Weather in Boston, transportation in Boston, and entertainment and food in Boston. www.modernhoney.comTraveling to historic and beautiful Boston had been at the very TOP of my bucket list for years.

It was the fall of 2007 and we had plans to travel to Boston to watch my sister-in-law, Christeena, star as Glinda in the Broadway tour of Wicked. Hello curve ball.

I received great news that I was pregnant with my fourth child but the bad news was the inevitable morning sickness….that lasted all day long. I knew what was coming as I experienced it with my other three kids but this pregnancy was profoundly different. It was much worse and there was no reprieve. I couldn’t even keep down my usual standby Zofran….the amazing anti-nausea medication…for even a minute.  I was a hot mess! The trip to Boston was canceled but I vowed to get there someday!

I was finally able to experience the charm, warm people, good food, and historical beauty of Boston. I loved every minute of this trip!

If you have read any of my travel posts — California Pacific Coast Highway 1 Road Trip Guide and Best Places to Eat and See in NYC, you will know one thing…..I never take a trip without a significant amount of planning and research.

This trip to Boston was no different!

WEATHER:

The best times of year to visit Boston is in the late Spring when the flowers are blooming or in early Fall to see the gorgeous autumn leaves. Summer can be gorgeous as well but can get warm in the middle of the day. There are plenty of places to see where you can stay cool.

There are several options for getting around town. The subway system, UBER, and bicycles are great ways to see the city. There is a Charlie Pass/Card available for $11/day or $18/week, which is a good value.

TRAVEL FROM NEW YORK CITY TO BOSTON:

We combined two trips into one. We flew into New York City and spent a few days exploring the city. Then we hopped on a Bolt Bus and headed to Boston. It’s about a 4 hour trip but the bus was so nice and comfortable and even had WiFi and outlets to charge phones.  It cost us about $15 each to take the trip — Bolt Bus Info. We flew out of Boston and it ended up cheaper than flying out of NYC. It even paid for all of our bus tickets! We loved being able to experience both cities and see the differences between these two popular cities.

HOTELS IN BOSTON:

There are so many charming and historic places to stay in Boston. After much research, we decided that we wanted to be close to the North End since it is so rich in history and known for its incredible Italian food. I use Hotwire all of the time to find great hotel deals. We booked a boutique hotel called, The Boxer, for our stay in Boston.  It was within walking distance of the North End which includes the Freedom Trail, Quincy Market, Old North Church, Boston Public Market and Mike’s Pastry. Plus it was only 10-15 minutes to the airport. We loved this location!
