Boston is probably the nicest and safest city in the country to visit. So much to do and see. Great food, sports, bars, ocean, cruises, history and walking trails. Fun city. Plenty to do outside the city as well with Cape Cod, MV, Nantucket, NH, Maine. Something for everyone.
I definitely feel that while in Boston. Had some run ins with assholes and ghetto dumps in Salem but other than that in my experience being around the nation. Boston is a very solid city
Boston can be safe lived there most of my life. There definitely are some areas you want to be careful though. Stick to the touristy areas you'll be fine. Definitely be a little careful in Roxbury, mattapan, Dorchester and the South end. Otherwise you'll be totally fine.
Caught this video pretty early and just want to say, been watching for at least a year and, you two really seem like great people that approach each video intentionally and it shows! Love watching anything you put out & seeing your personality come through. Your vids have helped me decide on multiple hikes and spots to visit, and as a filmmaker I really appreciate how well your videos are made, I know that takes a lot of work!
Thank you, we really appreciate it. We spend many, many hours researching, planning, storyboarding, and editing these videos. We put every ounce of energy we have into each one. And it means a ton for that work to be acknowledged ❤
Would love to go there, so historical, we just went to Jamestowne, the 1st official successful permanent settlement of the English and its so amazing to see how after 170 years, they were like, nope we want our own Freedom, haha, great video as always, you always make me hungry watching you guys 😂 xoxo Melissa
I'm from Boston, and you two definitely did my city justice! I'm so glad you were able to have so much fun and see everything. Your videography skills are excellent, and everything about this video was so well put together! I can't wait to see the Canadian Marintimes. 😄
We did a family vacation to Boston last year (as well as other New England spots using your videos as guides), and it was fun to watch this video at the dinner table and have my 6 year old say "We've been there! We did that too!" We also did a Red Sox game and my son was super happy to see you guys did that as well! Thanks for the entertaining family-friendly videos!
My history loving heart loved this video and I want to go to Boston even more than I did before, and I didn’t think that was possible. Something about the juxtaposition of the old and new buildings looks so cool! Also Kathryn nailed her performance at the Tea Party Museum! 😂
I visited Boston in 2012, it was great. Mikes Pastry, Redsox game, Old North Church, cemeteries, the skinny house, North End for italian food, The Bell In Hand, and the rest of the great history. I sat in the red seat for a photo op. The person in the seat was nice enough to let me.
Another nostalgic episode! I lived and worked in Boston for 20 years. My father was from Boston and went to Northeastern U. Adam really nailed the accent! We made it to Alaska! Saw Denali yesterday and hiked the Savage River trail. We showed your sign at the sign post forest today in our video!
I go to Boston quite a bit for work and glad you both had a chance to see all of the history. The freedom trail is great and Boston does a great job of preserving it's history with the modern day, unlike a lot of other cities. Boston would have been extremely challenging for you to drive with your camper, and little known fact about Paul Revere, is that he got captured and you can see where at Minuteman Park, which is near Lexington, Concord. Have to try those Cannoli's next time I am there and also visit the Boston Library, sort of reminds me of the Public Library in NYC. Boston is definitely one of my favorite cities in the U.S.
Salem and Boston are on my bucket list. Love all the history, I can't wait to go. Love the colonial vibes. Adam's face when he came out of the tunnel at the ballpark was priceless. I learned I shouldn't watch your videos on an empty stomach 😅. So much good food. Thanks for bringing us on your adventures. Greetings from San Diego!
I’ve been a lurker on your videos since Alaska. Just want to say never stop making videos! I really enjoy your commentary about history, things to do, and your cheesy banter. Your sponsored videos come off as genuine and I appreciate your honesty. I hope to someday go on an adventure with my son and husband and I love the inspiration you provide! This will probably be my only comment on your videos so I hope you guys read it. I’m a fan!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate the kind words! The encouragement truly helps us power through when things get tough ❤️ We hope you get to explore with your family soon!
Great job!! I did a few days in Boston with my daughter’s senior class trip and I was so impressed with the city and history! I would love to go back and see and experience more! At least I’ll have your video to refer to. I do a lot of my research on TA; I was impressed that they sponsored this video! I was watching other RUclips videos in reference for an upcoming trip and boy you guys got me spoiled! You are way better than the ones I was watching!
Thank you so much! We were very happy and proud to work with Tripadvisor. We're thankful for their support. We're glad you enjoyed this video and hopes it helps in your planning!
