Painting With A Twist
Painting With A Twist has been going on for over 15 years now. This idea began after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans.

So, if you fancy painting and want to meet new people, then this is a great place to visit, as the emphasis is on fun, fun, fun!

(Kings Island, Mason) Kings Island was awesome. We took my 9 year old son, 12 year old daughter and niece and nephew. They had a good time; we were there from Monday evening to Thursday afternoon. We didn’t even want to leave after 4 days! The lines weren’t long and all the rides were working while we were there. I would definitely recommend this to others.
