Hello everyone! I hope 2017 is treating you well so far. I have some catching up with posts to do and to write about Boston as well as a New Years Eve post! As you know if you read this blog, travel adds so much colour to my life. No matter how big or small, I think adventure and fun can be found close to home, or an 8 hour plane ride away. In November my fiance (!!) and I booked a vacation to Boston, MA. If you’re thinking about visiting I think this was a great time of year to come to still enjoy that “fall” feeling, but the city wasn’t too busy with tourists either.
From New York City it was about a 4 hour drive to get there. Since it was in November, we caught the trail end of the leaves changing on the way there. It was a beautifully sunny drive. We stayed in a cute little hotel called Aloft Lexington that was just outside of the city, but since we had car access going into downtown was never that far away.
Some of my favourite moments from the week were visiting Quincy Market, a must see indoor market, sitting along the harbor, going to a local board game cafe, visiting the outdoor bookstore, the public gardens and eating in little Italy! It had been a while since I had visited a city for more than just a couple days, so it was lovely to get to see most of what the city had to offer, and explore some great restaurants. We were there for about 5 days and were blessed with mostly sunny, warm (no jacket) weather.
You have to try the cannolis’ here!
Some of Boston’s quirks were it’s windy, circular roads, the classic Boston accent and a plethora of universities everywhere you turned. The nerd in me also had to drive through Harvard *just because*.
Enjoy the pictures of beautiful Boston!
