Celebrate Independence Day in a New City

In the United States, Memorial Day is just a few weeks away, meaning the summer travel season is almost upon us. 

Every year, close to 50 million Americans travel 50 miles or more from home for the July 4th holiday. And this year, I’ll be one of them.

I’m headed to a travel blogging conference the last week of June in Boston. It’ll be my first time in Boston, and I couldn’t be more excited to explore one of the nation’s oldest cities. 

I’m not one to get on a plane and visit just one place, so I thought why not add a stop in Nashville, another city I’m curious about, on my way home. 

The timing is such that I’ll be turning what’s always been more of a holiday spent at home with friends into an adventure in Tennessee, which got me thinking about 4th of July…
