Family Vacation: Massachusetts!

Day 1: Roadtrip!

  After many trips up north we finally have the timing perfect. And by perfect I mean getting on the road at 3AM! How we have so much energy, so early is beyond me. It's amazing that with a 7 year old and a dog we only had to stop twice...and even cut two hours off our trip. Leaving at 3 is totally the way to go - getting to Massachusetts at a normal hour, eating dinner with the family and getting to bed at a normal time is a great way to start vacation!!

Day 2: Boston!

We wasted no time having fun! We drove into Boston for a day of site seeing and Boston history. We started with the Tall Ships..and while we were there I ran into my aunt and uncle, out of all the people there, I spotted them right away! Next we jumped on the Freedom Trail and learned all about Boston's North End - I love that Kaleb loves learning about History! We even stopped by Faneuil hall Hall to check out the street performers. Such a fun day!

Later that night the family got together for my cousin Alyssa's surprise 10th birthday party. Less than a week earlier her brother was born, so we wanted to make sure she didn't feel forgotten! There were a bunch of kids, food and laughs!

Me and my 94 year old great-grandmother!

 Day 3: 4th of July!

We spent the fourth having a great cookout at everyone's favorite cousins house (I also call him Danny's boyfriend!) Kaleb had so much fun in the pool, he even perfected his flips! Cornhole was played, special cocktails were drank (drunk?) and everyone had fun! Danny says this was his favorite day of vacation!

Day 4: Batting Cages

Thursday was the first day we woke up with no plans. So, we did what we do best - wing it! My sister joined us for a picnic lunch with subs from my faaaaaavorite place. Then we ended up at the most random place - the boys did batting cages, me and Michelle practiced our golf swing (I suck!) and we ate a ton of ice cream. I'd say it was a pretty successful day!

 

Massachusetts was such a great start to our vacation. Can you believe we still had 10 days of fun after this! I can't wait to share the rest with you!
