If you like boats and have the time, there's the Wooden Boat Museum in Clinton NY, just west of that bridge, and camping at a state park near the Eisenhower Lock outside Messina NY is a treat.  You drive UNDER the lock to reach the campground and from some sites can watch huge lake boats approaching and departing, and there's the lock visitor center.  From the look of that bridge, I expect it's a white knuckle drive in a Westy.
There's the Ben and Jerry place in Waterbury Center VT, just off the interstate out of Burlington.

That crossing north of Kingston, the 1000's Islands area, is beautiful!! We
take that crossing when we go visit my sister in Watertown, NY. It's
usually not real busy either.

If you're heading to the coast then I would suggest Bar Harbor, ME, Camden,
ME is beautiful, and Portland is nice too. There are lots of little towns
along the coast as well.

I can't say enough about Camden adn Bar Harbor.

Thanks,

Jeff
