Did almost this same trip 10 years ago , thank you Abita . It was awesome .

Boston really is an awesome vacation spot and all the side trips you can do from Boston
Boston alone is plenty to do in the city with all the history over to Lexington/Concord
We've done trips to Newport RI and Cape Cod as well as Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard
We've been up and down the Mass, NH, Maine coasts all the way to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park with stops in Portland and Freeport and others along the way
We've also gone up into Vermont
Nothing better in summer time with nice weather and in the fall

Thanks. I dusted off my big camera and between that and the iPhone it was a great mix. Just so beautiful up there it was difficult to pick and choose the ones to include. It was a great trip.

Album #2 would be a big hit on the poli-board.
Great trip, thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to do something in the NE that wasn't strictly business, this is inspiring.

How did you like fenway? Who were the Sox playing? Did you try the Italian sausage with grilled onions?

Fenway was great. Have been to Wrigley many times and this certainly rivals that. Just a great feel and a tiny park that is very intimate. They were playing the Rays and both had been eliminated earlier in the week. Did not get to the sausage and grilled onion, but hoping to go back next season for round two.
