I had been bugging Rusty for a few days to take an NYC road trip. As we were driving home from Cape Ann I could tell he was tired and not up for a 3.5 hour road trip with the kids. He suggested that I go by myself. I was tempted, but unsure if I…
With the rain finally gone, we decided to head North for a beach day on Cape Ann. The day was still pretty windy, so we decided to head to a lighthouse and hope the weather improved before we got to the beach.. It was called Eastern Point Lighthouse and had a fun little jetty to…
Admittedly, I haven’t been running too often since we’ve ben here. Josh was afraid for me to leave them alone the first two weeks when Rusty wasn’t here, so I snuck off early a few morning to squeeze some miles in, but I felt pretty guilty about it. As he’s been here longer and feels…
It was forecast to rain for most of the day, but luckily the Children’s museum does $1 admission on Friday nights. It wasn’t the typical way to spend the 4th of July, and it was pretty darn fun. But first up was breakfast at the Deluxe Town Diner in Watertown. This place got rave reviews…
With Hurricane Arthur looming, Boston made the decision to hold the Boston Pops Firework Spectacular on the 3rd. We had all been waiting for this day and could not wait to celebrate our country in Boston, “the cradle of liberty.” We, and about a half million other people, went to the Banks of the Charles…

We hit the road on Thursday, July 3rd and headed down to Plymouth. What a fun little adventure that was! I’m going to let Halle’s journal post tell you what we did. One funny story—The Native American tribe that lived in Plymouth were the Wampanoag people. Blake came home and was telling Rusty all about…
Hello, July. Thank you for bringing almost unbearable heat and humidity with you. Thank you very much. We all didn’t have another hot, humid sight seeing day in us, so we took a day to head back to Boston Common and cool off at the Frog Pond. This is an ice staking rink in the…
We finally finished up the Freedom Trail! And these were two of our favorite stops. Halle has been excited to climb the Bunker Hill Monument since she saw pictures of it in a guide book awhile back. We all wanted Rusty to come with us, so we waited until he got off work and then…
