Re: new places... If you've never been to New England but want to experience it I'd say the following for weekend trips... Rte 100 in Vermont: plenty of breweries and hiking in the green mountains. Cape Cod: it's a different world on the outer cape, whale watches, great beaches where you can see seals. Provincetown is a Mecca for the LBTGQ+ community, and it is fantastic for food, people watching, art, and music. Maine: the state is HUGE compared to the rest of New England. Acadia National Park is awesome but it's around six hours by car from Worcester. New Hampshire: White Mountains for hiking (leave Mt. Washington to the professionals), Lake Winnipesaukee for inland water sports, Hampton Beach has a huge boardwalk and a nice beach but be prepared to freeze your nuts off in the Atlantic Ocean.

Or... You could stay at home and bake the day away since pot is legal and dispensaries are everywhere!
