You thought of more than I could!

I second these suggestions above, they are some of my favorites! I like
Sturbridge better than Plymoth Plantation.

If you go to the Cape, you could go to Woods Hole (near Falmouth)
Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium. The Aquarium is free and has a hands-on
section for picking up crabs etc. and looking at them under microscopes.
They also feed the seals 2x a day there. There is also a nice garden
overlooking the water a few blocks from the aquarium with a Bell Tower (part
of Catholic church across the street) and a small wooden playground up the
street. Email me if you want more info.

If you go to Hyannis, the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory there had a
self-guided tour and a free bag of chips. My kids really liked it!

The book store above is awesome! I love the remainder rooms (books marked
down)! And the rest of the store is about 20% off retail.

Someone else mentioned Curious George Goes To Wordsworth bookstore in Harvard
Square, Cambridge. A wonderful store and you could go to the Mount Auburn
Cemetery in Cambrige too. Lots of beautiful trees, headstones, famous people
buried there (self-guided tour info too). There is a tower with a great
view too. If you go there, just a mile or so down the street is East
Watertown and lots of little Armenian and Greek shops/bakeries. Yum! Massis
Bakery, Sepal's Restaurant, and others.

Hope that helps,