I live in Hingham and near the ferry boat. Lot's of history in the town of Hingham. The Town was founded in 1635 by people from Hingham England. The Town was originally called "Bare Cove". The Lincoln family (Abraham Lincolns family) were some of the original settlers. The Hingham shipyard was owned by Bethlehem shipbuilding company. They built hundreds of LST and Destroyer escorts for the US Navy & British Navy during WWII
If you ever go to Boston again, look up the huge public parking lot in the town of Winthrop, Massachusetts. It's a public parking lot that serves the ferry boat that you can also take into Boston during the spring and summer months. Winthrop borders East Boston, Massachusetts and would give you pretty easy access to Northshore cities like Salem. In addition to the ferry, Winthrop also has a public bus system(including a stop right in the parking lot of the ferry) that will take you the the T station called Orient Heights which you can take into downtown Boston. So, being a parking lot, there are no hookups, but there is a bathroom open during the ferry's business hours during the day. Cars and trucks are parked there 24 hours a day and I have seen several RVs parked there over the years. One other option in Winthrop is parking along Winthrop Shore Drive. All other streets in Winthrop require a resident parking permit or a visitor's pass. But, Winthrop Shore Drive is a state owned road and do not require Winthrop resident stickers. (All the side streets along Winthrop Shore Drive do require resident parking permits). You would have to be more quiet and stealthy has houses are along the full length of the street, but I have seen vans and truck campers many times.
It's so cool that you came to Boston--and awesome seeing you filmed right outside where my office is! But what I really wanted to say is that you picked such great places to see and eat (I used to go to Flour multiple times a day when I worked across the street and I now go tot Boston Public Market all the time for lunch) that I have even more confidence in your recommendations for every place else. Brilliantly done! Also smart to take the ferry and not drive in: A+. Only wish Kona could have gotten a little city time, there are some cool dog runs...will be eagerly awaiting your Canadian maritimes videos. Thanks!
Woohoo! We love it when we get cred from locals! 😊 Yes it would have been a nightmare driving Brisket through those streets! We wish Kona could have experienced Boston. We know she would have loved it too! Thank you!
I have such happy memories of this city, the first time I visited, I was solo travelling and met some of the best people I extended my stay! but that said I was the punch bag for any tour guide - "So where are you folks from?" Me: "Ummmm Britain?!" It was so nice to take a trip down memory lane with this video, and to see new places like the Public Market.
Oh I completely agree. The last time I was in Boston, my son took me on a hike through the city’s most famous landmarks. It was so beautiful, so very enjoyable. Try it out the next time you’re there. You won’t regret any of it.
Just landed on this chnl from a suggestion from the YT algo. I'm from Boston and always interested in seeing how tourists view the city that I walk around everyday. Pretty much your adventures through the city were on point. Glad to see you had a great time! I worked for the longest time in the Financial District which you were not far from at South Station (Just a stone's throw away!) Glad to hear you avoided the MBTA and only experienced the Commuter Rail to get to your destination. If you do come back to the state you could always check out the city of Quincy, MA as you were not that far where you were coming in from Hingham (hope you got to enjoy the infamous Wahlburgers restaurant in Hingham too). Quincy is easily accessible on the MBTA redline too and known as the "City of Presidents" with a lot of historical locations to checkout too!
Kathryn....you nailed it! Great job at the Tea Party experience. Adam's excitement was contagious....there's truly no place like Fenway Pahhhhhhk! This was a wicked awesome video!!
Great video!! Makes me count down the days until we visit this city even more in september.. love your videos, they never disappoint. If you ever come to Belgium let me know and i’ll show you around my hometown 😄👍🏻
I'm from Boston! I lived in the Back Bay and worked from Newbury St as a Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and South End realtor in my 20s. I used to take the Hingham ferry on the daily in my 30s to and from my job as a Hotel Sales Manager in Boston. It was a nice little "booze cruise" every night. Faneuil Hall was a fave for shopping and dining. Durgin Park was always a stop for their "Yankee Pot Roast." Quincy Market is very touristy, but also a lot of locals visit too. I can look at the Boston skyline and name every building, I know it like the back of my hand. Fun Fact: I was a sales manager at the Omni Parker House Hotel, and had Boston Cream Pie on the daily. You could've taken the green line T to Fenway. Favorite spot in the North end was Caffe Vitorria for a late night coffee and cannoli. In my late 30s, we lived in Brookline and would watch the marathon runners come up Beacon Street, just past out house.The public library is BEAUTIFUL! They have a beautiful courtyard where one can have a lovely wedding. My BFF's company had a skybox at Fenway and it was the best! Lobster Rolls and Fenway Franks on the included menu.
