Quick Escapes Boston, 2nd: 25 Weekend Getaways from the Hub (Quick Escapes Series)

Pack your bags, grab this guide, and hit the road to twenty-five convenient mini-vacations in New England, Quebec, and New York City. Enjoy a cultural smorgasbord and visit the Norman Rockwell Museum, take in a summer concert at Tanglewood, and experience an "off-off-off Broadway" theater in The Berkshires escapes. Challenge the rapids on a white-water raft through dramatic Kennebec Gorge, pamper yourself in a hideaway spa turned inn, and mine the rugged hills of Maine for semi precious stones in the Interior Escape. Step back in time and explore opulent mansions from the Gilded Age and sail away on the Madeleine for a "sight sailing" tour of Newport in the Coast to Coast escape. This guide includes: detailed route maps, travel directions, destination highlights, activities for morning, afternoon and evening, choice restaurants, picnic sites, and lodgings, special events and festivals, shopping, and local sources of information.
