As a former Boston girl I am definitely biased but there's nothing like Spring in New England when the weather is good. To celebrate National Preservation Month next month, the classically charming Emerson Inn by the Sea, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s former vacation retreat in Rockport, Massachusetts has a special Preservation Package. If you find museums and history boring this is not for you but for those interested in learning the history of this classic New England seaside town, the three-night package includes tickets to the Essex Shipbuilding Museum, the Gloucester Maritime Museum, the Cape Ann Historical Society, the Paper House and the Rockport Art Association gallery. After all that museum touring you are going to need a good meal. The package also includes a $50 gift to Woodman's of Essex home to the first fried clams and a $50 gift certificate for dinner in the Grand Cafe, the hotel's restaurant. The package costs $515-1115 per couple and there are 36 guest rooms Of course it is New England so no guarantees on the weather.
