There's some good stuff on that list, but it comes down to timing of your vaccination and the various state requirements that you may be going to...

Follow the CDC guidance (14 days post second dose moves you to being viewed as fully vaccinated, you can travel safely -within- the US) overall and individual state requirements on top of them (if any). CT follows their lead and does not require testing nor quarantine for fully vaccinated persons. You still need to follow the social distancing and mask guidelines, though. Research the individual states where you might want to go.

As far as trips, it depends on if you're looking for just a nice drive, something for you at the destination, or both. NH has a lot of nice drives, especially toward the White Mountains. If you were to head up 93 into Salem and then take 101 W, you could run that all the way past Keene where it meets 9. Keep heading West and then take 91S back into MA. Rt 2 East back toward your neck would be a nice overall drive although much of it would be at "highway speed."

If you want to stay within MA, you could take the Pike to Lee, then head North to Williamstown and drive up one side of Greylock, stop at the summit, then drive down the other side to North Adams. From there, again, take Rt 2 East.

A favorite day trip when I lived in the Nashua area was to go to Wells, ME for mini golf and a stop at Brown's Ice Cream.

If you're looking for a longer trip, consider the Finger Lakes region in NY. LOTS of wineries and such, and there are a number of different ones that offer gatherings on the deck and such. We went for a long weekend a couple of years back and had a great time and enjoyed the scenery immensely.
