What New England destination should we go to for our 16th anniversary?

[DODI]

In the running: Newport, Block Island. Any other suggestions? Just want a night or two away and not much driving. If you have any recommendations for Newport or Block as far as accommodations, do tell.

Thanks DU!

1. Popham Beach, Maine

My husband's side of the family goes there every summer. They filmed "Message in a Bottle" nearby (Phippsburg, ME)

No kids, maybe the dog. Just REALLY need to get away.

7. How about a weekend in the Berkshires?

There are some lovely bed & breakfasts, and you can't beat the beauty of the countryside. You'll find art galleries, interesting shopping, and oftentimes excellent music at one of the nearby colleges.

4. Nantucket, Marthas Vineyard

if you are looking at Newport, I thought I would throw those in as well.

5. Vermont

We like the Equinox in Manchester. There's lots of good food, fishing, hiking, off roading, shopping and the hotel is old and romantic.

6. Brattleboro VT-- pretty, cool, quiet, nice

Very liberal. Not so touristy that you want to smack the other tourists
