Winters in Boston are fun, but summers in Boston are even better. When it finally warms up enough to leave your jacket at home, this list can help you get your summer started.

1. Eat on the rooftop deck at Jerry Remy's.

When you sit down to eat at this restaurant, Fenway Park is actually right in your face.This restaurant has a fun atmosphere, and you can’t beat the view.

2. Take a walk through the Fenway Victory Gardens.

After you eat a Jerry Remy’s, head over to the Victory Gardens, a community garden. You can walk through to see how differently each person creates his or her own unique garden.

3. Paddle board or kayak the Charles River.

Okay, so the Charles doesn't have blue water like the Bahamas does, but the Charles lets you get away from the city without ever leaving. If you don't want to actually go out onto the water, there are plenty of areas you can sit and watch from afar.

4. Discover a cute coffee shop in Brookline.

Going into Brookline is like walking into another world far, far away from Boston. Finding a hole in the wall coffee shop or restaurant is the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon … at least that’s what I call fun.

5. Walk the Freedom Trail.

History isn't your thing? Yeah, me neither ... but you should walk it! It's a couple miles long in total and it stops along other sights you also need to check out! Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market and Boston Common are all along the trail route, and they are all worth stopping off of trail to check out.
