Tuesday Topics - 5 Activities

The Austin Family Diary

I have been dreading this week, do I pick where I grew up where the big excitement was going to the mall or do I pick where we live now which I am not very familiar with since we moved here in May? So I decided that I am going to list 5 activities that we like to do locally.

 

#1 - Minuteman National Park. Marc and I love walking the battle road trail where the American Revolution started with the "shot heard round the world." There is so much history on these trails. Sadly Violet and I only went once this last summer with friends. I hope to go a lot more this year as it is great exercise on awesome trails. We have also toured Louisa May Alcott's home which I highly recommend to anyone who is in the area.

Let's learn Mama!

#2 - Babies & Books at the Library. Violet loves the story time they have for 2 and under at the library. I love it too because us moms usually stick around after and chat which is always nice.

#3 - Prescott Park. I love Prescott Park, which is near where I grew up. Marc and I were married there in 2008 and my parents were married there in 1979. It has a lot of special memories from my entire life. It is also so pretty with the flowers and fountains.

#4 - Walking the Mall/Play Area. I am so boring but I like walking the mall and taking Violet to play. There is a carousel at the mall and I really want to take her on it, maybe next time we go.
#5 - Zoo. We have only been to the nearest zoo once but I am hoping to get a membership for this summer so I can take Violet a lot. Great exercise and cute animals!

  2. I wish we could get into the story time at the library, but there are SO many moms, you have to register and the wait list is like 30 moms. Those sound like great places

  3. I live in such a small town that we have very little to do. I wish so badly we lived closer to the zoo. Our closest one is an hour and a half away. You are right about the zoo being good exercise and lots of fun for Violet.