Girl you nailed it! The Oscar goes to Katherine for best supporting actress! Adam you are hilarious and the accent is too funny!!! I so enjoy your videos because you know your stuff and you make it fun and you bring it every time!
She said her acceptance speech would include “I would like to thank my parents for putting me in some acting classes as a child…” 🏆 Thank you so much! ❤️
Glad you guys had a great time her. I live in Boston for over 30 years and I have the pleasure to take long walks around time to soak up all the history and beautiful sceneries .
What whaaat!!! You guys spent two days in Boston! So did we except not by choice…got stranded there on our way home from Canada. Enough about that…this vlog was so good! We laughed and thoroughly enjoyed this one! This makes our decision to return to Boston for an actual vacation a no brainer! We did see a few of the sites but we’re definitely limited due to our situation. Katherine you rocked the town hall meeting! That looked like so much fun! Thanks so much for this fantastic, fun, and informative vlog! I only wish I had commented right away cause now you’ll never see this.
Sorry you had a rough time! Hopefully you can get back to Boston and explore it on better terms! There is so much to see and do there! The Tea Party Museum was so fun! We'll always notice your comments, Brad! Leave them any time!
Came across your video and this brought back great memories from my visits to Boston. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts and experiences. Definitely will be on my bucket list to revisit soon. Those canollis looked delicious. 👌😍
Hey great video! I worked in Boston for 35 years. Lived up in Salisbury. Moved to Arizona in 2020. I miss Boston and the food! We'd go to the NorthEnd for lunch alot. Umberto! Artu.. My grandmother was born in the nothing 1904. Yeah I'm Italian. Mom side. Brought a tear to my eye seeing Boston again. ❤
I am the tour guide that you saw in the granary. I hate to tell you that is not a British uniform. While that is a red coat it is a civilian coat. I actually portray someone who was a member of the comity of correspondence. Which helped rebel against the crown 6:52
Lifelong Bostonian and just wanted to congratulate you guys on a great video. Staying on the south shore with a camper was a great decision. Staying anywhere inside the city is just ridiculously expensive . You guys hits most of the bucket list stops and did a wonderful job showing all of them. The BPL is magnificent and yes, it does remind one of a museum. Great job,, wish the duck boats were running and don't miss a ride on Codzilla the next time. C'mon back soon!
Love this video! I grew up in Massachusetts so we spent a lot of time visiting Boston. I remember going to see the USS Constitution on field trips in school. I'm glad you got to see a game at Fenway Park! GO RED SOX!!!
Loved everything about this video. Having grown up in Hingham and went into Boston often, I would say you nailed it on this visit!! So glad you go to see Fenway and Sox play!!!!
The Boston Tea Party museum/experience is so cool. I don't think it was there when I visited in the late '80's. Freedom trail was so informative. I kept trying to imagine how it had been 200 years ago.
Subscribed! Have viewed many of you VLOG's and love the content. Mix of history, food, and just awesome fun! Like the bloopers too. Sounds like you are having fun. Good job and keep it up. Thanks.
Such a great video with so much history! Kathryn, great job on your speaking part! Oh all that yummy food 😋! I love all your enthusiasm in your videos…definitely makes me want to visit all the places❣️😘
I’ve been following you guys for soooo long I’m so glad you’re in New England. I live in Providence (RI) don’t miss a waterfire if you decide to visit this amazing city and have a fresh lemonade at Del’s. And don’t forget to try a delicious lobster roll with a waterfront view at Blount Clam Shack in Warren 😊
We walked around Providence a bit off camera and it was beautiful! Of course we had a beautiful weather day that day and not the day we planned to film in RI! 😂😰 We tried Del's at the Red Sox game and they were awesome!
Hey guys, you did a great job on this video. Boston is such a great city with amazing architectures. What an awesome tour of Fenway. I'm a huge Red Sox. I'm glad it didn't rain too much and that you enjoyed yourselves so much. Yeah unfortunately the East coast is not great for van lifers. Sorry about that. I wish it was better. Being a van lifer is on my bucket list someday. Enjoy Canada and be safe ❤
Thank you, Adam and Kathryn, for the video, reminding me of my fond memories in Boston, my favourite city in the US, 10 years ago as an exchange student to the US :) from Hong Kong
Hey Yall! This video is perfect timing for our family's Northeast visit in October. We have two days dedicated to Boston and Fenway is definitely part of the fun! We are also staying in Quincy, close to the Wompatuck State Park. You may have taken the ferry or the MTBA from Quincy, which I think we will dig in for more information of traveling that way, then we won't have to deal with car parking. Your video shows things to do that wasn't on our list but now we will add the Boston Tea Party experience for sure! Take Care !
