I travelled to Boston at the end of May and the beginning of June this year. It was a family trip with my parents, my brothers and one friend from Berlin. We had a specific reason to fly over to Boston: My brother’s graduation from Harvard!
The journey started badly for me. On my way to the airport, I hit something on the road and had two flat tires on my new car. I had to take the most expensive taxi to make it to the airport on time.
The flight was smooth and I got some food from the business class because they ran out of normal food. I guess, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
We arrived in the afternoon and checked in our hotel: The Westin Boston Seaport District. It is a newer hotel and it looked amazing. The rooms were great as well. Also, the breakfast was not disappointing!
I can highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Boston. Here are the ratings on Tripadvisor:

After some refreshing, we went for dinner to Moxies. It offered a great view and the food was also satisfying:

We all needed a good night of sleep after the travelling! The next day, I walked to my brother’s graduation. It took me four hours to get there and I gained a lot of impressions. Here are the photos:

For dinner, we went to Barcelona Wine Bar and had some great food. I did not take many photos:

Afterwards, we went to a bar next to the restaurant and it was amazing. They had a DJ playing on vinyl and the cocktails were stunning. The Espresso Martini was one of the best ones I have ever had!

The next day, I spent it with one of my brothers and we went to the New Balance factory store. I got some great deals and afterwards, we grabbed a beer at a local brewery.

For the nighttime, we went to a different brewery for food and beers. It was a great vibe and the big beer garden was packed with people!

After our last night in Boston, I picked up my rental car for the rest of the trip. It was time to drive to the Cape Cod and enjoy some early summertime. This will be featured in my next journal!
