Places to Travel: Massachusetts!

I had the opportunity to travel to Massachusetts last summer 09′ which was a complete life changing experience for me since I never traveled out of California. Sophomore class of 09′ got the chance to travel but only a few got selected since the one-weekend trip was expensive. We traveled to Boston, Peabody, Salem, Plymouth, Beverly, and Cambridge.
The flight from Los Angeles to Massachusetts was around 5 hours.

The flight was a wonderful experience since we had the opportunity to watch television, and eat food. A lot of kids were super excited to go since we’ve never traveled. When we arrived at the Logan International Airport we immediately traveled to Peabody to eat a really incredible dinner that consisted of cheese pizza, salads, and soda. After that we checked in hotel by Peabody. After that we traveled to Salem to watch a reenactment of the Salem Witch Trials.

The trip was educational since we were visiting colleges like Harvard, Endicott, M.I.T, Boston University, etc. I enjoyed Boston Universities campus, it was really beautiful and so was Endicott’s, since it was near the beach. We traveled through Massachusetts and we went to Bunker Hill, which was so much fun! We had a lot of time to eat at local restaurants, which consisted of a lot of restaurants in the Quincy Market.

Summer is the best time to go if you enjoy the humid weather. When we arrived to M.I.T, it was raining, but it was really hot outside. Throughout the whole entire trip it was either raining or it was so hot that we couldn’t wait to go home. Although the weather was a little tad weird, it really helped us appreciate California and it’s amazing weather. But Massachusetts was really incredible, its one of a kind weather that you won’t be able to find in the west coast.

We went to some really cool places like the New England Aquarium, Mayflower II, Quincy Market, the Founding Father’s Monument and other historical places in Massachusetts. I really recommend you to travel to Massachusetts. Not only does it have really historical places but it’s really fun overall. The atmosphere is really great, especially in the downtown areas. So next time when you’re thinking of where to travel in the U.S give Massachusetts a chance.
