Boston: Back to our Beginnings

GREETINGS 3D FRIENDS,

Mark and I invite you to join us to explore Boston, one of the country’s oldest city. Boston has played a central role in U.S. history, from its settlement by the Puritans to its American Revolutionary battles to its storied universities. Rich with history and home to our favorite travel expert Steve Hart of Hart Travel Partners, this fascinating area will allow us to enjoy each other once again with fun and laughter as we get a fresh dose of education and exploration.
