Day 1

HARRISBURG PA:

Join Christian Tours as we step back in time in the baked bean state, Massachusetts. Filled with attractive and popular destinations, like Boston, Plymouth, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Salem, this amazing state also has some very interesting hidden gems. Today we travel to Harrisburg PA for our first overnight stay.

Day 2

POUGHKEEPSIE NY • WALKWAY OVER THE HUDSON • FDR PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM • DINNER:

Traveling north into New York, we arrive in Poughkeepsie just in time to enjoy lunch on our own. Then take a walk across the Hudson River on the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge. Our next stop reflects on the life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of our country. FDR Presidential Library and Museum, located on the eastern shore of the Hudson River, holds special interactive exhibits and rarely seen artifacts that convey the dramatic story of the Roosevelt era. Check out the keepsakes in the Museum Store before we depart for dinner. (D)

Day 3

VANDERBILT MANSION • THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA • HUDSON RIVER CRUISE • STURBRIDGE PA:

We enjoy a scenic drive this morning as we make our way to Hyde Park for the day. First, we visit the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, over-looking the Hudson River. The mansion was built in 1896 and was the home of Frederick and Louise Vanderbilt. A delightful luncheon is planned today at the Culinary Institute of America. This afternoon, we enjoy a narrated cruise of the Hudson Highlands. Relax in a fully enclosed, climate controlled main salon while enjoying the panorama of the majestic Hudson River through huge wrap around windows or enjoy the passing scenery from spacious sun decks. We travel on towards Sturbridge where we check in to our hotel for three nights stay. (L)

Day 4

OLD STURBRIDGE VILLAGE • LUNCH • THE BIG E!:

Travel back in time to Old Sturbridge Village – the largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast, depicting a rural New England town of the 1830's. Step inside more than 40 original buildings and speak with authentically-costumed historians and see heritage breed farm animals. Enjoy a delicious lunch coupled with an entertaining presentation! This afternoon and evening, it's a fair to remember – The Big E!! Take all 6 New England States, add in their unique food specialties, horse shows, specialty tents, a midway, a circus, a parade and live music, and we can expect a magnificent afternoon and evening.

Day 5

BOSTON TOUR • QUINCY MARKET • DINNER:

Today we are off to Boston, home of the American Revolution, the Boston Red Sox and more cultural events than we have time to experience. Walk along Freedom Trail as we visit some of the famous landmarks of the Revolution like Paul Revere's house, Old North Church and Faneuil Hall. Take time to explore Quincy Market and grab lunch at one of the restaurants before we continue our tour. Check out Beacon Hill, the most photographed street in the US and America's oldest college, Harvard University. Snap some photos of Fenway Park. Wear comfy shoes because there's so much to see in this town! Dinner is included tonight. (D)

Day 6

THE COTTAGES AT THE BERKSHIRES • STOCKBRIDGE MA • NORMAN ROCKWELL MUSEUM AND STUDIO •EDGEWOOD MD:

The Berkshires are calling us! During America's Gilded Age, the post-Civil War and post-Reconstruction era, the nation's wealthiest families built monumental country estates in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. The first time you see a Berkshire Cottage you may wonder, “What is that?” because the “cottage” may now be a luxury hotel, a house museum, or even a restaurant. Or it may still be what long ago it was built to be—a private home. Be prepared to be amazed at the grandeur and take lots of photos! Stockbridge is the quintessential New England village nestled in the Berkshires Mountains and where Norman Rockwell settled down to create his amazing body of work. We have time for lunch on our own as we explore Stockbridge. The Norman Rockwell Museum and Studio house the largest collection of his works, including all his Saturday Evening Post covers. It may surprise you how prolific he was and the depth of meaning and effort he put into each work. Then it's time to board our motorcoach and travel to Edgewood Maryland as we begin our journey south.
