Girls Trip to New England

Quick getaway for a mom’s trip. Flew into Boston Logan, and it was an easy drive through NH. Sometimes it’s just fun to not have a plan. We just knew we wanted to see Stowe. These are a few hidden gems we found on our journey towards Vermont.

New England offers an ideal backdrop for a memorable girls trip, combining natural beauty, charming towns, and rich cultural experiences. Starting in Boston, visitors can enjoy historic landmarks and vibrant city life before venturing north into New Hampshire’s picturesque landscapes. New Hampshire, known for its welcoming small towns and outdoor activities, provides opportunities for hiking and exploring local shops and eateries, such as the delightful Ginger & Clove in Hampton, NH, famed for its delicious breakfast. During the fall, New England transforms into a spectacular canvas of colorful foliage, making it the perfect season for a trip filled with scenic drives and cozy stops. Portsmouth’s downtown area is a highlight, with its quaint bookstores and welcoming cafes that serve seasonal treats like hot apple cider—ideal for warming up after a day of outdoor adventures. Pet-friendly shops add to the area’s charm, allowing travelers to bring their furry friends. Further exploring Vermont, Stowe stands out as a must-visit destination. Known for its stunning mountain views and outdoor recreational options, it embodies the classic New England charm. This trip emphasizes the joy of having a flexible itinerary, letting travelers soak in the spontaneous discoveries along the way. From beachside strolls at Hampton Beach to hiking trails in New Hampshire, and shopping in cozy downtown areas, this girls trip captures the essence of fall travel in New England.
