I've lived in the Boston area for 14 years. Here are 5 things that live up to the hype and 2 I tell first-timers to skip.

The Boston Public Library, which dates back to 1848, features a beautiful central building in Copley Square with grand murals and fascinating exhibitions. McKim Courtyard, situated right in the middle, provides a perfect place to take a peaceful moment to relax before or after strolling through the stacks. The best part is that the library is free and open to the public.

My mom and I have gone on a trip together every year for the past decade. We've mastered the art of planning them.

Moving out of my parents' house in Connecticut to take my first "big girl" job in Manhattan wasn't easy. I'm an only child, and my mom and I have always been close; we missed spending so much time together. So, the move inspired us to make a promise that's become one of my most beloved traditions: Every year, we'll plan a special getaway, just the two of us.
