Wow! It’s finally starting to feel like spring. I can’t believe how long it took for the snow to melt! It was like it turned to ice! But now that the weather’s better, it’s time to make the most of it with a spring vacation.

The greatest spring vacation I had while visiting Chicago was pretty simple. A few friends and I took our time visiting the major sights, but really spent most of the break in all the great local restaurants. Boy, there sure is a lot of good food to choose from in Chicago! Great hot dogs, great pizza, great everything! Mmm, mmmm….

Some people, finding out that there isn’t an annual Ferris Bueller parade, need a little help finding things to do in Chicago. Like maybe sightseeing tours? That’s where Trusted Tours & Attractions comes in. This company can offer you discount tickets to the best tours for sightseeing in 23 cities nationwide. Discounts are especially important now that the economy has declared its turbulence to be real instead of imaginary. So if you’re searching for ideas regarding how to plan your vacation, like trying to figure out things to do in Las Vegas, Trusted Tours and Attractions can help you.

I was once vacationing in Atlanta, and I had this crazy experience. I was walking down a street with some friends, and all of a sudden we hear kids laughing from nearby, and the sound of water running. A little bit closer we could see they were playing on a Slip ‘N Slide. But it wasn’t a real Slip ‘N Slide! It was trash bags and a hose!

It was funny. I guess those kids got brainwashed by the ‘ol TV and begged and begged for “Slip ‘N Slide!” “Slip ‘N Slide!” Until finally someone had enough and went to the trouble of making their own.

So now you know, world, the secret formula behind homemade Slip ‘N Slides. Next week, the secret method for preparing a meal of blowfish.

Lucky for me, I didn’t require a list of things to do in Atlanta at the time. I was having too many crazy experiences (one after another, left and right!) to bother to worry about family vacation ideas.

But… Trusted Tours & Attractions (TrustedTours.com) could help in that regard. Like say you're going to San Francisco. What to do? Maybe see an Alcatraz tour. “Hey, what should we do in San Francisco?” “Let’s go to jail!” “All right!!” Fun for the whole family…
