I am doing some of my posts out of order but I am trying to catch up on some of our summer activities before we head further into fall!
In mid-July, we took a trip to Massachusetts. The flight was about 3.5 hours from DFW to Boston, which made it Lochlan's longest flight to date. We flew JetBlue, which was so wonderful. (I wish they would expand their offerings from DFW!) I had been worried about whether Lochlan would fuss on the flight but he did pretty well. We had lots of snacks, books, little toys (if you are ever taking a toddler on a plane, definitely bring a mini-slinky!) and of course, our iPad. Lochlan's favorite app is called Paint Sparkles and it will settle him down anytime he is rowdy!
We spent the first day of our trip in Boston itself, before heading out to Cape Cod. While in Boston, we met up with one of my college roommates, Marie, her husband Dan, and their two-year-old daughter Rita. Marie and I haven't gotten to see each other a whole lot since graduating Vassar, so it is always good when we can catch up. She and Dan were actually finishing a week in Cape Cod themselves and we were happy that our trips to MA overlapped by a day!
We decided to take the kiddos to Boston Children's Museum. I LOVE children's museums in general so this was an easy choice. The museum has a unique layout and each floor is packed with activities that will appeal to kids of different ages. Our toddlers were pretty interested in the bubble making section where they got very soapy! We also took them to another floor that had a special area for kids under three. There were slides, cars, bead mazes, play kitchens, and lots of other fun things for toddlers. Lochlan seemed kind of oblivious of Rita but he was excited to run around and explore the museum.
We will definitely return to this museum again on future trips to MA!
