Boston Harbor/Quincy Market - Boston

Whenever my family and I go to a destination, we like to take a day or so and just walk the city. We do this because we get as much time as we want at a particular attraction, and we can stop along the way if we find a store, etc. that looks appealing. This is exactly what we did the day we visited Quincy Market and the Boston Harbor.

Quincy Market is like a farmer's market times 100. A popular tourist attraction, Quincy Market has everything from ice cream and sunglasses kiosks, to restaurants, to souviner shops. You want to be sure however, that you are getting the best bang for your buck. Try haggling. It may work. Quincy Market is also home to Faneuil Hall, and the other Cheers Bar. If you are just dying for a beer, go in and check it out, or even if you want to just peek in to see how different it really is. The further you walk along Quincy Market, the closer you come to the Boston Harbor.

The Boston Harbor is breathtaking! It is everything I thought it would be, and more! If you are lucky enough to go there on a clear day, you could spend all day there. The Harbor is a place for inspiration, a place for reflection, and a place for serenity. While my mom was watching planes take off on the other side of the water, my brother and I were goofing around with camera angles (we are photgraphy freaks). If you want to get away from it all in a bustling city, go to the Harbor.

Tips on the Market and Harbor:
-If you are looking for an original and authentic New England restaurant, head to the harbor. I never knew I could love crab as much as I did!
-Bostonites say Quincy Market is the biggest Boston rip-off. Don't believe everythng you see, or hear, price-wise.
