Day 4: Natick and Framingham After several days of travel in the car, we planned one day where we wouldn’t have to sit in gridlocked traffic entering the city. Since our hotel was in a suburb of Boston we set out to explore the surrounding area. Our discoveries led us to a very nice mallContinue reading “Family Adventures in Boston (Part 3)”

Family Adventures in Boston (Part 2)
Day 3: Boston On the east coast, you can’t drive five miles without running into a Dunkin’ Doughnuts. So after our first night in Boston we loaded up our rental car and made a pit stop at Dunkin’ Doughnuts before heading into the city. The night before, we purchased ferry tickets to Spectacle Island fromContinue reading “Family Adventures in Boston (Part 2)”

As a family, we loaded up the car for the final time this winter and made the most of the four hour drive over two state borders and through several mountains. The landscape was beautiful throughout ourContinue reading “Road Trip to Pittsburgh”
A Lesson in Spontaneity
I’m not a spontaneous person. Creating lists and plans are part of my coping mechanisms. When I’m stressed I rely on my bullet journal to get me through. I start each day knowing what needs to be accomplished and I develop plans for getting it all done. This weekend, our family was on the wayContinue reading “A Lesson in Spontaneity”
