It's like stepping into a canvas where there are splashes of color everywhere. Combine that with the lush parks inviting you for picnics, beckoning vineyards, and enticing hiking trails, admittedly, it is hard to resist. In the parks, you will often find writers perched on picnic tables, toiling with their masterpieces on laptops. At waterfront, painters seeking inspiration stare out into the lakes and beyond, finding motivation for their latest creative endeavors. That's how beautiful and inspiring the scenery is in Boston during fall.

We took the time out to take a drive somewhere along Sierra Nevada one time and it was one of those moments in your life that you know you are going to take to your grave. It is also the kind of experience that you can tell your kids and friends about over Thanksgiving dinner. And if you have seen but never been on one of those Old Town Trolleys, you should! It's really fun...albeit, in a rather childish way. You learn a lot about the many beautiful places in Boston from the guide but that is not the highlight of the ride – you feel the autumn wind blowing through your hair and the aroma of nature tickling your senses as you sit on those open-air cars. You can get on and off as you like around the sixteen stops that the trolley takes...a very convenient way to get around for free, we might want to add.

And you don't be thinking of shopping indoors in a mall when it's autumn, you have to get OUT THERE. There is no better time to visit the Boston Public Garden than during fall. Bring out your camera and start snapping away while the kids and adults alike feed the ducks in the lake. And then there are the wonderfully artful statues too. For better pictures, try the Swan Boats – they are famous for a very good reason.

All in all, autumn is a fantastic time to visit Boston MA. If you are heading over in a group, be sure to get your hands on reliable a Boston MA charter bus rental package.
