DAY 2: BOSTON – MANCHESTER
After breakfast, venture out in Boston for a guided city tour along the
Freedom Trail, passing iconic landmarks like the Old State House, Boston
Common, and Faneuil Hall. Next, we’re o昀昀 to the countryside—winding
through storybook landscapes to Pickity Place in rural New Hampshire.
Tucked into the woods in a 200-year-old red cottage (the inspiration for
Little Red Riding Hood), this enchanting spot o昀昀ers herb gardens, handmade treasures, and a seasonal lunch made with ingredients grown just
steps away. After, enjoy fresh-pressed cider at Lull Farm, where local apples
become liquid gold. Later, arrive in Manchester, New Hampshire, and
check into our downtown hotel for a cozy overnight stay. BL

Maine. Check into our oceanfront hotel in the charming town of
Ogunquit, your seaside home for the next two nights. B

stroll along the Marginal Way coastal path or browse the local galleries
and boutiques. This afternoon, we’ll explore the historic coastal towns of
York and Kennebunkport—perfect for last-minute shopping and seaside
snapshots. Tonight, we celebrate our journey with a traditional Maine
lobster dinner (with plenty of 昀椀xings, of course!) and raise a toast to new
friendships, creativity, and unforgettable memories. B D
DAY 7: OGUNQUIT – LOWELL – BOSTON – TOUR ENDS

industry. At the New England Quilt Museum, you’ll marvel at 19thcentury masterpieces and rotating exhibits that honor quilting’s deep
