It all depends on the kinds of things you are interested in shooting. If you are interested in great people shots, Provincetown provides all kinds of colorful people, activities and unique architecture.....if you do go here, do so with a very open mind! In Boston, Fanuel Hall is great fun on the days the fish market folk are out and about.....hmm..can you tell I love to just catch people doing what they do best without being observed?   :) Oh and hey, if you are making your way to Maine, some of the logging roads provide absolutely GORGEOUS scenery as well as solitude.

If Vermont is anywhere on your list, there is a small unique college located in Bennington, Vermont called Southern Vermont College. This college was once the summer home to the man who invented the bottle cap for Coca-Cola. The actual college is an old stone mansion with some incredible stonework in the back. There are great old stories about the place being haunted and several indications that this could be true.....worth poking around! If you are really making a day trip of it, hike up the mountain behind the school to go splunking in the caves......

If by chance you head on down to Rhode Island, there is a small park on Jamestown Island called Beavertail. It is one of my top 3 favorites places in the entire world. Not many tourists, an old lighthouse, rocks to climb down, ledges to sit upon while waves crash all around you, tidal pools to explore.....yep...definately worth the drive down to RI.

Lots of great things to shoot in New England...Enjoy your trip!
