If you planning a family vacation, consider Boston, Massachusetts; it will be more than just fun and entertainment for the family; you will take a trip back in time in American History and the patriot in you will come alive. This classic Massachusetts city offers great history, entertainment, sports, and lots of fun. There is plenty to do and see in the state's capital, so, it is up to you whether you want to go over the weekend or for a full week's holiday.

Children and adults alike will enjoy reveling in American history on the historic Massachusetts Freedom Trail. This great trail takes visitors to 16 historical sights that played a huge part in the creation of America. From historic buildings to special places to memorials to statues, you will see Boston on the Freedom Trail. Be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes, since you will be covering a good bit of the city while on the trail. To start on the trail, begin your adventure at the National Park Visitors Center across from the historic Old State House. Park Rangers can lead you on a guided tour or you can explore the trial for yourself.

If you are a sports fan you will take a special thrill seeing the world famous Boston Red Sox knock one out of the park. The classic Fenway Park is one of the best parks in the entire professional baseball circuit, and the Sox are back and better than ever before after their record breaking victory.

The football enthusiasts will enjoy watching the fantastic New England Patriots, Super Bowl winners in 2002, 2004, and 2005.

You will have to check out their schedule to see when they will be playing at the fantastic Gillette Stadium, which is nearly 30 minutes south of the city.

Your trip to Boston would be incomplete without a trip to Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. Here you will find everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to great souvenirs of the city. Quincy Market's newest resident is the professional chef, Emeril Legasse. Don't miss his fantastic live show.

In the heart of the city you would find a big green space, the Boston Common- darling of the Bostonians. This park is full of kids, their parents and tourists. You and your kids can enjoy a game of baseball, soccer and more or just while away the time.

The Public Garden that boasts of the world famous Swan Boats is another great green space in the city. Let your entire family experience a ride on these great boats. If you are a fan of E.B. White, you will especially relish the swan boats, as they appeared in his classic book, "Trumpet of the Swan".
