We Had the Best Time at the Wachusett Mountain Kids Fest

Wachusett Mountain Kids Fest

One of my favorite parts about living in the Northeast is the opportunity to see a brand-new part of the country I haven’t seen before. We’ve done some traveling around MA, ME and RI, but we’ve mostly stayed on the coast. This past weekend, we had the opportunity to travel to Wachusett Mountain for their annual Kids Fest. Our friends at MEFA and Fidelity invited us to attend, and I’m so glad we were able to make the trip as our kids absolutely loved attending! If you have the chance to attend in the future, I’d highly suggest it. Read on for some of our trip highlights.

If you haven’t heard of Wachusett Mountain, it’s about an hour northwest of Boston. They have a sky area and host events there throughout the year.

The drive is not the straightest, but it is quite beautiful. Quickly, we were outside of an urban environment, surrounded by so many trees. We passed a lot of small, quaint little towns as we made our way to the Wachusett Mountain Kids Fest.

When we arrived, we were able to find parking very close to the entrance to the event. As we walked in, we were greeted by a man on stilts dressed in the most patriotic get up. He was blowing bubbles and he even took the time to give my son a major high-five. Rocco had to jump a few times to finally reach his hand—he got such a kick out of it. As you can see from the picture, we had great views of the mountain and the sky runs!

The event had lots of vendors, activities for kids, and great food options. One of the highlights for our kids was a tent that had an obstacle course set up. Basically, it was an obstacle course for the kids. There were also two different areas to pet animals. My son loves animals, so he was pretty excited to feed the llamas. The kids also loved the giant blow up slide and went down several times.

The event also featured the U.Fund Dreams Tour, which offered fun activities for the kids. My kids loved the photo booth and getting to color their own book mark. For parents, we had the chance to speak with a financial expert to learn about MEFA’s 529 college savings plan and how it offers control and flexibility of our savings. Plus, it’s easy to set up and affordable, allowing great tax benefits for my family.

Getting to chat with these financial experts definitely raised awareness of the importance of investing in a college savings plan and how it’s best to start saving from an early age.  If you’d like to visit the U.Fund Dreams Tour tent, here is a list of some of the upcoming events.

Overall, we had a great day at the Wachusett Mountain Kids Fest and we’d definitely head back next year.

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

After the high of the holidays, I find myself feeling kinda sad in January.

Last week in Puerto Vallarta was such a dream but I’m definitely feeling the post-vacation blues.

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.

Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.

@villapremiere has gone out of their way to make my birthday magical. For my birthday dinner, they created a private four-course dinner for us in their gazebo peninsula that has the most amazing views of downtown Puerto Vallarta. Check out the (shaky) video I took as we walked to dinner. Honestly, I’ve never had such a special birthday. I can’t thank @villapremiere and @enroute_communications enough.

This is the first vacation I’ve had where the ha This is the first vacation I’ve had where the hardest decision is what drink to order at the swim up bar🍹. To say @villapremiere is true paradise wouldn’t even do it justice. We keep saying to each other, “this doesn’t feel like real life, we are so lucky.” Thank you @villapremiere for the absolute best birthday I’ve ever had.

When I thought about where to celebrate my birthday this year, I immediately thought of Puerto Vallarta. I had such a phenomenal experience here in 2019 with @visitpuertovallarta and @enroute_communications - I knew I had to come back. 
.
Thankfully, @villapremiere agreed to host me and I feel so beyond lucky. This place is pure magic. Head over to my stories for all the highlights over the next few days!
