Day at the Zoo

June 29, 2020

Day at the Zoo

Last week E and I went to visit the zoo for the first time in a while. The two zoos near us in MA (Franklin Park Zoo in Boston and Stone Zoo in Stoneham) recently reopened, with some new health and safety rules in place due to coronavirus. I was a little nervous about how many people might actually be there, even with the timed tickets (to help control capacity), but I was really happy with our experience! Stone Zoo or Franklin Park Zoo? I chose to visit the Stone Zoo because they have …

Maine Family Vacation

August 29, 2019

Maine Family Vacation

I last vacationed in Maine around the age of 10, so it had been a hot minute. But I found a new appreciation for Kennebunkport when we visited in August with my family! My dad has been trying to make a family vacation happen for a while (aside from our normal summer trips to the Cape), so we were all pretty psyched when this worked out. Granted, my older sister had a baby the prior week and was unable to join us for our Maine vacation, we're still counting it a win! I was hoping for nice …

Our Harvard Square Staycation

Our Harvard Square Staycation

When we initially talked about our renovation (and living with our families), we also talked about taking a staycation here and there. I don't know why we haven't until now, but last weekend we stayed in Harvard Square (in Cambridge, just outside of Boston). It was so needed, and I want to plan another soon! We chose to stay at The Charles Hotel, one of our favorite spots. (When T and I first met, it was at a work event at The Charles. Our first date was just down the street at a …

Where to Go: Weekend on Cape Cod

July 3, 2019

Where to Go: Weekend on Cape Cod

I went to the mid-Cape (that's Cape Cod) every summer pretty much my entire life, so it's always fun to get back when I can! It seems like more and more people are visiting the Cape every year, so today I'm sharing some of my favorite spots. Bookmark this for your potential future trips. If you aren't sure where to stay on the Cape, it comes down to a few different factors. If you're taking public transportation, like the ferry from Boston to P-town, that's very different from driving …

Boston City Guide

June 4, 2019

Boston City Guide

Boston is by far one of my favorite cities. I don't know what it is about it, but as much time as I spend here, I am constantly discovering something new! Here are some of my favorite things to do in the Boston area (and some outside the city, too). Where to eat and drink Beignets at Buttermilk and Bourbon, a New Orleans-inspired restaurant Cider donuts (seasonal, available in the fall) in Boston Public Market, where you can also get some really pretty flowers, fresh vegetables, …
