And of course there’s Boston.
A charming city of old and new. A city reclaimed from marshland, and full of folks that take their politics and sports seriously.
A city that welcomes visitors with plenty-to-see attractions.
But New England vacations are even more. They're six vacations in one - Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
And here’s a sampler of just twelve ideas and suggestions of things you can do for your New England vacations…
Twelve New England Vacations and Destinations:
> Escape for a vacation or getaway to one of the New England islands such as Block Island - Martha’s Vineyard - Nantucket or one of the Maine islands like Monhegan, Vinalhaven, Matinicus and Isle au Haut.
> Take Cape Cod Vacations and stroll along the Great Beach on the Cape Cod National Seashore one of New England’s remarkable treasures and an unbroken walk of over twenty miles of white sandy beaches teeming with wild life.
>Hike, drive or ride to the summit of Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire - the highest point in the Northeast and known as "home to the world's worst weather."
> Soak up a vacation of New England history in the birthplace of the revolution in Boston - Concord - Lexington, or visit one of our living theme museums at Plymouth Plantation - Sturbridge Village - Mystic Seaport or Strawberry Banke.
> Kayak around the Thimble Islands off the coast on a Connecticut Vacation during the day and then maybe "hit the jackpot" in the evening at the world’s largest casino at Foxwoods Resort in Mystic Country – two unique New England vacations destinations.
> If vacations of quiet water in New England is what you’re after then consider a weeklong canoeing trip along Maine’s Allagash Waterway Wilderness – one of the last opportunities in New England to experience the remoteness of the vast northern forests. And for other Maine Vacations the breathtaking coastal beauty of Acadia National Park "quiets the mind" and recharges the batteries for another year.
> Tour the New Hampshire Lakes region and visit Squam Lakes – the location of the film “On Golden Pond” and take a 21/2 hour cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee - the largest and one of the deepest lakes to visit on a New Hampshire Vacation . And if lakes are your preference for New England vacations, then consider beautiful Lake Champlain for a Vermont Vacation or Moosehead Lake, deep in the Maine Woods.
> Take a trip back in time to the “Gilded Age” and visit one or more of the Newport Mansions in Newport Rhode Island . And explore this historic town with a stroll along the famous Cliff Walk and 10-mile Ocean Drive.
> Fast becoming a favorite among families is a Berkshires Vacation in western Massachusetts where the scenic rolling hills provide plentiful outdoor activities by day and the villages and towns spring to cultural life by night. For lodging you can choose to stay in a historic stagecoach Inn at Stockbridge or be pampered in an exclusive resort and spa in Lennox.

> Getaway to South County Rhode Island and enjoy one of those secret New England vacation destinations popular with locals for eons but unknown to most everybody else. Famed for its great beaches - just ask any URI student - young family attractions, outstanding wildlife walks and viewing with vibrant towns and villages exciting for kids as well as parents.

> Once a year mother nature visits the region with her artist brushes and creates a dazzling display of colors producing the world famous New England Fall Foliage event.
