What's in Boston? All sorts of stuff. Museums, shopping, historic sites. Probably something for just about any interest. I highly recommend it, just don't think about *driving* in the city. Thankfully, it's small enough to walk most places and there's always the T for longer jaunts.
Particular things to check out might include the New England Aquarium, the Museum of Science, the various art museums and colleges/universities (Harvard & MIT are right across the river in Cambridge), Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall, the Bunker Hill Monument, Charlestown Navy Yard (the USS Constitution is there) and lots more. There are all sorts of tour services, including walking tours, trolleys, harbor tours and Duck tours.
Slightly further afield from Boston proper: in Quincy there's all sorts of historic sites related to John & John Quincy Adams as well as the USS Salem at Fore River Shipyard.
The Blue Hills provide some nice hiking not far from the city (and some nice views of the city from the top of Great Blue Hill in Milton).
Heading south, there's Plimoth Plantion and other historic sites in Plymouth and in Fall River, there's Battleship Cove, if you like warships (and haven't gotten tired of them after Charlestown & Fore River).
