East Coast Fall Road Trip - tips?
 

My husband and I are both retired and are planning a road trip to the East coast in mid-September - 2 - 3 weeks - neither of us have been there before - we have taken previous road trips from California through the northern states to Niagara Falls and another through the central states to Florida - this time we plan to fly into maybe Boston and rent a car and travel from there - any suggestions and/or tips are appreciated - e.g., towns to see - restaurants - history - events - etc-
Thank you - Karen

You left Massachusetts out of your tag line but it should be the first one to explore. Lots of history there: Lexington, Concord, the "Patriot Walk" in downtown Boston. "Salem" (Danvers), the Atlantic Coast north of Boston to Gloucester, New Bedford Whaling Museum on the way to Rhode Island and Connecticut. . .

Freedom Trail

Flying into Boston, you can then rent a car and do a little traveling around Cape Cod, Newport,RI, etc. then turn in the car and take the train to NYC. Spend time there and then rent a car and stop in northern coastal New Jersey...Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake...then drive south to Cape May...from there take the ferry to Lewes DE...and end up in Rehoboth Beach.

Those are great suggestions - thanks - love the idea of the train - we will check it out.
