Winter in Quincy Market

Nothing beats holiday shopping in Quincy Market. I spent a great night there with carolers & a light snowfall this winter. Just amazing!

Favorite Boston Sight

Sam Adams Brewery is my favorite landmark. The tours are fun, and they give you free beer.

Too Hard to Pick One!

My dad went to MIT and we've toured Boston with him twice. I love visiting the restaurants he ate at as a starving college student (Durgin-Park is one...my son got a huge kick out of their "Your grandfather probably ate here" slogan, because his did!) and the Paulist Center where he went to church. I also love Boston's old graveyards - Dad took us to so many of them! - I am now our family historian and really appreciate the stories I find in cemeteries. Seeing the gravesites of people who lived before the Revolutionary War is an amazing experience for me. I also love the Charles River - my dad learned to sail on the river and he taught my kids to sail there, too. Standing on the dock, it's easy to imagine Paul Revere watching the British ships pull in to anchor. It's also fun to see the bridge that was made famous by MIT student Oliver Smoot - it's the Mass. Ave. Bridge - definitely look up the story if you're not familiar with it! So very, very MIT...
