Blogposts from our Bay State Getaway are finally complete. This post provides an outline of what we saw and links to posts about each stop.
Waterfalls, History, and Art
This post finishes off our extensive list of things to see during our time in Massachusetts. As great as it was, I'm sure we'll be back.
Another Day, Another Mansion
Naumkeag is known for its fabulous gardens and its Berkshire "cottage". Today this Gilded Age mansion was all decked out for Halloween!
Bridges, Blooms & Beyond
Today we also saw waterfalls and potholes and discovered Galumpkis. The colors are coming on nicely, which adds to the marvelous of MA.
A Bounty of Bridges
We left early this morning with an extensive list of covered bridges to explore. Beautiful blue skies and warm temps made this a perfect day.
Day Trip to North Adams
Today's outings included a walk in the woods and beautiful white marble cliffs with great mountain views – and just a hint of Autumn.
Bay State Getaway 2022
Back-to-back weeks in MA with close proximity to NY, CT and VT enabled a great trip with radiant colors coming on over the course of our stay.

The Search for Lights
This post is chock full of gorgeous lighthouses! Along with the lights came fantastic views and birds, and just a little more history.
For the Love of Water
In this post we'll see Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, Barnstable Harbor, and the Atlantic Ocean. And you know what that means – lighthouses!
Walk Into History
We were blessed with beautiful days in Boston and we took advantage of every hour that we could, to be out and about exploring.
A City on a Hill
For our three days in Boston, we sprung for a great hotel right near the Freedom Trail. We strolled right out of our hotel and into the city.
History 101
As someone who hated high school history class, I'm amazed at how much I enjoy visiting places from those dreaded books and lectures.
