Acorn Street | Boston
Before traveling to Boston, my aunt insisted that I visit Acorn Street. Since I live under a rock and had no idea what that was, she showed me photos. According to several sources, it’s the most photographed street in America. Why is it so special? It’s gorgeous. That’s all. The cobblestone road goes uphill and is lined with townhomes on either side and very thin brick sidewalks. After doing some research, there is absolutely no significance to this block-long street. It used to be home to artisans and traders and has become one of the most prestigious streets to live on according to a Boston tour site.
It’s visited purely for its beauty. It’s an escape to colonial Boston with the historical lampposts and cobbled walkways. Many people come here for photo shoots, especially for engagements. It’s especially beautiful in the fall when the leaves are changing color. Tip: be careful walking this street when it’s wet outside because it gets a bit dangerous. Instead of going on about this street, I’ll let the photos paint a picture for you.
Before diving head first into the holiday season, plan a quick getaway to relax and enjoy the final weeks of the season. It seems that most of the US had a somewhat late summer this year which means the fall leaves are appearing and sticking around later than usual. Thanksgiving is a month away and it starts the insanity that is the holiday season, but not if you start preparing now! In the meantime, give yourself a break by taking a quick trip away from everyday life. These five destinations have a mix of warmer and colder fall weather but each is a strong contender in its own right. From New England to California, whether you have a regular weekend or a long weekend, these are worth a fall getaway…
