I lived in Boston a few summers ago, and one of the (many) highlights was going to the
Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl
all-you-can-eat ice-cream festival. It's great because you pay $7 to get in, and then you get to eat ice cream from
lots of different companies. I know some of my friends tried to eat every flavor....though I wouldn't recommend that....Anyway, the other good part about that is proceeds go to the
Jimmy Fund, a cancer philanthropy.
Let's see....another good event you shouldn't miss is the
4th of July Celebration. It's a pretty big deal...roads are blocked off, lots of police, concerts, good stuff...my favorite part is watching the fireworks, which are synchronized with the Boston Pops performance. You can tune into the radio and listen along if you're not right at the
Hatch Shell. And really, the Hatch Shell is a great place to catch
free concerts and such...
I'm sure I'll think of more events...I think I'll eventually blog about my NEW JOB as soon as I find out how much I'm allowed to talk about...
Happy Memorial Day!
