I had been wanting to properly plan a trip to Boston for months, but it never came together! Lucky for me, Bo has always been a huge Red Sox fan and they made the ALCS aka the American League Championship Series! After they beat Tampa Bay, we knew we had to order tickets. Plus, Gigi (my mom) had vacation days left she needed to use before the year was over! Perfect timing. Lol! We quickly ordered the ALCS tickets for Game 3 and Game 4 in Boston, booked our flights, and I started my research to throw together a bomb itinerary in less than a week! ๐
Being the Type 7 that I am (Google the Enneagram if you’re confused), it gave me anxiety that I didn’t have a lot of time to plan for Boston. When I go on a trip, I have to make the most of every minute! I want to visit the coolest (and most Instagrammable) spots and eat at the best restaurants. I tried to find travel guides from other bloggers for Boston, but I didn’t see many! So I knew I wanted to recap our trip for y’all in case some of you are heading to the city too!
Since our priority was the Red Sox, we opted to stay in Back Bay at the Hilton because it was walking distance to Fenway Park! I think this area is great even if you aren’t doing the baseball thing because it’s near a lot of hot spots and restaurants! I do believe Downtown is the most popular, though.
Since we did pretty much everything we wanted to in Boston, I knew I’d regret it if we didn’t visit Salem on Tuesday! Omg. SO happy we went because it was my favorite part of the trip! We made the mistake of taking an Uber there but rode the train back, which was much better. We ate at Red’s Sandwich Shop and the breakfast was incredible! I’m convinced nothing you order there could be bad! 10/10 recommend.
I’m positive I covered everything and more in this blog post, but please let me know if you have any other questions about Boston or Salem! Thanks for reading ๐
