I loved the itineraries! I can't wait to visit some of them. I also liked that a nice variety (price-wise) of restaurants were suggested for most locations. I wish color photos were included; that would make this book a gorgeous thing of beauty.

Thanks to Goodreads giveaways for my copy of Day Trips to review.

Interesting approach for locals to see the New England area. I liked how some trips were themed, like educational, locally made, etc.
