The later afternoons we spent exploring the Freedom Trail. From the legendary Massachusetts State House to the hallowed grounds of the Old North Church, each step was a journey back in time. Our last stop was Paul Revere House. To finish off our walking tour, we treated ourselves to dinner at Chao Roma in the North End. Loved the seasonal fig bruschetta and their pasta with vodka sause!

We geared up for an unforgettable day of sports and rivalry at the legendary Fenway Park. We donned our team colors, joined the energetic crowd, and cheered on the Red Sox as they triumphed over the Yankees in a thrilling baseball showdown. The electric atmosphere, roaring fans, and iconic ballpark traditions made it an experience we'll cherish forever. The energy of the fans was contagious, I’ve never participated in a wave then went around the stadium 4 times! After the game, we celebrated the victory at a nearby pub, toasting to the team's success. After the game, we explored the charming neighborhoods of Beacon Hill and Back Bay. These areas are known for their historic architecture, quaint streets, and trendy shops and restaurants. We celebrated the Red Sox victory at 1928 Beacon Hill Steak House for dinner.

Day 3: Island Retreat at Plum Island and Newburyport

We decided to escape the city for the day and embarked on a picturesque day trip to Plum Island and Newburyport. I was filled with excitement as I stepped foot on Plum Island. The soft sand, gentle waves, and cool ocean breeze instantly transported me to a state of tranquility. We ventured further to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, captivated by the vibrant bird species and serene natural habitat. Leaving Plum Island behind, we discovered the charm of Newburyport's historic streets, boutiques, and waterfront energy. One of the highlights of my day was Bob's Lobster, where the tantalizing aroma and flavors of their famous lobster rolls created a memorable seafood feast. We loved the laid back atmosphere and enjoying out Lobster rolls with an Ocean View.
