(This is a repeated blog. I thought I hadn't posted this trip, but apparently I did. Check out: "Who's Got the Paine or just re-read and enjoy) We had the fortunate chance to meet up with our oldest son's classmate in Boston. His classmate's father is a Bostonian and we decided to head to the
Boston Museum of Science and then to walk the Freedom Trail with the kids. This was a great way for the kids to experience history. There are walking tours that you can take; however, we had our own guide decided to forego the paid tours.There is a wonderful website that you can use in sync with your smartphone of the
Freedom Trail that will offer all the history you need as you arrive at each landmark.

The Museum of Science is located in Science Park. It's an easy ride there via train or bus. The day we went MBTA was renovating the Science Park train station and so notices from the Museum and various postings throughout the train stations stated how MBTA would provide us with a bus to connect with the museum at its nearest train station. It was all very easy.
On another day, our friends invited us to their family summer home in Little Compton. We have never been there and found out it was just Rhode Island (about 1.5 hr away from Boston proper). It was a gorgeous getaway that reminds me a little of Martha's Vineyard. What fun we had that day kayaking (clear bottom kayak), boogie boarding at the nearby beach, looking at the many lobster traps and the beautiful sunset. We were very grateful to have been invited to such a lovely place for some relaxing fun.
