How much driving are you willing to do? Arcadia is a good distance from Boston. Are you planning to stay in a hotel in Boston? Very pricey$$$$. Outside the city may be better for travelling. Are you history buffs? Quincy has the birth places of John Adams and John Quincy Adams and the family mansion to see. Plymouth has the Mayflower and "Plymouth Rock" and a great reenactment of Plimoth Plantation(dressed characters and all). A great place to eat on the water in Plymouth is East Bay Grille--not cheap but excellent--I've enjoyed the cod twice! PM me when you are closer to your trip and maybe we could meet for a lunch!
