If you can't find stuff to do in Boston for a day trip, you would be
weird... The hard part would be what to see in just a day... (our church
youth group went up for a week this spring, and they had trouble picking
what they would see and what they wouldn't).

A few things which I would reccomend:

the USS Constitution
architechture in and around Boston
Lexington & Concord  (hm, I wonder if I could scrounge up mini-figs to
design a Old North Bridge Lego scene...)
