Boston with Kids, a two
times iTunes Hot List Pick. Written by Deb Geigis
Berry, A Massachusetts-born-and-raised, nationally
known family travel expert, Boston with Kids provides
insider tips and advice for local and tourists alike.
"This is my new favorite app. As a family that
travels a lot, we're constantly getting pamphlets,
guides, and whatever we can to help us, but nothing
has been as helpful, thorough, or fun as Boston with
Kids. My kids love it for the fun, whimsical illustrations,
and my wife and I are still learning just how in depth
it is and how much there is to do. We highly recommend."
