Freshfields offers tons of outdoor fun for the fam

Last weekend’s weather was kind of spotty, so take advantage of the clearing skies (at least, that’s what the weatherman predicted) and get outside.

Whether you’re at the beach or enjoying one of the many Spoleto and Piccolo Spoleto events around town, you’re sure to pick a winner. There are always options in the Holy City, that’s part of its charm.

Here are a few great options under $10.
