Meet Bert, Ernie and Grover when the San Francisco Zoo helps kick off ticket sales for Sesame Street Live. They'll come to the Zoo on April 17 & 18.
Sesame Street Live “1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends” apparently comes to the Bay Area in Oakland in June (though I can't give you a date, because as of when this was written, the date was not on the site's calendar).
You'll be able to meet and take picturs with Ernie, Bert & Grover, plus enjoy live entertainment, coloring, music and an adventurous scavenger hunt. Plus, you can enter to win tickets to the show.
Click here for details on Bert, Ernie & Grover at the SF Zoo.
What: Bert, Ernie & Grover at the SF Zoo
When: April 17 & 18 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
Cost: included in zoo admission
RSVP: none

Restaurant.com coupon codes good through 4/11/10
This is the weekly posting with Restaurant.com coupon codes. I use the site frequently to save on meals when we eat out. They normally offer $25 gift certificates for $10, which is a good deal. But they usually run additional specials, like this week's - $25 gift certificates for $3. The sale is good through 11:59 p.m. midnight PST April 11th.
Here's how it works. Go to their website, restaurant.com and search for restauants. Find ones you want and add them to your cart. This week, use the code DISH to get the discount (then hit apply), and it shows up when you check out. Pay with a credit card and print out the certificates (or keep them online and print them out when you want to use them). They say they're good for a year, however one loyal reader pointed out that in California, there's no expiration date.
As always, I also have a link on the right side of the blog with the current coupon code.
Small print: The certificates have some restrictions - listed before you purchase (like maybe dining on Sunday to Thursday or buying at least 2 entrees), but if you find a restaurant you like or want to try - it's a great deal. The sale is good through April 11th, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Restaurant.com is a Frisco Kids affiliate, which means if you purchase using my link, I'll theoretically get a small commission. If I earn enough over time to warrant them paying out. At $3 a coupon, that probably won't happen, so I see it as just a service to my readers! I've been using them for over a year myself, so it's something I'm comfortable sharing with you.
