Take a look back in time at the Nichols House Museum, one of the oldest homes in Beacon Hill. The house was built in 1804 and purchased by Dr. Arthur Nichols in 1885; the house stayed in the family until the death of the doctor's daughter, Rose Standish Nichols, in 1960. As can be imagined, the family accumulated many things throughout the years from art works to furniture, oriental rugs, and other furnishings and antiquities. You're invited to experience early American life inside the walls of this historic home.

There's not much that could be more romantic than a date on the water. Plan your next date night with a Spirit of Boston sunset dinner cruise on the beautiful Boston Harbor. As you dine on a buffet of sumptuous foods you'll enjoy taking in the view of the city from the luxury ship; after dinner you'll have plenty of opportunities to get close with drinks and dancing. For an extra romantic moment, toast to your love while experiencing the view from the ship's outdoor deck.

Boston Bowl is more than just bowling; of course, if bowling is what you want to do they have you covered, but you can also shoot pool, practice batting at the batting cages, and go crazy on the games in the arcade. And when it comes to bowling, the options are seemingly endless. The bowling venue offers both tenpin and candlepin lanes, options for bumpers, Cosmic Bowling, and a bowling league if you're feeling like your skills are professional.

Watch the opening battle of the American Revolution take place right before your eyes at Minute Man National Historical Park. This hallowed ground is where the war began and where it is relived through reenactments. These demonstrations aren't the only things to do at the park though; explore the visitors center, walk down Battle Road Trail, check out the Hartwell Tavern and The Wayside and other park attractions.
