William and Kate took in a Celtics game at the Garden. Great game to be at too as the Celtics beat the Heat 134-121. Check that off the list!

Now, what else should the Prince and Princess of Wales do while in Massachusetts? I have 12 ideas that will make their trip memorable - and memorable for us too as pictures of the Royals visiting these offbeat Mass attractions would be fan-tastic.

Let's run through the ideas - and William and Kate if you're down for some home cookin' hit me up, I'm making grilled cheese tonight. Fancy AF.

The Beer Can Museum in Northampton

So many beer cans, so little time to see them all! Thankfully they squeezed as many as possible inside the Beer Can Museum in Northampton. Obviously it would be a super romantic stop for the Prince and Princess of Wales and I'm sure they'd get some cute pics for the 'gram while there.

Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast in Fall River

Speaking of romance? Uhhhhh... ummmm..... you can actually sleep in the house where she did that? Yikes. And of course I mean "yikes" in a they-should-totally-visit-for-a-night kind of way.

A Duck Tour in Boston!

All the local news channels will be focused up for that close up of the inevitable "QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!" It's not humiliating it's fuuuuuunnn.

The Birthplace of Fried Clams in Essex

It's like Fish n' Chips but chewy!!! Fried clams were fried up and sold on the side of the road by Lawrence Woodman in 1916. Woodman's Restaurant is on Main Street in Essex and the clams are still bangin'!

Mapparium in Boston

Located in the Christian Science newspaper building, this is a walk-through glass globe that shows the world's countries as they were in the 60's. Time traveling Royals in Boston? Heck to the yes!

The Oldest Wooden Jail in America in Barnstable

How can you skip that while you're here for 3 whole days? It's the oldest wooden jail in all of America!!! I'm guessing the others were eaten by termites.

The House Made of Paper in Rockport

Speaking of things termites like: A house made of paper?!? Nom nom nom. Sorry, I forgot we were talking about the Royals, not termites. I got confused there for a sec. Still - the house is made of mostly newspapers - William and Kate might even find their names in a shingle! Wow!

Not gonna lie. There's some weeeiiiirrrrrrddd *bleep* here. A trip here pairs well with a night at that Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast. What do they serve for breakfast there anyway? I could go for an omelet right now actually.

The Skinny House in Boston

The Royals just have to stop and do a TikTok dance in front of Boston's iconic Skinny House. Their royal friends will be soooooo jelly.

UFO Encounter Monument in Sheffield

A granite monument marks the spot where the Reed family allegedly encountered a UFO in 1969. If William and Kate are lucky they might even meet one of our resident Massachusetts aliens stopping by in their UFO to say hi! (Just let me know a few hours before you visit so I can prepare for my big performance. Nanu nanu.)

The HUGE Hood Milk Bottle in Boston

I hear William is a sucker for milk and cookies. Bring the cookies William! Also bring the milk. It's a huge bottle but it's bone dry. Sorry. Fake news.

The Shovel Museum in Easton

And last but not least: an entire museum devoted to SHOVELS! If that doesn't send them home happy with the true spirit of Massachusetts I don't know what will.

Have fun William and Kate!
