Back in the fall of 2002 while I was five months preggy with my son, hubby decided to take a little vacation and give his big brother a visit in Pennsylvania. I was very excited cause it’s gonna be my first time in PA, and then they live not so far from Philly. I know there are a lot of things to do in Philadelphia. The one thing that came across my mind is to visit the home of TV shopping, the QVC Studio. Also, take the Deluxe Carriage tour and so as the Victorian Trolley Sightseeing tour.
To make it short, we made it to Pennsylvania. During our first 2 days there, we visited a few tourists attractions in the city where my brother-in-law lives. On our third day, hubby decided to drive instead of bothering his brother. Before heading to Philadelphia, we stopped by to a nearby restaurant cause we wanted to taste the famous Philly Cheese Steak. After that, we went ahead and drove to Philadelphia. At least we tried. I don’t know what went wrong but my hubby’s sense of direction wasn’t right at that time (we didn‘t have a GPS then), cause we kept on circling around to those tiny streets and we still can’t reach downtown Philadelphia. We ran out of gas and everything and were stuck in a small town (can’t remember the name anymore). As the last resort, we had to call his brother and give us the right direction. We ended up going back to the house and did nothing. It was a crazy day, I am telling you. We weren’t able to do the things I wanted to do. Now, we are planning to go back there, probably this summer.
Anyway, if you want to take a vacation whether in the magnificent mile of Chicago or in San Diego zoo or still can’t decide which city to hit, I would suggest you visit the website of Trusted Tours & Attractions, wherein you can’t just get family vacation ideas but a chance to win an Ipod Nano by signing up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter. But you gotta hurry cause offer ends on Monday, March 31st of 2008.
