Boston, Mass – Fall in New England. Gotta love it.
Museum of Fine Arts
Boston, Mass – This fall we have become regulars at Monday Playdates at the Museum of Fine Arts. (As I wrote before, I used to go on artist dates, now I go on playdates, it’s all good.) So far, the…
Legoland Discovery Center
Somerville, Mass – I know I like to go on and on about how artsy and edgy and independent Somerville is. But this week, this happened. And we are beyond excited. Somerville city officials are so stoked that they all…

North Point Park
Cambridge, Massachusetts – I underestimated how hot it was when we left the house this morning. We made an outing to my favorite park, North Point Park in Cambridge, to scoot along the river and watch the trains going in…
