DAY 2: HISTORIC BOSTON – FENWAY PARK – KENNEBUNKPORT This morning enjoy a Boston City Tour featuring Boston Commons, the Old State House, the Old North Church from where Paul Revere got the signal to start his legendary ride, the Old South Meeting House, Beacon Hill and Old Ironsides. Next enjoy a guided tour of historic Fenway Park, the soul of our “national pastime” for many. Fenway is America’s oldest ballpark and home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912. Past glories come alive on a walking tour of the stadium that may include some of its most famous landmarks, such as the Triangle, Pesky’s Pole and the legendary Green Monster of left field. Visit the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, located in downtown Boston near the waterfront and originally gifted to the city in 1742 with free time to shop and enjoy lunch on your own. This afternoon take in the natural beauty of the New England coastline as you travel north towards Maine with a photo stop in the picturesque coastal town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Enjoy a scenic Casco Bay Cruise to see lighthouses, forts, lobster boats and seals.

In Kennebunkport, see the Wedding Cake House, an over-exuberant version of gingerbread Victorian architecture and the most photographed house in Maine. Visit the Seashore Trolley Museum, the oldest and largest electric railway museum in the world. No visit to Kennebunkport would be complete without taking in the view from Walker’s Point, the longtime summer retreat of George H.W. Bush and family. In the seaside village of Ogunquit, take a leisurely stroll along Marginal Way, a one-and-a-quarter-mile walking path that winds along the town’s rocky shore and offers dramatic iconic views of the craggy Maine coastline leading to quaint Perkins Cove. Later board a Lobster Boat where a local lobsterman takes you out into the harbor aboard his working boat for an authentic, hands-on experience in the lobstering trade with a lobster haul. In nearby York take in breathtaking views of the Cape Neddick Lighthouse, commonly known as Nubble Light. Top off the day with a traditional down east Lobster Clambake and a chance to try some delicious Maine lobster!
