  • After lunch, drive over to the Hampton Inn Boston/Marlborough and check into your room. Once you’re settled, take the family for an afternoon swim at the stunning indoor hotel pool.

Day 2, Friday:

  • Grab breakfast at Jake’s Restaurant & Coffee Shop where you can enjoy homemade waffles, french toast, pancakes, eggs, and more.
  • After breakfast, make your way to Ward Park in Marlborough. This park offers fun for the whole family with pickleball and tennis courts, a great playground, wading pool for the little ‘uns, and a skate park and BMX trails for the bigger ones!
  • Once you’ve worked up an appetite, pick up a specialty sandwich at Jenny’s Place and drive to Mill Pond Park to enjoy your meal with a breathtaking view. After you’re done eating, walk along the 0.8-mile Riverwalk Trail which consists of a stone dust path, an observation deck, and a bridge along Mill Pond.
