we have become pros at getting last-minute-cheap-really-great-seats to the red sox games.

because, husband watches the prices plummet on stub hub when the weather reports rain.

lucky for us, the sox still play when it rains!

nancy, my life-saving-sister-in-law who drove across the country twice for us this summer…

yes, TWICE.

she totally deserved a night out to a game after her second arrival.

and, rain was in the forecast.

not only rain, but a hurricane!

i’m sure i’ll post about this all the time…

i continued my little adventures with these two. after nahant beach, we took a day trip to the cape. that’s what the locals call ‘cape cod.’

it’s a 90-minute drive from our house, with literally dozens of beaches to choose from. for our first time there, we chose ‘craigville beach,’ and i promised the kiddos we’d stay all day till sunset. this is more of what i imagine the hamptons to be like, not to offend either one, because i haven’t been to the hamptons yet – i loved all the umbrellas spotting the beach.

my little beach man was instantly in the water with his boogie board.

he’s not such a fan of craigville,

…thanks to katie {again!!!} we discovered nahant beach.
it takes thirty minutes to drive from our front door to this sun-loved-destination.

do you know what i love best about a good beach?

when my toes are in the sand, and the sun is hot on my skin, i feel still and peaceful and so very carefree. it’s good…that thoughtless state of relaxation that must come periodically to recharge our senses.

my little beach-lovin’-son really likes this place,
i could listen to him and my girls laughing in the salt air,

is this the most adorable welcome-to-a-new-city-package you’ve ever seen???

katie has graced my blog a few times over the years, and this time she’s gone the extra mile for the honorable mention!

soon after we arrived here in boston, we received this:

if you look closely, she has included a “boston mix cd” because katie is a true music guru + a welcome letter filled with love & positive support on our big adventure PLUS twelve envelopes each filled with local-advice on daily activities and what-to-do’s around boston.

i was so moved by katie’s package + the time she invested to make it for us –

while kiana was at girls camp & myla was in the philippines with big papi… these two munchkins and i played-played-played. i literally just stopped unpacking & simply enjoyed summer for a few days. it was so nice.

first stop: the boston chidren’s museum.

this museum sits right downtown on the boston harbor, and has so much to offer, we also chose year memberships so we can re-visit over and over again.

the museum of science sits right over the charles river in boston.

it’s hu-mongous, and filled with endless exhibits to entertain kids, and adults. we made our first visit in july, and purchased a family membership for the year. so, we will be returning many, many, many times.

lately i’ve been thinking about all the planning, and work that has gone in to our little “bahston” adventure…

and i am exhausted thinking about it! ::smiles::

no, really. i think about how my friend jennifer said recenlty, “nothing worthwhile in life comes easy.”

we started planning this “adventure” at least 18 months ago –
