For spring break this year I was lucky enough to get to go to Boston to tour colleges and visit family. I was there for five days and had a blast every minute. Two days were spent downtown going to museums, walking the Freedom Trail and going to the park. Here is a peak into what I did in Boston. (warning: Picture overload)
While in Boston I toured Boston College, Northeastern University and Tufts University. I didn't like Northeastern that much since it was right in the city. But I really liked both BC and Tufts. I am hoping that next week I will be have a blog post about my time at Tufts.
My family went to the Museum of Science as well as the Museum of Fine Arts. The MFA (first two pictures) had a really neat exhibit with fashion made of weird materials and textures. I also liked seeing some of the Monets in person since he is one of my favorite impressionists. Even though I'm not that into science I really liked an exhibit called Micro and Macro which featured pictures of really big and small things and you had to guess which was which. I definitely spent a lot of time in that room.

(Whole Foods)
You simply cannot go on vacation without shopping. We spend some time shopping which was a ton of fun. I got to go to Whole Foods and it made me so happy since I love their desserts. More importantly I finally got to go to a Vineyard Vines Store. There isn't one it Wisconsin so I have been waiting to go for quite some time. I ended up going to two of them which was perfectly fine with me.
The last day we went to the Public Gardens. The gardens were so pretty, even if the lake was drained and there was no leaves on the trees. Of course we had to take pictures with the ducks because why no be tourists? I think it was so cute that they were dressed up in their Easter finery. It was the nicest weather of our trip so I had a good time walking around and admiring the garden.

After the park, My family walked part of the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a path around Boston (marked by the red line) that takes one to all of the historic monuments. I loved seeing the graveyards because it shows history in a different way. (think women and children). It was such a nice walk that takes you through the North End.

This was one of my favorite spring breaks and I absolutely cannot wait to go back. Boston has quickly become one of my favorite cities. I am so grateful that I got to go on this trip and I fully recommend that you go if you get the chance.
