Why travel far for a great day of hiking?!

Since it was so nice out on Monday, I decided to pack a lunch and head out to Blue Hills for a nice hike! Believe it or not, there are lots of different trails to hop on and you can choose to do a short hike or take a little longer and enjoy the scenery. On Monday, they even had the chair lifts running to bring people up and down (I didn't use this, BUT a very nice lady that we passed on the trail gave us a free trip!). The skyline trail was the trail of choice for the day and we spent about 2 hours hiking around. It was great to see all of the families out together and even to see how many dogs were making the trek to the top! We left from the parking lot near the trailside museum, which is also a fun place to take kids! They have a lot of animals outside, some picnic tables, running streams and it's just a cool place for families.