Highly recommend the ferry or train! It made it so easy to get around and the ferry was very scenic! Hope you enjoy the Boston Tea Party as much as we did, it was a hoot!
Excellent video! I too am a big baseball fan. So I love how you clarified that you are NOT a Redsox fan. I’m a Yankee fan and the rivalry between our two teams is legendary 😄👍⚾️⚾️⚾️
It makes my heart so happy to see you guys enjoying places I’ve been going to my whole life! As usual, an absolutely beautiful video depicting a beautiful city 😊 you chose the best spots for your first trip here! Must’ve just missed you in the north end (I was celebrating my bday there mid June!). Glad you guys got to the cape too! So happy you enjoyed Boston and safe travels to Canada! Can’t wait to watch those videos as well 😄
Hi guys. The RUclips hadn’t been popping you up on my radar so I started to wonder where/how y’all were. Last I knew you were in the Nam. Well now, Boston is no Moab, but cool aquarium and great food in The North End. And cool to see y’all back in-country and traveling the right coast. Best to you.
Awesome job Katherine; the tea party place is so fun! Love Boston and Fenway Park! We are also working on going to all of the MLB Stadiums, we are at 10 currently. MA as a state is so beautiful & has so much to offer, hope y’all get to explore more at some point! Fyi, I am so pumped about your plans, been trying to get up to that area of Canada for years now!!
Thank you! This was my 7th current MLB stadium (9th overall - Astrodome and Three Rivers Stadium). We hope to come back to Mass some time to see everything else on our list! Lots to do! We're are super pumped for Canada!
Oh that is awesome! Congrats! Check out our website as well. We have an accompanying blog post with even more things to see , do, and eat if you still need more ideas! We hope y'all have a great trip!
Can't wait to see you in my home country (although you still need to come to Toronto)!! Also, my son goes to school at Suffolk University in Boston and that "modern" building you pointed to across from the state house was his dorm in 2021. This year he will be living just down from Fenway on the second floor of a brownstone. Boston is such a great city. Love Mike's and sitting on those swinging benches eating anything from the North end!
We would love to visit Toronto! Ontario just needs to get rid of that silly ban on pit bulls and we’ll be right there! Until then we’ll have to fly some time! How cool that your son will be living next to Fenway! I wouldn’t get any school work done and would spend all my loan money on baseball tickets 🤪
Hi! We have a blog post all about how we travel with Kona 😊 adventuresofaplusk.com/full-time-van-life-with-a-dog-tips-for-traveling-with-a-dog/ Hope that helps!
Thank you for showing Boston. Now that is one place that I HAVE been to. I have seen most of the places that you went to. I saw Fenway Park, but did not go to a game. Sounded like fun!
HUZZAH!!! Another wicked film about a wicked city! Loved seeing the Freedom Trail stops, Boston Public Market, Boston Common, Fenway, North End, and the library!! I'm Italian and my kids and I visited Boston in January 2020 for the first time - we only had cannolis at Mike's, and they were AMAZING!! We we visited, we stayed at a hotel where the Old Statehouse was outside our window, and it was so weird to see it under all the modern skyscrapers! So what was the name of the "exquisite" tea you tried? I'm really curious! And did the Red Sox win or lose when you were there? Thanks again for sharing!!
Wicked! So much to see and do in Boston! Those cannolis were the bomb! Aw man I wish I could remember the name of that tea! I'll have to look through the footage or google photos to find it. It was the "strongest" flavored one. I wish I could buy it. It tasted like campfire. The Sox lost that night! Thanks!
We spent a little time in boston on a tour. Can't even imagine driving in it! The bus driver did an outstanding job and we just had to watch and walk a little. Would love to go back and do some of the things you guys did. So fun and the food! Amazing!
Another awesome video. Two months ago you came through my town of Florence, Alabama. Glad you enjoyed the visit. On July 22nd I'm heading the opposite direction on an 18 week Western US road trip. Thanks to your videos I've learned of several places that you've already been. Can't wait to hit the road.
OMG you guys...my heart...Boston is my hometown! Born and raised Boston strong. You really saw a lot while you were there. My Sicilian soul loved to see the North End. I left 20 years ago but I will always be a Bostonian. Adam I think you sounded more like a New Yorkah/Bostonian mix LOL. I get teased all the time about my accent and yeah I say Green Monstah. Thanks for the memories this video brought up.
