My husband and a couple of friends recently took a long weekend trip up to Boston, MA. (They’re the same friends from the Chicago trip that I posted about previously, if you remember that one.) The views were stunning! There were churches built in the 1600s right next to the most updated, modern skyscrapers. It is such a unique city, rich in history and full of very kind people! For being such a large city, we were amazed at how clean and well-kept the streets were. Here are just a few highlights from the trip:

• Tatte Latte
• The Friendly Toast

Where We Found Coffee:

• Nero
• George Howell

• Cambridge Library and city area
• John F. Kennedy Commonwealth Park- near the river
• Boston Commons and Boston Gardens
• Converse retail store on the grounds of their home office- customized converse

 

How We Got There:

We walked. A LOT. In fact, over a three day period, we had walked a little over 19 miles. Did I mention that my friend and I were both pregnant? Yep, it’s possible to get around by walking most places, if you’re willing to. Some places, however, would be a significant walk and might take more time than you’d planned. So for those trips, we used Lyft and Uber.
