When it comes to having a witching good time in the month of October, look no further than the New England city of the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. The history of Salem is undeniably alluring, and during the Halloween season, Salem’s wicked past is highly celebrated.

When we figured out that Harvard, the Harvard, was only one stop away, the first time we rode the Red Line on the T in Boston, Massachusetts, we knew it was time for our kids first college visit!

Legends of America’s Past: Tales & Tombstones Haunted Trolley Ride with Kids, in Salem, Massachusetts
Catherine - 0
Salem, Massachusetts didn’t prove to be quite what we expected. During our trip to Boston, we carved out a day to spend touring the most iconic Halloween destination in America. Rather than festive Halloween celebrations, however, we found little more than a torture chamber of silliness. While we infinitely enjoyed learning about the history of Salem, and touring the...

Catherine - 0
My very first job, at 16 years old, was at See’s Candies in Portland, Oregon at the Lloyd Center Mall. I loved it so much I transferred to the store in Orem, Utah during college, and when Gabriel and I were married came back to my job at Lloyd Center. Eating bon bons all day? That's the life. Especially,...

Historical Duck Tour of Boston, Massachusetts With Kids: In World War II Amphibious DUKW Vehicles
Catherine - 0
While touring the Kuranda rainforest in Cairns, Australia (post coming soon) we had our first encounter with the DUKW. This is an amphibious vehicle that puts the all terrain, in all terrain. DUKW is not an acronym, like you might think, it’s actually the manufacturer's factory serial letters. This bad boy can cover any swath of land you throw...
Boston is one of the most easily navigable cities we’ve ever been to. The T system covers a lot of ground, hits all the major points of interest and is conveniently accessible.

Stopping for Ice Cream at the Cookie Monstah Food Truck: A Tale of Two Ice Cream Sandwiches | Kids Version
Catherine - 0
It was on our Duck Tour that I first spotted the Cookie Monstah food truck in Boston Commons, and I knew I just had to have it. The clever moniker for a name, the idea of freshly baked cookies, imagining the Cookie Monster devouring cookies after his own name; these reasons all topped the list of why I convinced...

King’s Chapel and Burying Ground with Kids: Stop #5 & #6 on the Freedom Trail in Boston, Massachusetts
Catherine - 0
Going to church in the King's Chapel is like flying first class in a private suite on a fancy airplane. This is the way to do church. Rather than sitting in long rowed pews, you have a designated pew; and not just a pew but a square cushioned cubicle. We can just imagine how much more pleasant church would...
