Do you have a day off that you could spend on a day trip from Boston? Boston's central position in the northeastern New England area gives it an ideal starting point for seeing some of America's most treasured historic monuments and attractions. Boston is a fantastic city to live in, with plenty of interesting history, gorgeous parks, and great cuisine, and it's one of the few locations in America where you can get by without a car. But, with so much to see and do outside of Boston, you may as well spice things up with a little outdoor adventure.
