also for San Diego visitors staying at other properties. Either restaurant would be an excellent choice for a special meal out.
Mission Bay is well situated and quite near such attractions as the SeaWorld, the San Diego Waterfront, Old Town, and La Jolla.
AT A GLANCE
WHERE: Paradise Point Resort and Spa is on its own island in the middle of Mission Bay, just minutes off Interstate 5, but a world apart.
WHAT: Paradise Point is an island that lives up to its name, surrounded by the water of Mission Bay, a popular place for both residents and tourists to walk, jog or bike, or participate in water activities. It’s an excellent choice for couples or families.
WHEN: Any time of year. Even in winter, the temperatures are in the 60′s and the odds are that you’ll get a fair amount of sunshine.
WHY: Paradise Point offers you the ability to stay in one area and still have a vacation full of activities, or you are well situated for an easy drive to nearby points of interest such as SeaWorld, downtown San Diego, Pacific Beach or La Jolla.
HOW: For more information on Paradise Point Resort and Spa, call 800-344-2626.

Kate being rude, on J and K + 8 Goes Green?
Does anyone think that Kate was being REALLY rude to the people that were working on her house for ‘Jon and Kate plus 8 goes green’? I know she hates projects, but seriously she was flat out being a crab. I turned the TV off after like 20 minutes becuase all she was doing was COMPLAINING the whole time! Does anyone else agree?
Oh and I do LOVE the show, but I think she was really being an a** to Steve >:(
Oh I know, you guys are TOTALLY right I mean yeah, she needs to get away from the kids sometime, but don’t leave your servant husband to do it!! I feel SO bad for Jon! She needs to wake up and realize that one day, Jon may not be with her anymore (Because thats whats eventually gonna happen)
I agree! My husband and I couldn’t believe the way she was treating him. The guy kept trying to get her excited about it and have fun with it but she just kept bashing on him. I couldn’t believe when she said that most of what he said would be cut from the show. (which it was not and I found quite interesting) She had said the day before that she was interested in the money they would be saving and when he is nice enough to share with her how they will be saving it, she is just rude. I too think that she needs to wake up because Jon puts up with A LOT from her (yelling, talking to him like he is a little kid, etc…) I also think she was being really mean to her kids too. They tried to play a joke where they were in the boxes and she just seemed bored and didn’t really respond. Something was definitely up with her.
