HI!
SOOOOOO
The weather has finally taken a turn here in Boston…I don’t want to hold my breath since it can literally be 80 degrees here one day and then snowing the next….BUT….I have good vibes.
Spring in Boston may be my favorite season. The city hibernates all winter long and then seems to come to life in the spring!
For most Bostonians spring starts at Fenway Park – the 1st home game means BUSINESS.
real talk: in no way, shape or form, am I a Red Sox fan….not even a little bit…not even 1%. GO MARINERS.
anyways.
Back to Spring.
The second Spring event that gets everyone ready…the Boston Marathon. This year during the Marathon the weather was V miserable.
It was raining. Hard. Like really hard, SO, you can understand why I am so reluctant to say yay, its Spring!
However, the vibes are good for warmer weather in this recent week.
I am most excited for patio drinks and flowers. Lots of flowers!
The Boston Public Garden and streets like Newbury come to life. There is nothing better than sitting at the Boston Commons (with bae and baby, aka. J and Khush), looking over at the gardens and seeing them bloomed to perfection.
Here are a few of my favorite Boston Spring time things to do.
Farmers Markets
Being a huge foodie and cooking lover, the Farmers Markets are huge for me! I can keep up with all the seasonal ingredients + everything is sourced locally and helps stimulate small business.
Brewery Hopping
Just like San Diego, Boston has a shit ton of breweries. One of my favorite breweries (which I haven’t had a chance to visit yet), is Trillium. They have some tasty Boston ales. You can also check out Samuel Adams and Harpoon for some well-known faves.
Take a Walk
SO many places to walk around and to. Start with the Boston Public Gardens and stroll into the Commons. Head on over to Newbury St. and window shop. Mozy on down to the Esplanade and walk along the Charles River. Take the bridge and head into Cambridge with a view of Harvard.
LOVE WALKING.
Stuff Your Face
There is always some place to eat in the city. Try one of the local food trucks or head over to Faneuil Hall and try local chowder. Sit on the sidewalk patio’s and enjoy a mid-day drink. Better yet, have a picnic in the park!
Hit the Trails or Tread Water
Hike the Fells or Blue Hills. Who says you have to go to New Hampshire to get that in? Rent a kayak or paddle board and get down and dirty on The Charles. Take a visit to Revere Beach where it feels quintessential BOSTONIAN.
Boston has also has a bunch of fun indoor activities like the Aquarium, The Science Museum and The Fine Arts Museum….but those involve you being inside so….
My point is GET OUT.
BE ACTIVE.
DO SOMETHING.
especially If you are in, or visiting this great
What are some of your favorite spring time activities?

This looks like the prefect day out! Meanwhile I am stuck in rainy England. Hopefully we get some good weather so we can start enjoying whats left of spring
Which part of England are you in?
How fun! I went to graduate school in Boston (20yrs ago) and this was a nice walk down memory lane. I think I even know which corner you’re at in your top pic! Boston IS one of the most fun cities to live in and visit. Sausage King at Fenway a must!
Omg! Fenway sausage, peppers and onions are the best!
Such a beautiful and sunny place from what I see in the photos. I would really love to visit one day. Love that it has such great museums !
Only sometimes sunny! Haha
Looks like so much fun to be had in Boston at Spring Time. I really need to get back there sometime soon. I really miss New England. It’s such a fun place to visit, Boston that is – lots to do!
I am definitely looking forward to the warmer weather and it sounds like there’s so much that you can do in Boston during Spring! I’d love to explore more of it to be honest!
Come on down and I’ll show you around!
Ah! Gotta love where you live! I’m like you, I like patio time and flowers! lol! Best place to be during Spring! And it seems like you’ve got it all planned out which is perfect!
I’ve never had the chance to visit Boston. I would love to go see the public garden and visit the farmers market that would be fun.
I’ve never been here before but it does sound good, lots to do and see. I love a farmers market!
Yeah, time to get out, the sun is ready to shine! Good to see that the city is ready for spring, a lot of activities and places to visit during this season. In my case, I’d rather walk and enjoy out while the sun is out.
