Residents recently took a day trip to nearby Hingham, MA. They took the ferry from Boston to Hingham, enjoyed a picnic lunch, and did a driving tour of historic buildings with a local guide. In the afternoon, some hiked at World’s End while others toured the Heritage Museum. The day ended with ice cream before driving back home to the BA. A perfect day in every way!
BA staff, family & friends gathered for a picnic on the East Front Lawn. Games, good food and wonderful friends made for a beautiful evening!
