Massachusetts

Let me just start by saying Massachusetts is a really hard word to spell… Our stay in Massachusetts was in Sturbridge, at Sturbridge Encore RV Resort.  The name makes it sound much fancier than it was.  It was not our favourite park.  Luckily they had a couple of options for us to choose from as far as setting up the rv and we opted to be farther away from the crowded parking spots.  Also, there was no Wifi…we have been spoiled at most of the parks we have stayed at so far.  Eric uses the park Wifi to work if he can and we often need internet connection for school stuff that we are working on.  The kids have also  been using an online app called Duolingo to work on their French every day.  Anyways, it is nice when we have park Wifi.  This place did have an indoor pool that was open though, so the kids were very excited that they got to swim again.

While we were in Massachusetts, we took a day trip into Boston.  This time we took a commuter train in which was a nice way to get into the city.  While we were there we did a lot of walking.  We explored an old graveyard where John Hancock and Paul Revere were buried, we rode on the subway which was so full that we had to squish ourselves in to get the doors to shut, we went to a famous pastry shop called Mike’s Pastry and got a treat for everyone.  We stopped at one of the oldest pubs in Boston; the Green Dragon and had some dinner and tried a slice of Boston cream pie.

Probably the best part of the day for the kids was walking through Boston Gardens where there were squirrels so tame that they would come right up to you and eat out of your hand.  They would have stayed there all day if they could have.
