Day Trip to The Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, MA

https://www.bridgeofflowersmass.org/

Approximately a 2 hour drive from Watertown. We will depart from somewhere central to those who are going.

The attendee limit is set at 4 because that is how may people I can fit in my car. If someone else is also willing to drive, the attendee limit can be increased.

We will have a late breakfast/brunch/lunch/late lunch along the way, depending on what people want. We could also see the Glacial Potholes, shop in the cute towns of Shelburne Falls and Buckland, stop at places along the way, etc. We can decide what else we want to do after we know who is going.
