    Naumkeag is known for its fabulous gardens and its Berkshire "cottage". Today this Gilded Age mansion was all decked out for Halloween!

    We were blessed with beautiful days in Boston and we took advantage of every hour that we could, to be out and about exploring.

    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.

    As someone who hated high school history class, I'm amazed at how much I enjoy visiting places from those dreaded books and lectures.
