Hi bluemooners.
Wife came home last night and suggested Boston as a destination for her 40th in November this year. She was set on going to New York but we have already been and although we both loved NYC, she feels that we should maybe try a new place. She's got the idea from someone at work who has a pal that has been and loved it.
I've had a quick look via google and watched a couple of youtube videos on Boston and if I'm being honest, I think that we might struggle to fill 5 days. Neither of us are mad on American history and I think a day or two of hearing about the revolution and walking the freedom trail we might get a little bored. We're also not too interested in walking around Harvard either.
Neither of us are mad on seafood either so lobster sandwiches and Boston clam chowder aren't going to compare to a chip barm from Tony's chippy.
I love sport so obviously the Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtic, New England Patriots and New England Revolution will be of interest. I also love beer and Boston does look to have a very vibrant beer scene. It's also the home of the sitcom Cheers so that too would be a fun thing.
Is it a little bit far to go for what might be an average experience or am I doing Boston a huge injustice there and we'd have a great time?
We're pretty simple folk who love to wander about a City, take in a few points of interest but for me the place has to have a really apparent music, sport and social scene where we'll enjoy every evening out.
Any thoughts blues?
