Living in Boston

We really didn't have enough time to see everything while living in our short-term rental, but soaked in as much as we could. Boston is an entirely different world from other parts in the U.S., but it was an incredible place! Our rental was just 30 minutes outside of the main city which allowed us to take many trips downtown while still exploring the city's outer parts as well.

Our stay happened to be during baseball season so we had the opportunity to go to a Red Sox vs Yankees game:

One of my favorite aspects of Boston was its rich history. A nearby city known as Concord, MA contained a lot of really neat historical sites. Below is a replica of the "North Bridge" at the site of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. This is where the first shot was fired in the Revolutionary War. 

Concord had a lot of really neat sites including the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery containing "Author's Ridge" where a lot of well known American authors were buried. 

Louisa May Alcott (as well as her whole family). The "Little Women" inspired home is also found in Concord.

We also visited the famous Salem, MA which was a beautiful coastal city:
