From Niagara we took a flight from Buffalo Airport to Boston where we collected our car, although anxious about driving on the wrong side of the road Peter did well and we found the Toll road route 90 having paid the toll right through to West Stockbridge at the very end we then exited through the wrong gate, unable to hand in our receipt and on returning home found we had a ‘Traffic Violation’ oh well something else to brag about!! Our Hotel her was the Shaker Mill Inn a small B & B run by Bob and Mary and their beautiful little dog Annie
from here we drove around some of the most beautiful New England countryside, and witnessed the changing colours of the Fall (Autumn as we know it LOL) We also visited a Shaker village who were celebrating Halloween, and viewed some of their exhibits but always the star of the show was the colours of Nature all around us.
Eventually we were on our way to Boston and this is where the ‘FUN’ began! We had a Sat-Nav but there are so many tunnels, underpasses and bridges in Boston that it was most difficult to get around twice we saw our hotel and were whisked right passed it in the fast lane!! Well we eventually arrive and the wonderful man on reception upgraded our room to the top floor with this wonderful view of Boston. From Boston we visited The landing site of the Pilgrim Fathers, originally inhabited by Native American Indians, this is a view from the top of the church in a room where they kept the canon! we also visited a replica of the Mayflower docked in Plymouth Harbor The following day we went to Cape Cod and visited Chatham. This is a most beautiful place, but remember we are now outside the holiday season very few people around soft white sand blue sea and lagoons inhabited by sea birds, the light was absolutely perfect for photography, the weather was so warm for the end of October.
The last day was spent Whale watching, we were not so lucky with the weather! It tipped down with rain and and a gale blew and the little boat rocked this way and that, but we saw some whales, the pictures are not as good as I hoped but that’s an excuse to go back and take some more.
Thank you for accompanying me whilst I remember my holiday in the USA, if you have enjoyed it please visit again
Love Suki x
I enjoyed very much going through your vacation with you. It looks like you had a great time, and your photos are absolutely fantastic. You should write a book of your travels to the US, just a thought. I am so glad you had a good visit. I hope you have more photos, you do such a good job with your camera. Keep the photos coming. Thank you so much for sharing.

Love the photo of your husband on the pumpkin. Great expression.

Hello Suki, thanks for your visit to my page, always lovely to read your notes when popping by.
I have ‘waded’ through your photographs and read your potted snippets of your journey. All sounds and looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Lots of love to you
Kate.
Is not it good when we prove them wrong? Love your blog it took me away!!

Suki,What a wonderful trip…..and the pictures are grand! For me it was special since all the sites are my back yard. Right now I live in the upper Hudson Valley and border the Hancock Village. (Shaker Village.) I agree, we do have beautiful fall foliage and your pictures reflect the beauty of this season. Family often take the train from Albany to NY and back. I too love Niagara Falls and as I started looking at your pictures was hoping you took the Lady of the Mist. That for me is one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I’m glad you enjoyed Boston and NY City. The B&B must have been a delight. What a wonderful trip. Glad it was memorable for both of you. Next trip should be WDC. Talk soon. Bittersweet
Hi Suki, I saw most of these on flickr and now reading your description here it makes me want to visit New England even more!Hugs from Alaska
Good Day Susie..What an amazing Trip you had. I love the waves. Beautiful Photos. Every Photo you have in this blog is stunning. Im stuck here for a while looking into anouther world almost. Love the Night Lights. !!!!I glad you were able to get some photos of the Changing fall colors. Have a Great Day. Im off to work . 🙂
Suki the pictures are wonderful! It looks like you had a great trip. I hope next time you’ll visit Seattle. Oh btw, when I visited Plymouth, MA and went on board the Mayflower, I was struck by the tiny space that over a hundred people shared, and even more appalled that three pregnancies occured during that crossing. Sheesh!Blessed be
