Planning a weekend trip to Boston - What to do while we're there?
Hi all! My H and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary at the end of the month and we're planning a last minute trip to Boston (probably a Friday-Sunday). So far the only thing we know we'll be doing is touring the Sam Adams Brewery (lol...priorities!) Can you recommend some fun things to do while we're there? Also restaurants? We're not picky and it doesn't take much to please either of us, so any suggestions will be great!
TIA!

Re: Planning a weekend trip to Boston - What to do while we're there?
Here is my standard list of suggested things to do in Boston:
Duck Tour - http://www.bostonducktours.com. Fun tour that provides a good overview of the city and its history via an amphibious vehicle. Book tix in advance via the web site
Freedom Trail - This walking tour will take you through most of the historic sites of Boston. You can do a guided tour or I've heard there's a downloadable iPod tour so you can do a self-guided thing.
Public Gardens/Boston Common ? Not such a great visit in the winter, but otherwise nice. There's a Make Way for Ducklings bronze statue here that the kiddies might like if you have them.
Beacon Hill/Charles St. ? Quintessential old New England neighborhood with great architecture and quaint little boutiques to shop in. Just a few minutes walk from the Common.
Newbury Street (shopping) ? Just across the street from the Commons. Great for people watching and grabbing a bite to eat too.
Sam Adams or Harpoon Brewery tours
Faneuil Hall ? Historic area now full of shopping and restaurants.
North End ? our Little Italy. Mike's Pastry's cannolis are famous but be prepared for a huge crowd. Modern is another local bakery favorite
Fenway Park
Museum of Science - great exhibits and a domed IMAX theater that's amazing and shows lots of great documentary-style films.
JFK Museum
Children?s Museum ? Really fun for the kids
Art museums ? We have top-notch art museums: Museum of Fine Art, Isebella Stewart Gardner Museum, Institute of Contemporary Art
Whale Watch Tour
Harvard ? Campus is pretty and Harvard Square is fun to walk around
As for places to eat, for a splurgy meal I recommend No. 9 Park. For really splurgy sushi there's O Ya. If you're interested in checking out Chinatown, I recommend East Ocean City for dinner and Hong Kong Eatery for a casual lunch.
Wow! That's a good list!
If you are renting a car you might like the historical towns like Lexington/Concord, Salem, and Plymouth.
