Boston- A Wicked Tea Party
Shipping up to Boston, eh? From the Freedom Trail to Fenway, Boston does not disappoint. It is full of so many adventures, and is the perfect spot for families who have many different interests. I was surprised at how much I loved Boston, and even reminiscing now makes me long to head there again soon!
Where to Stay:
Boston is full of historic, boutique hotels. There is a little warning attached here though– not a lot of budget options. Boston is an expensive city to stay in generally, especially if you are visiting in the summer months. Keep in mind, the two favorites below are considered moderate by Boston standards.
