Green Flag

Football is the great American pastime and while I enjoy watching football, I love going to see football games live. The energy of the crowd and the excitement of the arena aren’t real until you are sitting on the bleachers watching your favorite team, listening to the roar of the crowd. While my husband favors watching football from the comfort of our living room couch, I like to take in the whole experience. Traveling to Foxborough, Massachusetts, I wait for my favorite team, the New England Patriots, to kick off as I tailgate with my husband and our friends.

I’ve always been a fan of the New England Patriots but now that Tom Brady is the quarterback, I am even more interested in following the team. While my crush on Tom solidified my love of the Patriots, I also enjoy the time with my family and friends as we cheer the New England Patriots on to victory. We’ve made a family tradition of traveling to Foxborough the night before a big game, spending the night in a local hotel, waking up early to catch a big breakfast and get to Gillette Stadium early to set up our tailgating spot. We barbeque hotdogs and chat with friends. The kids run around with their friends and the men start playing a game of touch football. Just thinking about the fun we have makes me ready for some football right now.

New England is filled with some of the most breathing taking scenery across our beautiful country. I realize I am biased because I was raised in New England but the six states which make up the region are filled with a charm unique to the Northeast portion of the United States. If you find yourself moving to the Northeast and becoming a New Englander, there are several must see sights you need to visit.

The first place you must visit is Boston. The largest city in New England and a hub of activity in the region, visiting the sights and sounds of the bustling city of Boston will be a joy. Walking the streets of historic Boston and taking in a Red Sox game, even if you aren’t a fan of the sport, is a must see.

Continuing to take in sports hotspots, visiting the suburb of Foxborough to see the New England Patriots play a home football game is a fun adventure for the whole family.

Historic spots and sightseeing destinations worthy of a visit include the home of Mark Twain in Hartford Connecticut or the Mystic Sea Harbor and Military base in Groton CT. Seeing the fall foliage in the mountains of Massachusetts will thrill the eye as you see the trees line the Berkshires Mountains in the autumn. Relocating to New England can be a thrilling adventure filled with lots of things to do and beautiful destinations to visit.
