Andrew turned 8 today! And although we had grand plans, they all fell through at the last moment. I was scrambling and LEGOLAND Discovery Center was there to save the day. They made these kids VIPs for the day and they seriously had the BEST time. When we drove home, we talked about what our favorite part was and each kid had a different favorite memory. The ALL loved the VR experience. You have to pay $5 extra but it’s worth it. We had a blast in the 4D theater, the Magic Merlin ride and they spent a good hour and a half building a house with bricks in the play area. There is also a cafe and for $7, you can get a sandwich, drink and side. Just as we were on our way out, they got invited into the Master Builders room to peek at what they are creating. It was a special experience for sure. I’m pretty sure my kids will be working there someday! #lego #legos #legoland #legolanddiscoverycenter #boston #somerville #assemblyrow #assemblyrowsomerville #legomaniac #legocity #legopics #legolife #ldcnewengland #happybirthday #birthdayboy #birthdayboy🎉

Charles Street is easily the most charming neighborhood in Boston. The cobblestone streets, brick houses and lantern-style lights lining the road make you feel as if Paul Revere could ride by any moment shouting about Red Coats. We wandered down the length of Charles Street enjoying all of the little boutique shops all laced with pine garlands for the holidays.⁠⠀

Just stepping into the lobby of the Liberty, it is

Just stepping into the lobby of the Liberty, it is immediately apparent that you have entered the hippest hotel in Boston. It is hard to imagine that it housed some of Boston's most notorious criminals for 120 years. But don't worry, they had a Feng Shui expert clear all of the bad energy out of the place.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Since we visited during the holidays, there were several upside down Christmas trees hanging from the central atrium which is a staggering 90 feet high.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It is impressive how much of the original building has been preserved. Catwalks line the outskirts of the lobby. The former exercise yard, is now a landscaped courtyard (although, in sticking with the theme, it is still called The Yard).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love the jailhouse theme throughout, but those city views just can't be beat.⁠⠀

I tried to do that whole minimalism thing and only own a few good quality pieces of clothing. The down side to that is when one of you kids puts a bunch of crayons in their pocket and you don’t notice until AFTER you open the dryer and every article of clothing is now rainbow 🌈 So I’m just going to keep looking at this cute mischievous little face and tell myself that it’s just stuff and it doesn’t matter. She will be even more colorful now. #daughter #daughterlove #love #family #babygirl #momlife #motherhood #girl #princess #children #mygirl #motherdaughter #blessed #happiness #toddler #toddlerlife #familytime #parenting #mylove #mama #mydaughter #memories #motheranddaughter #loverher

Ah, this picture came up in my memories today. This was us 10 years ago, before we had kids. We look so young and... well rested! I traded all that in for bags under my eyes, a few extra rolls and three beautiful children that make it all worth it :) #beforekids #lifebeforekids #beforekidsafterkids #beforekidsbody #beforekidshappened #familytravel #love

Travel back in time to see what an authentic New England town looked like in Historic Deerfield. You can walk down the streets on your own, or purchase a ticket to go on a house tour and attend a live demonstration. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The Wells-Thorn House and Williams House are recommended for families with children. We enjoyed walking the Channing Blake Footpath and meeting the local cows.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
At the Apprentice’s Workshop in the Dwight House we watched a wood working demonstration to see how furniture was made. My son made an English ceramic and tried his hand on a loom. There is also a great children’s play space in the History Workshop.⁠⠀
