Happy Monday friends! Another wonderful summer weekend gone by way too fast, but I think we’re being rewarded with amazing weather! This weekend gave me a great idea for the next part of my “Boston Series” with date ideas in the city! These are great if you live around Boston or if you’re visiting for a weekend and looking for something fun to do with your significant other! Two previous series posts are Boston During the Day and Best Brunch Spots in Boston!
Picnic in the Park || This one’s easy! Get a pizza, pick up your favorite sandwich or you could even pick up sushi to go (my favorite) and eat it at the park! I really should get a picnic basket and try to make it a little bit more festive! My favorite parks for this are the public garden & anywhere on the esplanade!
South End Chocolate Tour|| A couple years ago Gary & I took this tour and had the best afternoon walking and tasting chocolate from restaurants and stores in the South End. I did a full review that you could read here, but if you’re a fan of chocolate and want to see one of the best neighborhoods in the city, then this is a fun afternoon!
Boston Wine Tour|| Similar to the chocolate walking tour, we did a walking tour with City Wine Tours and had the best time in a smaller group setting. At the time there were only a couple of neighborhoods to choose from, but now they have so many other possibilities. We went with the Back Bay & were excited to learn that each stop had a little food for us to sample as well – probably smart you’d want to carb load us before sending us to the next stop!
Paddle Boats on the Charles || If it’s a nice day, the paddle boats are so much fun!! Pack some water because it’s a workout!! Funny story for this little date that Gary planned – we were both pretty excited to get out there in the paddles and then I realized we had to paddle back – let’s just say it took twice as long and poor Gary had more of a workout than he was expecting!
Castle Island & the Beach || Since Boston is on the coast, we are surrounded by water, so when you want to head for the beach you can actually venture to South Boston’s Castle Island which is a great little day date escape. Just keep in mind, it’s a city beach so it’s rocky!
Blue Man Group || This show is worldwide now, but there is a set theater here in Boston where they perform and this is such a fun date night idea! Located in the theater district you could always have a dinner before the show! Fun tip – you can get reduced tickets for the day of the show at a couple of ticket booths in the city – one is in Faneuil Hall and the other is right next to the Boston Public Library, just go early in the day so that you can get tickets!
Red Sox Game || So baseball is not even close to my favorite sport, but I’m always up for a date to Fenway Park! You don’t even have to spent a ton on the tickets to get a good view, but you must get one of the Fenway Franks – they are specially made only for Fenway Park!
Gary and I are always up for exploring, so I’m interested to know what you favorite thing to do on a date where you live? What about when you’re on vacation?

All these things sound like so much fun! Visiting the breweries around the city are always something fun to do in St. Louis! And my brother and sister in law always do food tours with her family when they are in town – such a great way to explore and eat yummy food!
More goodness to bookmark for when Mr. Nine and I head your way someday! We LOVE breweries sdn paddle boats..so fun! Hope your weekend was spectacular!! Happy Monday!
What a fun series and I love all these ideas! I have always wanted to do a picnic in the park. Now, it's way too hot in DC so we will have to wait until fall! Happy Monday!

I'm so glad we got to see a Red Sox game while we were in Boston. Looks like we had somewhat similar seats to yours in the photo. The wine tour and Castle island sound really fun too!
All these are so great. I love Boston (and Norwoord where my aunt lives) so many great things to do there. I may borrow this idea for a post about the Caribbean if you don't mind 🙂
These posts always make me want to jump on a plane and head to Boston! I love your must do's!! Can't wait to make them all a reality!

I've never been to Boston, but now I want to go!! Have a great Monday!!
So many fun things to do! I feel like even if you aren't a Red Sox fan, you have to at least go to Fenway! And I want that ice cream, it looks so amazing! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

What awesome ideas! I particularly love the wine tour, picnic in the park, and paddle boat ideas. I love Boston so much and hope to be back soon!
I feel like we'd try to make it to Fenway Park all the time if we could, especially since it's such a historical ball park! And yes to wine and chocolate tours! That would be my perfect date in the city!
So many great ideas!! A date at Fenway is always fun unless you go with someone who isn't a Redsox fan, then, well, it can be quite interesting! haha
Boston is such a beautiful and historic city. I wish I still lived on the East coast so I could take my hubby!
I think I've said this before, but I always want to visit Boston after you share posts like these! Visiting Fenway is on my bucket list, and that chocolate tour sounds right up our alley. You're so lucky to live in a fun city!
I used to live and work just outside of Boston, and these posts make me miss it SO much!!! There's not much better than a summer day in Boston!
Chocolate tour?! Yes, please! That would be my idea of a good date. My hubby would totally go for the baseball game. 😉

A chocolate tour?! Shut your mouth!!!! That will be first on my list if we ever head your way!!
Kellen has never been to Boston, so it's on our bucket list and this post is perfect! I'm really hoping to get him there in the next few years. A wine tour would totally be top of our list!
I keep looking at your sprinkle cone picture and that's all I can think about!
Such a fun list and I love that you could do most of these almost anywhere! I could totally include the kids in some of them since it's hard to think of fun new things to do with them!
Sprinkle pic = yes please! Love this list – seriously, I'm coming up! 🙂
