Visit Boston: Southwest Corridor Park's Train Park

Southwest Corridor Park is a 4.1 mile park that runs alongside the train station.  An aptly named Train Park is home to a playground (one of eleven playgrounds in Southwest Corridor Park), and we stopped there one morning.

The cold weather did not deter the kids (or at least two of them, anyway) from enjoying themselves.

It was a fairly small playground, but there was enough equipment for the kids to have fun on - slides, swings, and more.

Visit Boston: Tikki Masala

I love Indian food, and fortunately, while in Boston, there were several Indian restaurants nearby our airbnb.  We ended up going to Tikki Masala to get my Indian food fix.

Tikki Masala Bread Basket

 The Bread Basket included naan, garlic naan, poori, and roti.

Chicken Tikka Masala

I usually get Chicken Tikka Masala whenever I dine at Indian restaurants, and this did not disappoint!  The tomato sauce was aromatic and just so fkavorful, and the chicken was tender.

Fish Curry

Lamb Vindaloo

We ordered all the dishes "mild" because of the kids, and everything was just delicious. 

Despite having gone to Indian restaurants numerous times in Hawaii, this was the first time my kids actually enjoyed Indian food.  They couldn't get enough of the different dishes and the breads. 

Service was very friendly, and I was delighted with the meal.

Visit Boston: Bella Luna & The Milky Way

Our airbnb host suggested Bella Luna & The Milky Way as a great place for pizza, so we decided to check it out! 

I originally intended to just share salad and pizza with my husband, but when I saw poutine on the menu, I just had to order it.  I LOVE poutine!

Bella Poutine

The Bella Poutine included truffled fries, smoked cheddar cheese curds, bacon gravy, and aioli.  So good!

Kale Caesar

The Kale Caesar was really good as well.  I loved the tangy lemon caesar dressing!

The Latin Quarter and The Fun Guy

The original pizza we ordered was a special of the day, and one of the ingredients was no longer available, so we ended up getting The Latin Quarter (chicken, avocado, cheddar, bacon, jalapeno) and The Fun Guy (garlic oil, wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, gorgonzola, mozzarella, truffle oil).  Between the two, I liked The Fun Guy so much more.  I love mushrooms and onions! 

A kids menu is offered.  Drinks are included.

Kids Rice Bowl

Kids Macaroni & Cheese

Bella Luna & The Milky Way was a great recommendation!
