Rubiks Cube

Still one of our most popular posts!

It’s been a BIG year! The Go BIG or Go Home family travel blog has reached its first anniversary of chronicling what happens when our small-town family visits the “world’s largest…” whatever! To celebrate, we have a BIG giveaway prize!

The year began with reports from the world’s largest light bulb in NJ, and the world’s largest rotating globe in ME. Sometimes we were cultural and high class, with visits to one of the world’s largest botanic gardens, and the largest Buddha in the western hemisphere. But we know what the masses REALLY want, so we also ran reports of the world’s largest Rubik’s Cube and the world’s largest toilet!

Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who has followed our posts from the beginning, and those loyal fans who contribute to the conversation with fun comments! Thanks to everyone who has shared their photos of BIG things they’ve spotted on the road! We love to see these on our Facebook page. We especially appreciate everyone who has contributed a guest post, sharing stories of BIG things in places our family hasn’t reached yet.

And now, the fun part! We’re giving away A PAIR OF TWO pre-paid, 3-day adult Go City Cards for the city of your choice, courtesy of Smart Destinations!

Smart Destinations is the premier provider of unlimited sightseeing and attraction admission passes in 15 major North American travel destinations. Smart Destinations’ Go City Cards and Explorer Passes offer pre-paid access to over 425 museums, attractions, and tours for one low fixed price.

    Whew that is a hard one! I am torn between quite a few posts, but say top two? Hershey’s and the Rain Forest. Congratulations on the anniversary and I look forward to another BIG year.

    I really liked the enormous Gnome. But, I’m particularly fond of the Georgia Aquarium piece!

    I love reading your posts and gleaning ideas for our travels, but some of my favorite posts have been your Virginia Beach area posts, especially the Sea Monster at Sandbridge Beach. We spent quite a bit of time in the area a few years ago and everytime I read something about the area I remember how much fun my family had.

    My favorite article was about the International Center for the History of Electronic Games – I guess I’m an old school gamer at heart!
