Trip to Massachusetts

This trip started with a very, very long drive that lasted about 14 hours that happened overnight. The drive was obviously uncomfortable but worth it . . . I had the opportunity to see HISTORY coupled with lots of fun. The average day in Boston was rainy and gusty. My very first purchase was a jacket to keep warm and lucky for me, a friend was able to share his poncho with me or otherwise, I would have been doused. During the trip, I had a very yummy piece of Boston Cream Pie and I had the Boston bake beans experience.

Here is a breakdown of the trip:

Salem: Location of the 1692 Witch Trials where many lost their lives over untruth and hysteria. Seriously, the museum gave me the creeps. I really haven't slept a whole night through since I learned the "ins and outs" of the witch trials. I have had nightmares that feature the "black man." That is what the people in that day called the devil. I toured the House of Seven Gables. It was featured as an American novel and it is historically, the oldest mansion in all of New England.

Downtown Boston: I had dinner two times at Quincy Market. This was central for shopping, dining and performance entertainment. I really enjoyed Boston's waterfront. I made it a point to visit it each time that I made it downtown. I can't forget the unforgettable concert . . . The BLUE MAN GROUP! It was totally amazing and unlike anything that I have ever experienced. If I had to compare it to something, it reminded me of some type of dance rave with comical breaks of non-verbal theatrical acts. Oh and I can't go with mentioning the fact that I visited the Science Museum. They had a baseball exhibit on display that was incredible. At first, I had no interest in browsing the exhibit but then, I had some extra time to kill. It was totally worth it! They had an actual Women's Baseball League uniform on display and beside it was the Peaches uniform that was worn my Betty Davis in the film called "A League of their Own." This is one of my favorite movies and to see an actually uniform worn . . . it was a real treat.

Cambridge: Location of the historical event in American history. It is reported that this is the location where the Revolutionary War started.

All in all, it was an awesome trip. I am already trying to find ways to see the BLUE MAN GROUP again :)

Here is a slideshow to take you there . . .
