How to Spend a Day in Boston, MA

3/31/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news… but I have to admit that it’s utterly impossible to explore the entirety of Boston all in one day.  That said, the good news is that you can fit in a ton of Boston charm into one full day, because of how walkable the city is!

​Maybe you have a Sunday free to drive to downtown, or maybe you’re on a New England road trip and can only spare 12-24 hours in America’s Walking City - based on places we've experienced for ourselves, here’s what I recommend you see and do while you’re visiting Boston, MA for a day!

Our Cross-Country Road Trip from Seattle to Boston!
(WE MOVED TO THE EAST COAST!)


To hear about an adventure consisting of: 3500 newly acquired miles on our odometer, Sherbert’s car-ride experience, a scenic drive through Yellowstone, Chicago snacks, and all 13 state signs along the way -- keep on reading!  (But buckle up -- it’s a long trip!!)

Rather suddenly, Lucas received military orders for a permanent change of station in Boston, Massachusetts by early September.  Given that our wedding occurred in early August, the new orders only allowed us for 1 month of preparation in-between before moving to the other side of the country.

​With the military’s assistance coordinating most of our belongings through a moving service, we decided to embrace the unique opportunity to drive coast-to-coast across the entire United States of America!  Based on my research, most people recommended 1-2 weeks minimum when driving across the country.  If we had the time to do so, we definitely would have taken more time to soak in more cities.  Although we were excited to explore along the way, we were even more eager to settle into our temporary home.  Therefore, we spent only six days total driving from Seattle to Boston.
