Battleship Cove, Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
When Doug said he wanted to visit Battleship Cove while we were in Massachusetts I have to admit that I really wasn’t that interested. I’m not really into military history. But, being a good wife, I planned a day for us to go. And I am so glad I did; it was amazing. Battleship Cove […]
New England Aquarium, Boston, Massachusetts
The New England Aquarium sits at Central Wharf, directly next to the Boston Marriot Long Wharf Hotel and quite near Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. It’s easy to get to via the blue line (exit Aquarium) or Commuter Boat into Long Wharf. The aquarium opened 40 years ago and I’ve seen some say that it […]
Roisin Dubh (The Black Rose), Boston, Massachusetts
It was our first time in Boston, we “discovered” Roisin Dubh (Gaelic for Black Rose) just a block from Faneuil Hall and fell in love with it! Of course it’s an Irish Pub, which didn’t hurt, but we were always welcomed, the food was consistently good (I recommend the Irish Stew and the fish & […]
The Boston Freedom Trail, Boston, Massachusetts
It is impossible to share the full experience of the Freedom Trail. I hope to provide an inspiring overview for you and urge you to see it for yourself, at least once. It is truly one of the greatest places in our country to grasp an understanding of our forefathers and their passion for our […]
Salem, Massachusetts: More Than Witches
Once in a while traveling with kids and off season can keep you from doing the things a town is famous for. Because, when you think Salem, you think witches. It’s automatic. Kind of like baseball & hot dogs. So when we ventured north of Boston to Salem I fully expected to be taking in […]
Plymouth, Massachusetts: History Comes Alive
Even though Plymouth, Massachusetts was only half an hour from our rental house in Scituate we waited until our time in Massachusetts was almost at an end before visiting. Mainly because Plimoth Plantation didn’t open until the end of March, but more than that, we really wanted some nice, warm weather. Thankfully the Saturday we […]
Our Stay in Scituate, Massachusetts (Boston’s South Shore)
We were lucky enough to be able to accompany my husband to the Boston area while he was working out here. For 9 weeks we lived in a beautiful house just steps from the ocean in Scituate (pronounced sit-U-it). We found Ocean Perch (I just love a house with a name) at HomeAway.com. After seeing […]
Old Sturbridge Village (OSV), Massachusetts, USA
Old Sturbridge Village, often called OSV, is located on Route 20 in west/central Massachusetts, about an hour west of Boston. It’s very easy to get to by taking I-90 (Mass Pike) to exit 9. OSV is what I call a “living history” museum. As soon as you walk through the visitor’s center – which houses […]
Exploring Cohasset, Massachusetts
Cohasset, Massachusetts is a small sea side town which, honestly, won’t take you long to tour if you’re in a car. You may, in fact, end up in Scituate or Hull and not realize it until a sign alerts you. That said, Cohasset is a lovely town and the magnificent sea side homes make a […]
