Welcome to good old Massachusetts! Ready to go shopping? Why don't you hit The Solomon Pond Mall over in Marlborough? It is a great place to shop if you have children. There's a KB Toys, The Disney Store, a bookstore, and a pet store. There's also quite a few family restaurants in this mall. If you have some extra time to kill, there's also a movie theatre. Mmmmm . . . can you smell that movie theatre popcorn?

Welcome to Massachusetts! Did you want to stop to grab a bite to eat? If you like italian food, I recommend that you try Bertucci's Brick Oven Ristorante. I have never been disappointed with their food, which is always tasty and fresh. They are best-known for their brick-oven pizzas and their dinner rolls have earned themselves some fame. I love them both, but I also enjoy their large variety of pasta dishes.
Bertucci's is the perfect place to eat, whether you are a party of one, two, or five. In my case, we usually are the five. Luckily this is a family-friendly restaurant. They provide children with crayons and coloring pages, but the best treat for kids is the pizza dough. Yes, they give each child a wad of pizza dough to play with (like play dough). It really occupies the children (and adults) while they wait for their meals to arrive. Bertucci's has quite a variety on their children's menu also.
There are many Bertucci's locations all across Massachusetts . . . at least 10. It is likely you will drive by one as you make your way through our state and head off to your next stop. Thanks for stopping by today!

Welcome to Massachusetts, home of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Fenway Park! My name is Karen and have been blogging since March '08. Aside from this one, I have a personal blog that I try to update daily. I am a WAHM to 3. You can visit my other blog to read more about my family. In fact, I am participating on both blogs and I am trying not to repeat myself in the introductions.
I am somewhat of a shopping addict, adept at comparison shopping, enjoy hunting for freebies, never buy online without first looking for a coupon code, love love love giveaways, and have grown quite fond of writing reviews. For these reasons, A Blog of Goodies was born.
In honor of this bloggy road trip, I am holding my first ABOG Giveaways this week. There will be a new giveaway posted each day at midnight. All contests will run through 11:59pm EST September 5th, 2008. Also, anyone who is holding a giveaway this week is welcome to leave their link on Gimme Giveaways at the top of this blog.
I'm tagging along on the Mommy Community's Blog Trip! I hope you will join in on the fun too. Get ready for a week of ABOG Giveaways right here!!
