- Keene, NH: The filiming location for Jumanji (with an appropriate mural)
- Glocester, MA: A cute seaside town that happened to have a dark history of lost sailors with bleak numbers of survivors
- Salem, MA: The custom house where Nathaniel Hawthorne worked and wrote some of his great stories, and some of the neighboring homes that were also built hundreds of years ago.
- Near Keene, NH: Stonewall Farms housed many cows and goats, as well as a small shop with cheeses, maple syrups, and Katie's favorite: maple cotton candy
- Brattleboro, VT: Top of the Hill Grill was a little barbeque restaurant that happened to be our only stop in VT (thanks to the pouring rain). The hill did provide some cool views of greenery and creeks though.
- Worcester, MA: Bancroft Tower was a stone mini-castle built Stephen Salisbury III so he could "spend all his money before he died." It serves no real purpose other than being a haunted house run by the city during Halloween, a Santa meet and greet during Christmas, and of course, a pitstop for foreigners like us
- Webster, MA: Webster's Lake, formally known as:
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchaugga-goggchaubunagungamaugg,
actually has more g’s (15) than average feet of depth (13), so why not?
- Quincy, MA: Supposedly the most nearly perfect sphere in the world, the city memorial was a must-see
- Lexington, MA: The house of Jonathan Harrington, who, as described by our Colonial BFF, was shot in the battle and crawled to his doorsteps only to die by bleeding out in his wife's arms (sensing a trend of gloom?)