We tried to pack our schedule in Boston! We got lots of steps in! haha yeah I can admit to the mix of New York/Boston accent. I love imitating both and they get blurred together sometimes 😂 Thanks and thanks for watching!
Your vacation seems like an unforgettable experience! 🌅 Speaking of which, have you had the chance to explore the features of the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? It could be a game-changer for your travels! 🚀🎒

It depends on which part of Boston....it was very dangerous and the people were rude.
I definitely feel that while in Boston. Had some run ins with assholes and ghetto dumps in Salem but other than that in my experience being around the nation. Boston is a very solid city
@@beatricesiaw8776 you need to try pretty hard to get into the dangerous parts
Don't forget how expensive Boston is!!

Make sure you visit the Copley / the public garden if you do come. Will give you the mix of old and new you want.
Nothing is better than Boston on a Sunny day
Yeah
the fact that you guys went to Umberto means you did Boston right. Well done, -local guy

AWESOME! Welcome to the 30% club!
@@AdventuresofAplusK PS…Took K2 site-seeing plane Thursday and went 1/2 way around Denali and landed on the climbers base camp! A crystal clear day!
Boston!!! Open to all parties, influenced by none!
I really fell in love with Boston and New England. Modern Pastry was the best IMO.
Amen, Modern Pastry is better
Modern is the best....and most people sleep on Bova's too. Mikes is fine, but I don't think it's the best
Bova’s over all

I'm born and raised in Boston, I didn't realize how beautiful my city is until seeing outside the box. Thanks for this video.
Salem and Boston are on my bucket list. Love all the history, I can't wait to go. Love the colonial vibes. Adam's face when he came out of the tunnel at the ballpark was priceless. I learned I shouldn't watch your videos on an empty stomach 😅. So much good food. Thanks for bringing us on your adventures. Greetings from San Diego!
Come to Salem and Marblehead. Also there are affordable ferries from north shore straight to Boston.
Salem is a fantastic town!

Boston is awesome! We never had the opportunity to visit Fenway however. Thank you for bringing us along.
1:07 "How cool is it to see a city for the very first time from a boat" - Kathryn... we couldn't agree more!
Heck yeah!
Great job!! I did a few days in Boston with my daughter’s senior class trip and I was so impressed with the city and history! I would love to go back and see and experience more!

If you do come back to the state you could always check out the city of Quincy, MA as you were not that far where you were coming in from Hingham (hope you got to enjoy the infamous Wahlburgers restaurant in Hingham too). Quincy is easily accessible on the MBTA redline too and known as the "City of Presidents" with a lot of historical locations to checkout too!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Kathryn....you nailed it! Great job at the Tea Party experience. Adam's excitement was contagious....there's truly no place like Fenway Pahhhhhhk! This was a wicked awesome video!!
Thank you so much! We had a BLAST! Fenway Pahhhk lived up to the hype!
Such a fun video! I love Boston! The amount of time and thought you put in to your videos really shines through!
Thank you!
Loved the Boston tea party and the yummy cake.👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲
Awesome! Love all the details and the historic locations. Great video.
I'm from Massachusetts & it was great watching you guys explore Boston 😊
Love my city of Boston! Bova bakery in the North End is the absolute best and opened 24 hours!
Great video!! Makes me count down the days until we visit this city even more in september.. love your videos, they never disappoint. If you ever come to Belgium let me know and i’ll show you around my hometown 😄👍🏻
I'm from Boston! I lived in the Back Bay and worked from Newbury St as a Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and South End realtor in my 20s. I used to take the Hingham ferry on the daily in my 30s to and from my job as a Hotel Sales Manager in Boston. It was a nice little "booze cruise" every night. Faneuil Hall was a fave for shopping and dining. Durgin Park was always a stop for their "Yankee Pot Roast." Quincy Market is very touristy, but also a lot of locals visit too. I can look at the Boston skyline and name every building, I know it like the back of my hand. Fun Fact: I was a sales manager at the Omni Parker House Hotel, and had Boston Cream Pie on the daily. You could've taken the green line T to Fenway. Favorite spot in the North end was Caffe Vitorria for a late night coffee and cannoli. In my late 30s, we lived in Brookline and would watch the marathon runners come up Beacon Street, just past out house.The public library is BEAUTIFUL! They have a beautiful courtyard where one can have a lovely wedding. My BFF's company had a skybox at Fenway and it was the best! Lobster Rolls and Fenway Franks on the included menu.
