All aboard for Boston! Actually, if the Massachusetts Tourism Board could have it their way, you'd be more than Boston-bound; you'd be hopping and skipping around to all 1,000 tourist spots within the state of Massachusetts.
That's right; we said one thousand. It seems a bit ambitious for a tourist to even make it to 5% of the places, but then you know zealous people get over crossing off every item in the book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. For this Massachusetts version, featured spots include a Thermometer Museum, a vanilla extracts store and the entire town of Newton. We bet that you'll just be just fine going to your eternal rest without having visited a vanilla extracts store, but Massachusetts argues otherwise.
The good news is that the 1,000 places include old tourist standards like Boston Common, Six Flags New England and the Basketball Hall of Fame, so you can probably hit a fair chunk of them without having to detour out to the largest man-made water supply in the nation or the oldest church in the town of Ware.
See the entire 1,000-strong list here.
