Good of fashioned family fun! It’s school vacation week and here are some suggestions on free family fun in Southie! Take the kids or revisit your childhood with a trip to the Pit on Farragut Road near the Murphy Rink. Grab a sled and hit the hill at this old school favorite sledding spot of South Boston. Lace up the skates and hit the ice. The Murphy Rink is offering public skating through the winter. If you don’ t have skates, don’t worry. You can rent them from Teddy – he is the skate master (and local legend). If your blades are dull, he’ll sharpen ’em up for you! So bundle up the family and head to the rink! While you’re there, indulge in some rink pizza from the concession stand – many argue it’s the best in town! Hours of Public Skating:Tuesday – Thursday 12pm-2pm, Friday 12pm-2pm 7pm-9pm, Saturday 2pm-4pm and 7pm-9pm and Sunday 2pm-4pm. Head to the Southie Library! They have all kinds of free activities on deck this week. You can learn more about it by visiting: http://www.bpl.org/branches/sb_calendar.htm
