We went to Washington, DC as part of our honeymoon. We got married in November and it was a great time to go. Everything is open but not overcrowded with tourists.
I've been talking about going to Portsmouth, NH for years. I don't know why it looks so cool to me. Has anyone been there?
If I had unlimited $$ I would go to Puerto Rico for a long weekend. Nice, easy flights from CT and it's warm there!
We go to Portsmouth all the time and love it! DH'S company is based out of there. Lots of shopping, eating, and drinking. And it's close to Kittery ME outlets and York ME beaches.
For a weekend trip, we would head up to VT to see foliage or down to mystic CT to hit up the aquarium and wander through town; I like it in the fall down there. We are south of boston.

Great to know!! I will keep Portsmouth on my list!
We did this for our 1 year anniversary. We had a great time. We went in June though. I've mentioned going back and spending a Christmas there but DH is hesitant. Our cabin was way up in the mountains and any kind of snow/ice would have made it impossible to get up or down. November might be safe though.
We've been there for Christmas. It's beautiful. We stayed near the strip though so we didn't have to worry about snow until we left.
That's good to know. I may have to do some pushing for it. I imagine it is really beautiful.

@kayaldawn91 Frankenmuth is beautiful. Bronners is so cool. I got some really neat ornaments there, and I got one custom decorated for my dog.
goldenlove3 Frankenmuth is a neat little city, and you should definitely go!
Oops I forgot to answer the GTKY!
H and I would love to go to Jackson Hole, but that is really expensive. Realistically, we would be able to go to Michigan (I want to go to Crystal Mountain) or Kentucky. Lexington has a lot going on in the Fall with horse races (Keenland), sightseeing, great restaurants, etc...

I love enjoying summer destinations in the off season. H and I go down the Cape and enjoy bundling up a bit and strolling the empty beaches and sleepy towns. I also love Newport, RI in fall and winter. I've always wanted to go to Gatlinburg especially when I lived in VA, now it would be a bit of a hike. I still hope we can go someday.
I've been wanting to go to the Cape. I get mixed reviews on fall/winter trips there. Is there enough to do and see to make it a week trip in the middle of November?? I have vacation time off with no where to go!!!
I think there's plenty to do if you're happy having a quiet time. There are a lot of places that do close up, but people live there year round so stuff is still open. There are so many little towns to check out, I just like walking around. You can day trip to Nantucket and/Martha's vineyard via ferry. There's Truro vineyard on the cape, Cisco brewery on Nantucket. I love the beach in the winter, just to walk around, grab a blanket and snuggle up and watch the water, etc. it would definitely be a quiet vacation but it would be way cheaper than summer and I think you'd find enough restaurants open, etc. If you want lots of activities, it could be boring, I suppose, or if the weather was bad (usually Nov is still nice enough here, though) you could get stuck inside more than you want. Side note: if anyone ever gets a chance to go to Nantucket for the first weekend in December, for the Christmas Stroll, it's awesome. The rentals are crazy expensive but the whole town opens back up for shopping (great deals actually) and Santa comes up on a boat, stores have Christmas displays and events. Definitely a fun thing, even just for a day.

requiressnacks, I agree with all the Portsmouth recs. I used to live pretty close and we did lots of road trips. It's a lot of fun.
I second joy's Grove Park Inn rec. I don't remember when they start the Gingerbread House Competition, but try to check that out. I also feel like it looks like Hogwarts.
We'd probably do Charleston, SC or finally make it to the NC coast. Back north I also really liked Boston during the holiday season.
