We had such a great weekend!! We took the girls into Boston, took a hop on, hop off tour, which means from 9am-5pm, we could hop on and off the trolly at 9 Historic spots and enjoy walking around and exploring. Places like, Fanuel Hall, Boston Common, Tea Party, Naval Ship Yard..The U.S.S. Constitution.. She's so beautiful!! The trolly guides are hilarious and so informative! You could choose one, two, or tour them all.
We chose City View Trolly so we also got the Harbor Crusie for $10 each. I bought the tickets through my GROUPON app!!! Which meant we saved $23 each tix, for the trolly and $13 each tix, for the Harbor Cruise. For a family day for 7, we saved a total of $211.00!! HOLY COW!
Now, with that said, we ate at Fanuel Hall... that can be expensive!! I suggest choosing wisely. Regina's Pizza is my fav, and there's an amazing ice cream spot called Sprinkles!! Which my husband says is so wrong.. lol cause they're JIMMIES, NOT SPRINKLES! However, if your're looking to spend some $$ for a date night, there's also a Ghirardelli Chocolate Ice Cream Bar!! Holy Smokes, walking by it ... the smell is amazeballs!
Today's Lesson/Tip, stay local, look around, there's so much that we just don't see because we're so busy!! Use that Groupon! It's worth it. The girls learned so much and their hearts grew for their home! We chose to take the tour because life happens and it's nice to slow down and listen to the stories of home! I grew up in SOMERVILLE. My home was in the Winter Hill area. Whitey was a name that everyone knew and I lived 5 mins from where Paul Revere stood to wait for the lights to be hung in the steeple of Old North Church and 5 mins from The Mystic River. Growing up, not a big deal.. as an adult, so much pride!! You don't always have to travel and spend thousands to enjoy life. Staycations are good!
Hope you take the time to relearn the stories about where you live and take in some time loving on your family!! Enjoy your week!
