Last minute Christmas in Boston - Suggestions Sought
Hubby and I are taking a last minute Christmas trip to Boston. Fly in the weekend before, head home on the 28th. We’re all set in Boston, but would like suggestions for a short trip for the 26th-28th. I’m not a skier, but love the mountains. We’ve also looked at Portsmouth or somewhere in RI. We don’t need a lot to do, but some shops, restaurants in the area would be nice. Any suggestions? TIA for the help

Newport RI - easy drive down Route 24 - maybe hour or a bit more from the city...look and see what holiday events the various mansions are having there. It's worth touring two of the mansions (they get repetitive after that) and it's a nice little seaport town with quaint shops.

Portsmouth NH has plenty of shops and eateries, though not many attractions will be open (the submarine USS Albacore and Strawbery Banke may be open, though not much else).
Portland ME is another good choice. Lots of restaurants and stores, and the Portland Art Museum will likely be open.
