Get out TODAY! Rain tomorrow
Aug 1st, 2009 by Maria
Today’s the better weekend day, so pack your kids up and head out. We’re off soon ourselves to do a little urban adventure before a 1:00 birthday party (Bloc, Hub Comics, Union Square Farmer’s Market and maybe Bunker Hill Monument if we can squeeze it in), so I’m afraid I must refer you here for ideas:

A couple of our recent faves: Canobie Lake Park (amusement parks are a bit of a necessary evil, in my opinion, but the kids LOVED it…there are plenty of rides for wee and bigger ones. Arrive after 5:00 and admission is only $20. Those 3 and under are free) and Wingaersheek Beach (again, if your sleep schedule and general family temperament will accommodate a late-day outing, after 5:00 parking is free and crowds much smaller).
