My Mom's birthday recently passed by, and whenever our family gets together for special events like this we always end up reminiscing about past good times. I guess most families are like that.

We were fortunate growing up in that we have close relatives living along the US eastern coastline, so as a family we often travelled throughout the states that border the American coast, such as New York, Connecticut, Florida, and Massachusetts where we have many extended family members, and friends.

Occasionally we would fly for vacation, but more often than not we would take road trips in my Dad's old LTD Ford station wagon with the wood panelling. If you were a child of the 70s like me you should definitely remember those lol!

My Dad is long passed away now, but those memories, and things to do in Boston, and other fun cities have never left me. One thing I would like to do with my own kids when the funds are available is visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts which you can get a great deal on admissions in combination with other great Bostonian tourist sites via Trusted Tours & Attractions. If you are unfamiliar with this travel website, they provide online travel guides for all the major tourist destinations in the USA. These guides are highly informative, and can save you big bux $$$$ on your vacation plans. Check out their things to do in Los Angeles pages, and you'll see what I mean about combining great touring opportunities to see everything you want to, while saving big dough. The latter then being able to be spent on souvenirs.

Also if you sign-up for their free travel newsletter before the end of July 2008 you can win $150 bux worth of Itunes! How cool is that!

Cheers!
