south of Boston: Rough Point, Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod
Rough Point, Bellevue Avenue at Ocean Drive . Newport . Rhode Island, was one of Doris Duke’s several very private retreats and gives a wonderful glimpse of the Gilded Age in Newport. There are any number of elegant, sprawling "summer cottages" built by the likes of the Vanderbuilts and Astors in Newport, but this one is a particularly precious example of a deliciously opulent period in our history.

Legal sea food is hugely popular.
Durgin park is a boston institution.
The Isabelle Gardner Museum. You will LOVE!
Children’s Museum in Boston.............lots of great museums!
Boston Commons swan boat ride
Have the boys read Make Way for Ducklings? if not, get the book and read it to them and then go to the Boston Commons where you take a swan boat ride and that is where the ducks all live (based on the book). it’s tons of fun.
Special children's tour bus. - A duck or some other character.
Walking Tours - Paul Revere Tour, etc. Just walking around Boston is great.
Sit on the banks of the Charles River and watch the colleges race boats.

Food Recommendation: WOODMAN'S
"it is beautiful with great sand. there is a great place on the way to eat called Woodman’s..........it used to be just a lobster shack with men outside steaming lobsters (???can you eat those) if so, steamed is the ONLY way to eat lobster..........forget stuffed and/or broiled............if not, they have hugely enlarged the place from what I hear and have all sorts of things. At any rate, it was always good food and very casual." - Cheryl
