Family Vacation

This summer we took a long time deciding where to go on our family vacation.. we were thinking east coast but we weren't sure whether to go to PEI or to Maine. Friends had told us how great Santa's Village in North Conway, New Hampshire was so we decided literally the day before we left to had to Boston, then to Old Orchard Beach, Maine and then to Santa's Village.

Boston is a great city. Lots to see and do. Some of the highlights were visiting the Boston Public Gardens where you could travel by Swan boats, visiting Fenway Park, the aquarium, and Cheers Bar!





Driving up the coast of Maine was beautiful. Tons of little beach towns on the ocean. We stayed in Old Orchard Beach which is a touristy spot with a pier with amusement rides etc. Tony loved the lobster rolls and I loved the frozen banana!





We then headed to North Conway, which was a let down. The hotel was great and steps from a huge outlet but there weren't any good deals and I really had nothing to buy. However, Santa's Village was AWESOME!!! If you haven't taken your kids, you should! It was very well kept, the rides were all age appropriate, there was a water park, a wonderful visit with Santa, and the most exciting part for my boys were meeting the real reindeer!



So now that the family vacation is over.... on to this
