Using a 35mm as a walk about lens for Musems, Beach, sight seeing etc?

Hello,
I bought a D5100 about a year ago and have been using a 50-200mm lens for taking photos of birds in the backgarden.
However, in a few weeks time I will be taking my family to Devon for a weeks holiday.
I wanted to pick up a semi decent lens that I can use for family photos, local attractions like museums, Beach photos, scenary etc.

I tried a friends £600 zoom lens (17-70) and found it to be pretty good but I always stuck around 20-40mm. However, this is majorly out of my price range and like I say never felt the need to go high than 40mm.
I was just wondering has any one used a 35mm as a walk about lens? Do you feel a 35mm would be good for the above situations? I have seen quite a few for under £200, all with great reviews.

Why won't my DSLR shoot in aperture mode?

Whenever it's in aperture mode the shutter makes one noise and takes about 10 seconds to make the second. When I look at the picure it's just one great blur. The shutter shuts but doesn't open till about 10 seconds after. This happens on aperture mode no matter what the (number) is. Why?

Thanks. My camera is a nikon d3100.

Is the extra pair of 55-200mm lenses worth it for the priceof the bundle?

So I'm about to buy soon my first dslr camera. I've been eyeing the nikon D3300 recently. At $500, it comes with the camera itself and 18-55mm lenses. However, jumping the price to $600 gets me an additional 55-200mm lenses. I'm currently am asking if that $100 price jump is worth it in the end. I mostly plan on taking shots with little zoom, but I may occasionaly need the additional zoom. Should I buy the additional lenses or not and deal with the lesser range of potential zoom?

Here's a link to the camera:

Camera connect to tv?

I have a Nikon L830 and the lcd screen does not flip around. I make YouTube videos and want to be able to see I'm in frame. Before I go out and buy a mini hdmi to reg hdmi cable to test it, I wanted to know if I can plug my camera into a TV and see real time? I've tried to google it and I can't find anything with my model camera. I believe it's called tethering. Basically I want to see myself on my tv in realtime while I record it.
Thanks!
