What was the last museum, parade, festival or car show that you went to?

I have heard of Davao City when I was in the Philippines. I think that is where my friend was going to look for a van or suv for sale. There must have been a used car dealer there. However, there were too many people, so I didn't take the opportunity to go along.

I don't know if I will make it back to the Philippines, but if I do, I will keep that in mind. It sounds like a great festival with a lot of events.

I also like galleries.

I like just about any kind of car show. And when I go to a festival, I will generally look to see when their car show is and plan my day around it. A lot of times, it is the day before the parade, or maybe the morning before the parade. Then the winning cars will be in the parade with their trophies displayed from the car show. I also like watching parades, but haven't seen one in quite a few years.

Hi there techgurl, and thank you for your response in this discussion. It is good to see that there are a few people who still like to go to museums and festivals. It sounds like that was an art festival that you went to, which is kind of a bonus. You get the kind of art museum appeal along with a unique festival. There was an art feat here a couple of weeks ago, and it was similar to that but on a much smaller scale. However, we did enjoy ourselves.

Thanks again, and have a great day here on myLot!

That sounds like an excellent museum. And I know how hard it can be to keep kids' attention, at any age. So that was quite an accomplishment.

Our local train museum has a special Haunted Exhibit each Halloween. I received the opportunity to go with some friends one time, and it was exceptional. I have been to one other train exhibit, that was a small one in St. Louis. But I am sure neither of these were anything compared to what you have discussed here.

Thank you for your response and have a great day here on myLot!

The Halloween attraction is also the one that my grandchildren and I saw here in Ohio. It was a lot of fun and very kid friendly so as not to scare them. I appreciated that. Thanks for mentioning that St. Louis offers a train museum. We were thinking of having one of our family reunions in St. Louis and I was wondering what might be of interest there (other than the arch) and now thanks to you I know to research the possibility of visiting museums of interest there.

St. Louis is one of the best cities for free attractions. I have been there a couple of times and was really impressed with their zoo, especially since there is no admission fee. You only pay for parking, which is great if you have a van full of kids. LOL

I have recently written an article about traveling to St. Louis on a budget. It includes a number of different sites to see there for free. Here is the link: http://www.ehow.com/how_5... hope you and the grandkids will enjoy your vacation. Have a great day!

Thanks for the link Kykidd. However, now the family has decided to change the vacation plans and go to either Ozark Beach or Branson in Missouri. I have heard that there are a lot of things to do in Branson but I have not had time yet to look into it. They are all thinking of renting a chalet somewhere around there. Those plans will probably change too though LOL! Our family reunion plans seem to change month to month until the very last minute and then we all scramble to try and find the best prices we can. Oh well, at least I am lucky enough to have family reunions.

Family reunions are great. Our family hasn't been to one in years. I think the more distant relatives still get together in Eastern Kentucky. I went to them as a kid. It was always great to see all of the distant cousins, and back them I actually remembered them. LOL

I have been to Branson a couple of times. The last time I was there, I took my mother for her 60th birthday. She had never been, and she simply loved the place and we both wished we would have had more time.

Wherever you decide to go, or whatever you decide to do, I hope you have fun.

Sorry have not been to a car show in a while, and the last festival was 2 years ago and was the local 4th of July festival in my town.

Hi there LadyM and thank you for your response in this discussion. I went to Wonder Works last April when I was on vacation with my mom and my niece. We were three different generations, and we all three loved it.

As a matter of fact, at one point we got separated. And I thought that my mom may have gone out to the car. She was on one of the machines back in a corner, and we couldn't find her. It was hilarious, because she was having just as much fun as us, and didn't want to leave.

I'm really into car shows. I find it really exciting to see all of the work that some people put into their vehicles.

Thank you for responding in this discussion, and have a great day here on myLot!
