Today we went to the Boston Museum of Fine Art and to Harvard Square. I bought so many books at the Harvard Coop and thankfully they ship so I did not have to drag them around all day! We ate more Italian in the North End and stopped at Modern Pastries for some cannoli. If you are ever in the North End...I cannot strongly recommend enough making the time to go to Neptune House for a lobster roll. OMG!

My son lives on the South Shore and loves it ! He has only been there about 4 years but would not move any where else. Even after last winter. I think he finds all of that stuff exciting. On one of my visits there, he took me to walk around Harvard and Harvard Square. I loved the JFK Museum and Library. Now if I could convince my dd and her family to move there, I would in a heartbeat.

I love everything about Mass!! Well, except the drivers!! It's seriously taking your life in your own hands while driving up there!!  They call em "massholes" for a reason! Lol I really hate that we have this reputation. I am a good driver and am kind and considerate...most of the time anyway! |

Personally I find New Hampshire drivers as bad if not worse than Mass drivers.
I have lived here 20 years and love it! Well, last winter was a doozie, but other than that I have no complaints.

Sorry for more updates! Today we went on a Segway tour of Boston and had a blast! After that, we took a tour of Fenway and shopped at Newbury Comics and had lunch near Boston Common. For dinner, we found a small Italian restaurant off the beaten path in the North End and then after that we ended up listening to live music in the North End Common which is right next to Paul Revere's house. We did that for awhile then found our way over to Vito's Tavern for a a few drinks. We stopped by at Bova's Bakery for some bread and cookies on our way back to our VRBO. I have fallen in love with the energy of the North End! Boston Proper is awesome. My husband and I are seriously considering moving here in a few years.

I love that Boston has a definite identity. This town has history and is so incredibly proud of who they are and what they represent. The heritage and history lives and breathes within it's citizens. Thank you Boston for an incredible vacation. I hope to return very soon!

I love the north end. I took a food tour of the north end a few years ago and it was awesome. We went into many shops, had taste tests of their wares, and got a history lesson all at the same time.
I have a membership to the MFA -- I have a few favorites, but I always find something new every time I go. Those Fenway Park tours are really well done, too.
My 17-yo son drives all over Boston. He's usually there twice a week for music rehearsals and lessons. He's really good at it -- to the point that I have him drive if we're both going.
I'm so glad you had a great time here!!
