When strolling in places like Plymouth Harbor in Plymouth, Mass., the feeling can make you feel like a million bucks. The other night, I had a chance to walk Plymouth Harbor where the coastal peacefulness, scenery and refreshing twilight on a spring-like day allowed me to powerfully yet gently reconnect with our great state.

Future Plymouth tourists were back home trip planning for the summer, and the waterfront restaurants, while open, took a back seat to the need for a good old-fashioned walk. It felt like having the whole place to myself and each step of the way offered something scenically memorable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7090\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_7090\"
