It's a summer ritual. Millions of families visit theme parks, entering fresh and rested and emerging short-tempered, sweaty and exhausted. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way for your family.

The first step in avoiding theme-park burnout is finding accommodations as close to the park as possible. That will enable your family to take a rest break during the hottest part of the day without losing too much time. Most parks will stamp your ticket to allow readmission and since many theme parks stay open later in the summer, an afternoon rest will allow you to enjoy the park during the cooler evening hours.

Another step in the planning process is to examine park maps and websites to determine which attractions you want to visit beforehand. This saves a lot of standing around peering at maps and trying to figure out what to do next. Be sure to involve your children in the planning process so that they can add their favorites to the list. Once you've determined what you want to do, develop a rough schedule and a walking route that will avoid backtracking.

The night before your visit, pack your supply kits. Each member of the family should have a small fanny pack containing their park tickets, a cell phone or two-way radio (these can be rented at many parks), a couple of energy bars, identification, a small tube of sunscreen, a park map and a small washcloth or a small pack of baby wipes. This is the time to discuss with your children what to do if they get separated from you and to lay down the ground rules regarding food and souvenirs.

One the morning of your visit, dress in cool, comfortable clothing and good walking shoes. Hats and sunglasses are also essential on sunny days, even for small children. One member of the family should carry a larger bag containing a towel, a pen, a pair of extra socks for each family member, a small first-aid kit and any supplies for younger family members such as extra clothing or diapers.

Try to arrive at the park at least a half hour before opening time. Some parks actually open earlier than their stated hours, giving you a jump on the crowds. When you arrive at the park, note where you parked your car on the back of your park ticket. Reinforce ground rules with your children before you enter the park. Once prepared with your supplies, schedule and rest time, you're sure to have a great day in the park!

T-shirts are a very hot item right now and there are many online businesses that have become very successful in producing their own t-shirts and selling them. The reason the t-shirt industry is so profitable is because almost everyone around the world wears t-shirts. You can find virtually any kind of t-shirt you want to fit whatever kind of mood you are in and whatever kind of message or fashion statement you are trying to get across. T-shirts are made to appeal to everyone and they do, it's one of the very few markets that have that universal appeal.

One of the hottest t-shirts on the market today is the vintage style t-shirt. People like to re-live a time in their past that they really enjoyed and feel very nostalgic about. They often go looking for retro or vintage designs and t-shirts that they might have worn back when they were a kid. Many times it can be a reminder of a simpler, better time in their life when they weren't dealing with the difficult events of current everyday life.

There are t-shirt companies that are actually reproducing old designs from the past and making new shirts from these designs. This is great for people looking for these vintage t-shirts because it makes it easier for them to track down that perfect design they have been looking for all this time. Since they are being reprinted, finding a size is often not an issue as well. Many online websites even offer customization to the shirt including adding a graphic you like on almost any color. You can make it the perfect shirt that you have either always wanted or have been looking for forever.

If you find a design that you love, a lot of the online shops also have the option of putting them on other objects and gifts as well. You can put it on objects like hats, mouse pads, coffee mugs, tote bags, ties, hoodies, sweatshirts, teddy bears, key chains and many other things. If it has the ability to be printed on, there should be no problem in customizing it to fit your needs.

Vintage t-shirts and gifts are not only great for you, but can be the perfect thing to give another person. If you know that a person is very nostalgic and likes to talk about "the good old days", finding a design that they remember and giving it to them as a gift on a t-shirt or another object can bring a smile to their face. Everyone likes being reminded of a cherished time in their lives, and getting them a vintage style t-shirt is a one way to help them do that. Now not only will they think about the good old days when wearing or using the gift, but they will think about the person who gave the gift to them as well.
