As we suggested yesterday, there are more than a few fun Labor Day weekend getaways--like a greek festival, a laser show, and a regatta, all happening around Boston, Rhode Island and the Seacost New Hampshire area. However, if you're looking to stay a little closer to town, there is still plenty to do.
