Summer in the USA 2019: Week 4 of 7 Massachusetts

After our week in Tahoe we flew from Reno to Boston via JFK.  We spent the first half of the week on Cape Cod enjoying a perfect New England summer experience.  Then we stopped in Plymouth for a bit of history.  And the second half of the week we spent in Boston exploring the city sights and doing a little bit of college touring.  Massachusetts is crazy hot in the summer, but we loved getting to soak up a good dose of Americana on the beaches of Cape Cod and in historic Boston. 


Arrving at Chatham Bars where Cape Cod dreams are made!


















Our very first clam bake!  It was pretty spectacular!  Think Cheaper by the Dozen minus the fireworks debacle.  



Lobstah!


So fun Barbara and Kensie could join us!  



S'mores on the beach






The town of Chatham is just so charming.  I love Cape Cod!

A real highlight to our Boston trip was going to a Red Sox game at Fenway.  A true American experience.  I can't get enough of this.  Trevon and I went to another game later in the summer.  Nothing better than taking in a baseball game at Fenway!  






Discovering we were at the same game as the Rydells while we were both there was kind of amazing!  




Later in the week dinner and ice-cream out with the Rydells


Colleges tours continue with Harvard, Boston University and Boston College
