A MA getaway 🤍
Where I grew up is like a real life Stars Hollow… & didn’t even realize it’s charm until I was older (and now living in Southern California)! 📍 Marlborough, MA has such deep history. The neighbors I had growing up… their home was built in the early 1600s!! Nothing like that here in SoCal.
