Come back to Boston! If you limited yourself to the Freedom Trail, you missed the Emerald Necklace, a 7+ mile-long series of interconnecting parks, laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted.

 

There's always D.C. too. This time of year, you'd hit a bit warmer weather than the northeast!

CT has quite a few cities that might interest. Groton area has submarine museam as well as Mystic Seaport and aquarium. Then there are the Revolutionary war sites throughout CT. If done in the fall, there is also apple picking.

 

So many things to do in the Northeast....

You may want to consider "The Industrial Heritage Trail" of Minsi Trails Council. The hike is along the Lehigh in the towns just north of Allentown. Amoung the sights is what used to be the "silk capital" of the United States, the summer home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and the foundation of the cement industry, the first limestone kilns in the colonies

Baltimore.

City Industry Museum. Flag House. Fort McHenry. Maryland Science Museum. Waterfront includes National Aquarium, Lightship Chesapeake, USCGC Taney (WW2), USS Torsk, (WW2sub), and USS Constellation (civil war sloop o'war). All within about a 7 mile circuit. Arrange for overnight on one of the ships (recommend the Constellation!)

See www.constellation.org They can send you mucho tourist stuff, too. Get apatch!

 

B&O RR Museum , abit further off, but worth the visit. Take the bus...
