What counts as a good day for the kids

The same rule for every city on the list, so the verdicts compare: between 60° and 85°, dew point under 65° so it does not feel sticky, rain chance under 25%, wind under 15 mph, and at least four of those hours in a row between 10 am and 6 pm. The wording names its own confidence: is within a day or two, looks like at three or four, may be beyond that, because that is how forecasts age.

Boston, for a day out

Boston's window is late spring to early fall, and its best family days are often the ones after a front has cleared the humidity. The Charles River Esplanade, Boston Common and the Public Garden, and the Arnold Arboretum are all free; the Harbor Islands are a ferry ride and a picnic.
