But make sure that on your way you meander slowly on the back roads of Vermont, and spend an afternoon at least in Burlington (dining suggestion: _Taste of Burlington_ on the lakefront.
A horrible trite name but a great but unpretentious restaurant). The Eastern Townships area to the southeast of Montr��al in Quebec also wonderful for exploring, and, believe it or not, there are some wineries there (centered on the town of Dunham); also some lovely inns and B_Bs; you can stay at one and drive to Montr��al to taste the city (trying to do Montr��al in a weekend is like trying to do all of N.Y.C. in a weekend!!)
Lake Winnipesauke, NH
Wells, Maine *Maine is beautiful
Campden, Maine
There are nice resorts and b_b_s in Vermont.
You could go horseback riding.
There are places in upstate NY to visit.
Philadelphia, PA is almost 6 hours from Boston.
There is a lot to do there.
There looks like there is a nice resort in Woodstock, VT with a lot to do in the area that is close by.
I found it by googling, romantic weekend getaways in New England. I almost booked a weekend trip there but they want to charge my credit card in advance (2+ months) and I_m not ok with that.
Hope you two have a great vacation no matter where you end up.
Montreal - good for someone looking for the _European_ experience. If you like trying to find your way in foreign locales, this is a beautiful city. I stayed in an awesome place in Montreal.

We saved a lot of money staying here over a hotel, and I enjoyed it so much more!
Burlington, VT - still in the city, but significantly less foreign! :D Amazing restaurants, plenty to see and do. Don_t miss Penny Cluse Cafe. Yum!
Northeast Kingdom, VT - If you really like to take it to the backroads and explore the New England countryside, this is the place to do it. I_ve got a few fantastic routes mapped out if you_re interested. I tend to prefer the quiet side of a vacation. Hiking, swimming, etc. More than enough of that up there. Lake Willoughby was suggested and that_s a part of this corner of VT. It_s an amazing glacier lake flanked by two mountains. The town of Burke is a nice place to stay...especially any of the places on Darling Hill Road! If you like camping, Belview Campground is a great spot in Barton, VT on Crystal Lake. It_s closer to the highway and a short drive from Lake Willoughby and Burke.
Essex, Clinton, Madison, Old Saybrook, CT - If you like the beach/ocean experience, these are nice areas along the Sound.
maine is definitely a good choice--depending on what you like to do you can sit on a beach, any outdoor activity*rafting, kayaking, hiking) or party in portland
It is SO nice there!
