I attended an event at the Foundry after work, which started with food in a cocktail setting before moving into a presentation. The space was long and well decorated, which was fine for the attendees to chat among themselves as they snacked and sipped. But the space wasn't the most conducive with the stage at one end. I wonder if their sound system could have been hooked up to enable everyone to hear from even the further edge. The bathroom was shared, with little private toilet rooms surrounding public sinks. Too bad we ran out of paper towels.

The Pick up started at Marina Bay at 9:30 am and the two Motor Coach's were already waiting for all of us members to board these beautiful and comfortable buses! Grace and Glen were on board to check us all in and make sure we were all seated and ready for our adventure to a LUNCHEON at QUONSET O CLUB, and a RHODE ISLAND & NEWPORT HARBOR CRUISE today August 11,2026! This adventurous journey had the best weather possible and once we arrived for our Luncheon we were escorted to the main dining room that was beautifully designed and each table with white linen tablecloths and set up perfectly for us! The staff quickly and methodically managed to deliver our meals with precision! Starting with Salad and bread and then the main course of Chicken or Fish then Dessert of Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Chip Vanilla ice cream and coffee! The meal was truly delicious! The Staff worked very hard to accommodate all of us together! Once being fed, off to the Harbor Cruise excursion! We all boarded and off we went on this magnificent cruise! Our Tour guide on the microphone gave us details and folklores about the 10 most picturesque Lighthouses on this 30 mile water journey! Which took approximately 2 hours! Past 10 islands, Mansions, Fort Adams , Newport Bridge, and the many over a million Dollar Yachts docked at Newport Marina! The wind whipping but no one cared! The sights from the water gave you a different perspective if on land! I cannot tell you that this day trip was magical and very memorable! Thank you Kennedy Center!

There's a visitor center, where they have clippings of flowers that are labeled for easy identification and appreciation. Also throughout the arboretum are little plaques identifying flora. We went up to see the view of Boston from Peter's Hill and walked alongside the blooming mountain laurel bushes. Walkable paths are asphalt or wood chips. We saw a wild turkey, several robins, and occasional people. Super glad we explored this wondrous place!

It's been quite some time since i stopped by the arboretum. As a kid my grandma and mother used to…read moretake us there and take photos in the summer. I have some very good child memories here. They used to have hedge? Carvings of animals and stuff which was super cool. Didn't see that today but not sure, we didn't have time to check the whole arboretum. I think this place is so cool, there's families walking, roller blading, skating, biking etc dog walking you name it. It's clean in there so please keep it that way if visiting. There are ample signs of the types of trees, plants, and different zones. Porta potty available on the paths, resting chairs, benches and even spreads for a picnic. Friend had his wedding there not long ago. Easy commute from Forrest Hills train station on the orange line and walk up the street. Multiple gates to go in from, but main gate closed to cars at 4pm i think. The arboretum is closed at dusk. Beautiful walk on a beautiful day.

AMC has outstanding outdoor rock climbing and ice climbing programs…read more I first started climbing in the gym with friends in Sydney, Australia. "When the route is so clearly marked in the nice, warm gym," I thought, "why would I ever want to climb outdoors?" Luckily, I worked with climbing legend Will Crowther who put up some of the first routes in New Hampshire and he and his wife Nancy convinced me I wanted to do the AMC outdoor climbing class. Nancy even took me shoe and harness shopping so I could be safe, yet comfortable all day. The rock climbing course is wonderfully comprehensive, covering what one needs to know, as well as good "worst case scenario" techniques. The instruction happens on four mandatory weekends and often one optional weekend, depending where Easter falls. The first weekend covers climbing basics with rope, harness, and belay safety. In addition to the practice, practice, practice of tying the knots, belaying, and communicating, climbers can also learn the old fashioned ways of climbing safely in case one loses their harness or belay device. These bowline-on-a-coil and body-belay techniques are then useful if one goes on to the ice climbing course. The second weekend covers getting down the rock with three different techniques for rappelling, including body-rappel, in case you lose your belay device. The third weekend covers getting up a rope, if you're stuck. The fourth weekend is a chance to test all the previous three weekends of knowledge, including practicing catching a simulated leader fall. This last weekend is also a way for the experienced climbers to see how well the newbies have learned the ropes, i.e., are they ready for New Seconds Weekend climbing at The Gunks. And then for those who love being outdoors in the winter as well, AMC has a comprehensive ice climbing program. Again, instruction covers multiple weekends so one can practice self-arrest (stopping one sliding down the mountain), setting up snow anchors, climbing with two, one, or zero ice picks (use the feet and balance), and get out on a real climb with a leader. AMC - outstanding in the field? Out CLIMBING in the mountains. :-)
