We had a car, so drove round to Cape Cod and stayed a few days. Plimoth Plantation on the way. This was a hit with the younger children. Costumed guides are terrific with the interaction and the houses are wonderful to wonder through. Once on Cape Cod, we went to a few beaches. There was a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard on the ferry where we took bikes to the lighthouse and had a few hours on the beach.

Drove down to NYC and spent the day in Rhode Island on the way. Narragansett Beach was lovely. Found a restaurant nearby with fresh caught seafood.

Years ago we spent a week in the summer camping in Acadia National Park (Bar Harbor, Maine on Mount Desert Island). The hiking was the best in the world. Lovely touristy towns. Ate lots of lobster and picked wild blueberries on the mountainsides (while hiking).

If I only had four days, I’d stay in Boston. Plenty to see and do.

What a great trip you all had , memories forever 🤗

We're thinking of a 7 nt ncl cruise from Boston next September (2022) going up to Bar harbour and Nova Scotia.
We"ll probably have 3/4 nights in Boston first - if we stay near the cruise terminal, is it an easy walk or bus ride to the main areas ?
