We plan to put more information here soon including directions to and from the hotels and the wedding/reception, but for now, feel free to use the following information to help plan your visit apart from our wedding!

Mark & Melissa

Hotels

Starting with the most important thing for the weekend is where you can stay. We have blocked rooms at two hotels close to the wedding and reception location.

The rooms will be listed under the Moore/Halstead wedding until May 27^th, 2003.

These are just two of about 6 hotels in the same area if you have an interest in staying in another hotel below are a list of others you may find just as comfortable. We have not blocked rooms in these hotels so the cost may be a little higher.

The next important area that needs to be covered is the places to eat. We will break it down by meal type. Included are places Mark and I have personally eaten those will be marked with an asterisk.

Plimoth Plantation’s Pilgrim Village brings to life the Plymouth of 1627. This year was selected because it is well-documented and represents the village just before the colonists began to disperse beyond the first settlement.

Take a trip to Deerfield Massachusetts and visit the factory where the famous Yankee Candles are made. There are plenty of shopping and great lunch places.

This is the home of L.L. Bean and great shopping. Together with friend we have made trips to this area for Christmas shopping and summer cloths. It is about a 2 hour right from Waltham. But once you get there you could be there for hours. There are also some cute areas to stay once you are there.

This is a beautiful area to visit as well. The drive for Waltham is about 3 ½ to 4 hours but there are great stops you can make on the way there. Ben and Jerry’s being one of the best.

If you love to be by the water this is a great place to visit in the summer time. There is sailing and the Mansions. The Mansions are amazing and a have to see, stop by to see them all. You will also want to take a walk along the water on the Cliff Walk.

Experience America’s history at Mystic Seaport, view a world-class aquarium, and thrill at the excitement of the casinos. Dine at fine restaurants and stay in a convenient hotel, quaint inn or bed & breakfast. Enjoy boating, sailing, fishing, or just relaxing on the beach. Shop in the historic downtown, at Olde Mistick Village or Stonington.

Cape Cod is renowned for 559 miles of glorious coastline, quaint villages, scenic byways and a rejuvenating ambiance.  In its 15 towns and scores of villages, visitors find respite from the ordinary. 

New Hampshire is the place to go if you love the outdoors. Whether you are looking for a great place to go hiking, camping or fishing you will find plenty of areas that will accommodate those desires. North Conway is also very well known for its outlet shopping. It is about a 3 hour ride from the Waltham area.
