Massachusetts (pronounced like "massa-WHO-sits") is a coastal gem in the Northeastern United States. Think fall foliage so vibrant it could win a staring contest with a sunset, beaches that beckon you to build sandcastles (or perfect your lobster roll technique), and a city (Boston, of course!) that's a hub of history, culture, and let's not forget, those ridiculously good baked beans.