Girl you nailed it! The Oscar goes to Katherine for best supporting actress! Adam you are hilarious and the accent is too funny!!! I so enjoy your videos because you know your stuff and you make it fun and you bring it every time!
She said her acceptance speech would include “I would like to thank my parents for putting me in some acting classes as a child…” 🏆
Thank you so much! ❤️
As someone who grew up eating onigiris, it's so interesting to me to see an Italian version that is deep fried. Must try when I'm in Boston!
Good stuff!
Glad you guys had a great time her. I live in Boston for over 30 years and I have the pleasure to take long walks around time to soak up all the history and beautiful sceneries .
What whaaat!!! You guys spent two days in Boston! So did we except not by choice…got stranded there on our way home from Canada. Enough about that…this vlog was so good! We laughed and thoroughly enjoyed this one! This makes our decision to return to Boston for an actual vacation a no brainer! We did see a few of the sites but we’re definitely limited due to our situation. Katherine you rocked the town hall meeting! That looked like so much fun! Thanks so much for this fantastic, fun, and informative vlog! I only wish I had commented right away cause now you’ll never see this.
Sorry you had a rough time! Hopefully you can get back to Boston and explore it on better terms!
There is so much to see and do there! The Tea Party Museum was so fun!
We'll always notice your comments, Brad! Leave them any time!
Glad you enjoyed my backyard 😊
Love how you raised your pinky while drinking tea! Asah!!
Came across your video and this brought back great memories from my visits to Boston. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts and experiences. Definitely will be on my bucket list to revisit soon. Those canollis looked delicious. 👌😍
Glad you got to experience my hometown of Hingham, MA. I grew up in the woods next to the shipyard. A beautiful and peaceful town.
You guys nailed the Boston video. I've lived here my whole life, so I can tell a good review when I see it.
Thank you so much!
Hey great video! I worked in Boston for 35 years. Lived up in Salisbury. Moved to Arizona in 2020. I miss Boston and the food! We'd go to the NorthEnd for lunch alot. Umberto! Artu.. My grandmother was born in the nothing 1904. Yeah I'm Italian. Mom side. Brought a tear to my eye seeing Boston again. ❤
Thanks and thanks for watching!
So glad you used “wicked” properly!! Haha. Great video of Boston, you represented it well! And so glad you got to visit Fenway!
I am the tour guide that you saw in the granary. I hate to tell you that is not a British uniform. While that is a red coat it is a civilian coat. I actually portray someone who was a member of the comity of correspondence. Which helped rebel against the crown 6:52
Whoops! 😅 Thanks for letting us know! We enjoyed your appearance none the less!
Lifelong Bostonian and just wanted to congratulate you guys on a great video. Staying on the south shore with a camper was a great decision. Staying anywhere inside the city is just ridiculously expensive . You guys hits most of the bucket list stops and did a wonderful job showing all of them. The BPL is magnificent and yes, it does remind one of a museum. Great job,, wish the duck boats were running and don't miss a ride on Codzilla the next time. C'mon back soon!
That means a lot! Thank you and thanks for watching! We love Boston and can't wait to come back!
So glad you guys got to visit and explore my favorite city!
Love this video! I grew up in Massachusetts so we spent a lot of time visiting Boston. I remember going to see the USS Constitution on field trips in school. I'm glad you got to see a game at Fenway Park! GO RED SOX!!!
Loved everything about this video. Having grown up in Hingham and went into Boston often, I would say you nailed it on this visit!! So glad you go to see Fenway and Sox play!!!!
Thanks so much!
The Boston Tea Party museum/experience is so cool. I don't think it was there when I visited in the late '80's. Freedom trail was so informative. I kept trying to imagine how it had been 200 years ago.
Subscribed! Have viewed many of you VLOG's and love the content. Mix of history, food, and just awesome fun! Like the bloopers too. Sounds like you are having fun. Good job and keep it up. Thanks.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Boston is a great, as far as cities go. Glad you're heading to Newfoundland... it's awesome up there. SO much to see and do...
We are PUMPED for Newfoundland!
One of my new favorite videos of yalls'! Thanks for bringing us along as always! ❤
Such a great video with so much history! Kathryn, great job on your speaking part! Oh all that yummy food 😋! I love all your enthusiasm in your videos…definitely makes me want to visit all the places❣️😘
I'm so glad your guys had so much fun in our awesome city.
