I spent the last week visiting family and traveling with my good friend Jamie, on the east coast in Hudson, Massachusetts. While I was there, I went into Boston, Concord, Lexington, and Sudbury to see all the historical sites. I also found myself in Newport, Rhode Island to see the famous mansions. I had so much fun catching up with family and getting a refresher course in United States history.
From walking through the battle of Lexington, re-living the lives of the rich in their Newport, RI mansions, and apple picking at Honeypot Orchards, I had a blast! The city of Boston has lots to offer and even after all the history I find myself wanting more. Here are lots photos of my adventure this past week. I hope you enjoy seeing Boston, and part of the east coast through my eyes!
