I think a history road trip would be lots more fun than sitting on a beach.
I recommend New York City. Go to lower Manhattan, the World Trade Center site, catch a Broadway show; you would absolutely have a great time. Go to Wicked - I think it’s still playing.
Then make your way up the Hudson River Valley - catch West Point and then the Lake George area - stay at the Sacandaga on Lake George for a night or two - it is gorgeous. Being from Texas, you would love the scenery there as a contrast to what you are used to.
There are LOTS of revolutionary war sites to visit in upstate New York if you like history.
Congratulations!! I love that you are not planning the typical let’s conform and do what everyone else is doing type honeymoon.

Completely agree. Truth is beaches/Carribean ARE extremely “typical” honeymoons, never mind vacations. Heck, most people within 3 hrs of a beach will just go to that same place every single year. People are shocked when we recite all the things we saw on our honeymoon (never mind our subsequent vacations - curtailed while we get the child up to speed), never mind the sort of snobby reaction like “oohhh....huh....that’s all you did?” As if sitting on beaches of a very constrictive (3rd-world) island is the ultimate in fun. And not all us women are “beach” people or shopping people (as if you don’t already do all that at the mall all the time). My husband and I had much more fun traipsing around seeing different sites and talking about them then having nothing to talk about but sand and casinos and bars. A week of that is dull.