Great video! The ferry from Hingham was my commute to work for a year. LOVED it
I’ve been following you guys for soooo long I’m so glad you’re in New England. I live in Providence (RI) don’t miss a waterfire if you decide to visit this amazing city and have a fresh lemonade at Del’s. And don’t forget to try a delicious lobster roll with a waterfront view at Blount Clam Shack in Warren 😊
We walked around Providence a bit off camera and it was beautiful! Of course we had a beautiful weather day that day and not the day we planned to film in RI! 😂😰
We tried Del's at the Red Sox game and they were awesome!
I love Boston! Thanks for making this video guys brought me right back.. enjoy Canada!!
This looks like such a fun place to visit. 🌻🐕🥰
4:08 ya gotta send a post card from the halls. It has it's own zip and post mark...which is kinda cool.
Hey guys, you did a great job on this video. Boston is such a great city with amazing architectures. What an awesome tour of Fenway. I'm a huge Red Sox. I'm glad it didn't rain too much and that you enjoyed yourselves so much. Yeah unfortunately the East coast is not great for van lifers. Sorry about that. I wish it was better. Being a van lifer is on my bucket list someday. Enjoy Canada and be safe ❤
The east coast is tough for van life for sure! We make it work, but our wallet suffers a bit haha. Thank you for watching and the kind words!
Thank you guys for putting this video out for my amazing city!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Adam and Kathryn, for the video, reminding me of my fond memories in Boston, my favourite city in the US, 10 years ago as an exchange student to the US :) from Hong Kong
I love history, and I really enjoyed this so much. I enjoy all of your adventures. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to them when you post them.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you and thanks for watching!
That’s awesome video, guys! It’s great to see you at Fenway Park! Go Red Sox!!!!!
Hey Yall! This video is perfect timing for our family's Northeast visit in October. We have two days dedicated to Boston and Fenway is definitely part of the fun! We are also staying in Quincy, close to the Wompatuck State Park. You may have taken the ferry or the MTBA from Quincy, which I think we will dig in for more information of traveling that way, then we won't have to deal with car parking. Your video shows things to do that wasn't on our list but now we will add the Boston Tea Party experience for sure! Take Care !
Highly recommend the ferry or train! It made it so easy to get around and the ferry was very scenic! Hope you enjoy the Boston Tea Party as much as we did, it was a hoot!
You two are awesome. Welcome to my city that I've lived in for 64 years!!!
Best hiking mountain climbing videos I’ve seen on RUclips.. Havr to put that out there!! 😮😮😮
I can't believe you were staying at Wompatuck. I live 10 minutes from there! Loved the scenes from my hometown! Glad you enjoyed Boston.
Excellent video! I too am a big baseball fan. So I love how you clarified that you are NOT a Redsox fan. I’m a Yankee fan and the rivalry between our two teams is legendary 😄👍⚾️⚾️⚾️
Haha, you sound just like my partner! We were wondering the same thing! 😂
Thanks! Yeah I'm not a Red Sox fan, but I'll be honest...I'd root for the Red Sox before I rooted for the Yankees 😂 the rivalry is fun though!
Im Vietnamese, i watched all you vidoes about Vietnam, i loved them so much. Now i continue to watch your other videos, they are all so cool...
Thank you so much! We miss Vietnam! ❤
I'm from Boston and I must say you did a fantastic job
Woohoo! Thank you!
Love the Boston accents!
Thanks again for sharing your adventures.
What a great tour of Boston, so much to do! Thanks for taking us along! 👏❤️
It makes my heart so happy to see you guys enjoying places I’ve been going to my whole life! As usual, an absolutely beautiful video depicting a beautiful city 😊 you chose the best spots for your first trip here! Must’ve just missed you in the north end (I was celebrating my bday there mid June!). Glad you guys got to the cape too! So happy you enjoyed Boston and safe travels to Canada! Can’t wait to watch those videos as well 😄
We had such a great time in Boston!
Happy belated birthday!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK so great to hear!! Thank you! 😊
I am so jealous!!!! I love the Red Sox so much and this is so on my bucket list!!!! Can’t wait to see this city ❤❤
Hi guys. The RUclips hadn’t been popping you up on my radar so I started to wonder where/how y’all were. Last I knew you were in the Nam. Well now, Boston is no Moab, but cool aquarium and great food in The North End. And cool to see y’all back in-country and traveling the right coast. Best to you.
Awesome job Katherine; the tea party place is so fun! Love Boston and Fenway Park! We are also working on going to all of the MLB Stadiums, we are at 10 currently. MA as a state is so beautiful & has so much to offer, hope y’all get to explore more at some point! Fyi, I am so pumped about your plans, been trying to get up to that area of Canada for years now!!
Thank you! This was my 7th current MLB stadium (9th overall - Astrodome and Three Rivers Stadium).
