New Adventures

This Gentry family is always looking for something fun and new to do, although we have found some things that we love to do repeatedly at this point as well.  
We have had a few new adventures this summer that we have really enjoyed. Recently we went to Hingham, MA to World's End Reservation.  It is $6 an adult to visit.  It has a kid friendly hike that is 3 miles round trip and you end up with a view of Boston like this.  There is also ocean where you can swim; we saw a lot of kayaks launch from here as well.  It is a beautiful spot and a nice hike for a younger family.  The view is absolutely amazing!

 We visited with some friends we made at the UofU alumni BBQ earlier this summer, our schedules finally aligned so we could hang out.  They live in Plymoth, MA so this was a place we could meet in the middle.  They have a cute boy named Lucious who is Berkeley's age and have a 3 month old baby girl as well.  Perfect, except they are moving to the West Coast in November.  I hate when friends move, it is my least favorite thing.
 If you do this trip bring sun screen, bug spray, water and a swim suit. We were not really prepared but swam in our undies (well, some of us) and had a great time regardless.

Christian and Berkeley also went to Battleship Cove recently while I was working.  It is the world's largest navel ship exhibit and is located in Fall River, MA.  The pictures look amazing and Christian and Berkeley both loved it!  It is home to the USS Massachusetts, the USS Joseph P. Kenned, Jr and the Submarine Lionfish.  Berkeley loved climbing all over the ship, pretending to shoot the guns. 
 Christian spent 1/2 a day there and said it really is something you could look at a full 8 hour day.  He felt there was so much to see and he only got to see a little bit of it.  He highly recommends visiting.  It is a bit of a drive, but if you loves ships, planes and helicopters it may be worth the trip.
