Where should we stay in Boston with kids for July 4th weekend?|129041

We need a pool. We would like to be near attractions if possible.

Kids are 9 and 8 and 2 years old. Thanks you for your advice!

You should stay right outside Boston at a Holiday Inn, or thereis a Radisson in Boston near the theater district that you could stay in.

When I stayed in Boston we were at the Residence Inn at Tudor Wharf. It is adjacent to the Constitution, and a great starting place for the Freedom Trail. The Marriott at Long Wharf is also beautiful, and next to the Aquarium, which on a very hot day is just the thing to do with kids. Make sure you take the Swan-boat ride at the Public Garden. And see the bronze statues of the ducks from the book, _Make Way for Ducklings._ And of course, you will probably enjoy the music and fire works by the Charles River.

In addition to all of the above great answers here are sites to review for information on last years fireworks and this years. Enjoy your stay in Boston. And, welcome.

Try the Sheraton in Back Bay, request a room on a high floor with a view of the Charles River. That way you have a front row view of the fireworks w/o having to deal with the crowd. You can tune the TV in WBZ-4 an listen to the Pops too.

I know the Sheraton has an indoor pool, maybe an outdoor one on a roof too? It_s right in the heart of Back Bay, attached to the Prudential Center.

no matter where you stay, try to go outside on the charles for the fire works because its not the same from inside. theres tons of hotels in copley square with tons of dining and shopping around. also there is frog pond, which is down the road, which is a little kiddie pool about knee deep for adults. its nice, the swan boats are there too. also hop on highway 93 and go straight all the way to cross into NH, take exit 2 .. andd then go down to the ligts and take a right, stay to your left at the next set of lights take a left and go straight and BAM your at canobie lake park =) . HAVE FUN!! welcome to boston

Can my grandparents take my children to US for a vacation without the parents? Any document needed?|118903

My parents-in-law have children living in the Baltimore whom they visit frequently. Since it is summer vacation here in the Philippines, they wanted to visit with my children this time. I worry about the preparations and cost of tickets if they will not be allowed to get into the US with my children. My children are aged 11 and 8 years old.

You should get a Power of Attorney authorizing your parents to travel to and from the United States with your children. You should also get a Special Medical Power of Attorney giving your parents permission to authorize treatment in case of emergency or sickness while they are in the States.

What are some vacation places that have dolphins ?|153307

to where you could ride on them you know how you hold on to the fin and it pulls you?? i think that would be really fun. what are some vacation spots that do that? i no somewheres in Mexico and the Dominican Republic but any places in the united states like the gulf shores or something?

Discovery Cove in Orlando Florida offers that. Although it is very expensive!!! I know that Savannah Ga, has a river tour where you can watch em swim, and it isn_t very pricy. It is at Tybee Island, GA, and I think it is called Bull River Dolphin Tours, but you could find out for sure by looking at Savannah_s Vistior Page. Good Luck!!!!

What are some interesting places in Pittsburgh to visit in March?|120912

I am looking for a Saturday to kill in Pittsburgh in late february or march and I was wondering, Pittsburgh-natives, what are some activities I can do as a teenager to enjoy myself in the Pittsburgh area. Are there any cool traditions that go on in Pittsburgh during March? Thanks

The most important thing to do is try to AVOID the smog _ pollution. It is unbelievable how much crap is spewed into the air here, it is so dense that it travels all the way to the Eastern States and kills and destroys much of their forests and habitat. Acid rain has been a problem there for years but now it is known that most all freshwater fish from natural streams in the Northeast USA are polluted from mercury, so much so that kids and women shouldn_t eat any of it and it is suggested that healthy adult males avoid it as well.
YES, it comes from the plants in the Pittsburgh area pumping their putrid black smoke into our atmosphere.
Additionally, Pittsburgh drinking water supplies have been contaminated with benzene, toluene, vinyl chloride and 22 other chemicals reportedly leached from Dow Chemical plants here. Pittsburg is a TOXIC HOTSPOT! Just type _Pittsburg pollution_ or similar in your browser and see what crops up, it truly is amazing.

Good luck and try to stay healthy

i live in PGH and i would deff recommend the St. Patty_s day parade by market square