We hope to come back to Mass some time to see everything else on our list! Lots to do!
We're are super pumped for Canada!
From Boston myself! loved your video.
Pinocchio's pizza in Harvard Square has the best Sicilian slice I've had in the Boston Area.
Flour Bakery is one of my FAVES. they have at least 2-3 locations in Boston. The coffee, baked goods and sandwiches are OFF THE HOOK.
Made a list for my gf and I 3rd anniversary trip we are taking to Boston great video!!! Thank you!!
Oh that is awesome! Congrats!
Check out our website as well. We have an accompanying blog post with even more things to see , do, and eat if you still need more ideas!
We hope y'all have a great trip!
Can't wait to see you in my home country (although you still need to come to Toronto)!! Also, my son goes to school at Suffolk University in Boston and that "modern" building you pointed to across from the state house was his dorm in 2021. This year he will be living just down from Fenway on the second floor of a brownstone. Boston is such a great city. Love Mike's and sitting on those swinging benches eating anything from the North end!
We would love to visit Toronto! Ontario just needs to get rid of that silly ban on pit bulls and we’ll be right there! Until then we’ll have to fly some time!
How cool that your son will be living next to Fenway! I wouldn’t get any school work done and would spend all my loan money on baseball tickets 🤪
Looks like you took the commuter rail to Fenway. Smart and a true locals move!
Would you guys be willing to do a short video or answer questions about how you board Kona during travel? Do you use boarding facilities, Rover etc?
Hi!
We have a blog post all about how we travel with Kona 😊
adventuresofaplusk.com/full-time-van-life-with-a-dog-tips-for-traveling-with-a-dog/
Hope that helps!
@@AdventuresofAplusK awesome!! Thanks so much
Thank you for showing Boston. Now that is one place that I HAVE been to. I have seen most of the places that you went to. I saw Fenway Park, but did not go to a game. Sounded like fun!
HUZZAH!!! Another wicked film about a wicked city! Loved seeing the Freedom Trail stops, Boston Public Market, Boston Common, Fenway, North End, and the library!! I'm Italian and my kids and I visited Boston in January 2020 for the first time - we only had cannolis at Mike's, and they were AMAZING!! We we visited, we stayed at a hotel where the Old Statehouse was outside our window, and it was so weird to see it under all the modern skyscrapers! So what was the name of the "exquisite" tea you tried? I'm really curious! And did the Red Sox win or lose when you were there? Thanks again for sharing!!
Wicked! So much to see and do in Boston! Those cannolis were the bomb!
Aw man I wish I could remember the name of that tea! I'll have to look through the footage or google photos to find it. It was the "strongest" flavored one. I wish I could buy it. It tasted like campfire.
The Sox lost that night!
Thanks!
I went to Boston last year, it was simply amazing, I can't wait to get back there one day
We spent a little time in boston on a tour. Can't even imagine driving in it! The bus driver did an outstanding job and we just had to watch and walk a little. Would love to go back and do some of the things you guys did. So fun and the food! Amazing!
It would have been tough driving! The commute in was a lot of fun and made it much easier. So much to see and do in Boston!
Love my kids here in Maine.. Your close by and I adore you two!! Very entertaining and beautiful.. Grammy said so..!! Xxxooo ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Boston girl here ! Next time you come visit the Isabella Stewart Musuem they have great events as well.
Another awesome video. Two months ago you came through my town of Florence, Alabama. Glad you enjoyed the visit. On July 22nd I'm heading the opposite direction on an 18 week Western US road trip. Thanks to your videos I've learned of several places that you've already been. Can't wait to hit the road.
That's awesome! We hope you have a great trip!
OMG you guys...my heart...Boston is my hometown! Born and raised Boston strong. You really saw a lot while you were there. My Sicilian soul loved to see the North End. I left 20 years ago but I will always be a Bostonian. Adam I think you sounded more like a New Yorkah/Bostonian mix LOL. I get teased all the time about my accent and yeah I say Green Monstah. Thanks for the memories this video brought up.
We tried to pack our schedule in Boston! We got lots of steps in!
haha yeah I can admit to the mix of New York/Boston accent. I love imitating both and they get blurred together sometimes 😂
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great video! I will be spending 2 days in Boston in July, but I might need to add a day or two. Looks like a fun place to explore. Thanks!
We hope you have a blast! It's an amazing city!
Your vacation seems like an unforgettable experience! 🌅 Speaking of which, have you had the chance to explore the features of the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? It could be a game-changer for your travels! 🚀🎒
