Massachusetts

Whether you need a spring break destination, a cozy weekend getaway, or a cold-weather adventure to break your cabin fever, check out these Northeast destinations for winter's last stand.

The past few months have been a whirlwind of travel for me and my family. Colorado, Texas, Pennsylvania and Maryland were just some of the states I covered!

While I've always enjoyed traveling, the past year was the first that I embraced travel as a passion and looked at every step beyond my front door from a travel writer's perspective. It's pretty amazing to view your travels in that manner. It's not just a vacation, day trip, or field trip, but a way to experience more in life, learn more about myself, and share that with others.

La Salette Shrine in Attleboro, Mass., is more than a holiday light display, it's a winter carnival. With more than 300,000 lights, a hay ride, a carousel, and some seriously yummy hot chocolate, it's a wonderful place to take the family and get into the holiday spirit.

Ships, rocks, cranberries and cemeteries are just some of the sights we enjoyed on our day trip to Plymouth, Mass.
