It’s crazy
to think that only a few months ago we were spending countless hours shoveling
out our driveways and stocking the fireplace, now we are more than half way
done with summer! Even though the month of July is coming to a close, August is
a fantastic month to be in the Boston area. Food festivals, outdoor
performances, nature walks, sporting events, and much more, August is the
perfect month to get up and go! Via Boston-Discovery-Guide.com
