Thanks!
We are going arrive in Boston on August 9th and we'll be flying home on the afternoon of the 12th. Very excited about the trip there as its one of the last major cities in the USA we haven't been.
All I know for sure is we are going to hit the Fenway tour one morning. (The Red Sox aren't in town so its the best we can do) Our room is about half a mile from Fenway according to the maps.
If we can't meet up, no worries, though I'll still take all of the great local advice you can give.
We do plan on walking all over the place. My kids are in good shape and love walking big cities and getting the feel of the town. They walked hundreds of blocks of NYC last time we were there!
I love living close to Houston, but it is an entirely different beast as it is so spread out. Walking and public transportation is limited here. Huge suburbs and driving are the go to modes of getting around, so we always enjoy getting to see a city outside of a vehicle.
