We love to travel, but we’re often traveling on a budget.

As a result, we both have had to become more comfortable learning how to budget, save, and really maximize our experience so that we’re not going broke for the sake of our love for exploring new places.

One of the many places we have on our unpublished bucket-list was Boston, MA. Maybe it’s the endless access to lobster (lobstah) or the Boston accents, but my husband and I have always had a shared love for Boston. I can’t say that without sounding incredibly weird, but it’s true.

Last November, we traveled to Boston to experience the city together in celebration of our one year wedding anniversary. There’s so much to do there that we did not get a chance to experience it all. It’s definitely on our list of places to visit again.

There's a trail called the Freedom Trail that takes you through pretty much all of the historical sites in Boston such as Paul Revere's house, the African American meeting house where historical figures such as Frederick Douglass stood to give speeches and more! It was so surreal standing on the same floors that so many influential generations of African-Americans stood before me.

Other than eating, we also visited the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, which was a wonderful experience. I never visited a presidential library because there aren't many on the east coast, but visiting his caused me to look into some other ones that I'd love to visit one day.

If you’re curious, here’s some snapshots of our experiences there through the lens of our camera.
