<p>I would love to hear some of the more interesting things you/your kids have done for New Year’s Eve.</p>
<p>My absolute favorite thing to do so far was going to Times Square to see the ball drop, but this year I am hosting a friend from out of town who doesn’t want to do this.</p>
<p>I don’t really want to go to a party (unless it’s something very different -I would love to go to a good murder mystery). I would also be interested in doing something once-in-a-lifetime: doing a tandem hang glide, zip lining, etc., but I want it to be specifically a New Year’s Eve event that goes until (or past) midnight - not something that happens the afternoon before or the day after.</p>
<p>I am in the northeast, but I would be happy to drive to somehwere like Maryland, DC, or Canada.</p>
<p>If it’s a clear night, we like to drive to the desert and star gaze (with a telescope).Anything to get away from the Rose Parade which ends right down from our street.</p>
<p>What about Boston’s First Night? If you don’t mind standing out in Times Square you should be ok with the cold in Boston. There are both indoor and outdoor performances, fireworks and ice sculptures and much more. I haven’t been since I moved out to Seattle, but it’s great fun.</p>
