Bill, if you are looking for a diversion, consider a weekend in Vermont. Taking into consideration the winter weather for the travel plans , many , many activities. Or, just pleasant stress free visiting.
Two possibilities of many:
***Go to Brattleboro VT I-91 Exit 2 and head West on Route 30 to Manchester, or also head north on Route 100 from Route 30
***Exit 7 West from I-91 to Springfield VT and visit: Precision Valley Corvette Museum, it's free. A return route could be via Chester and then to Manchester. Then back East on Route 30 to Brattleboro and I-91 south

There is a 50's diner attached to the Museum.

The museum was started by an individual that was in the machine tool business which was popular in the area, reason for the name Precision Valley. The manager's name is Roberto Rodriguez, just one great person.
If so inclined, there is something, for me anyway, of spending relaxing time in Vermont. A nice pickup during the winter.......great trip also in the summer. Staying away from the resort and ski lodges , there still are reasonable accomodations. I have always looked for the family owned restaurants, not fancy but friendly, to enjoy and appreciate the pleasures of Vermont and genuine people.
A 3rd possibility is to go South on Route 7 from Manchester VT to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge MA as part of the return trip. Then head East to I-91 South

challenges, other wise it would be referred to as sure-thing taking "
