I don't live in Boston, but was there just recently... my mother lives in Brookline, which is a pretty nice suburb!
Casey and I had the great pleasure of staying at this wonderful Bed and Breakfast in Brookline. Their hospitality is nothing short of spectacular and the victorian house that it's in is gorgeous! If you're interested, the name of the place is The Beech Tree Inn. Here's the link... The Beech Tree Inn . The inn is just down the street from a "T" stop so you're not too far from transportation, and Beacon St., which is where all the stops are, is loaded with wonderful restaurants and stores. There's even a Trader Joe's!! 
As for what to do... If you like to shop... I definately suggest Quincy Market! Also, Winter Street, which is right downtown, is a good place to go for shopping.
I wasn't going to suggest this, but thought about it and decided to anyway... I'm sure you're able to get great seafood in Florida, and I'm not sure how it compares to the seafood in Boston, although I'm sure it's different considering where in the ocean it's from, but you have got to go to a place down by Quincy Market called Legal Seafood (maybe they have one in Florida?). I wasn't a fan of lobster at all, but was convinced otherwise after the experience I had there. The food was awesome, not to mention the fact that the cooks were more than willing to accomidate my eating restrictions.
PS - The link I gave you for the inn has directions to places and tourist suggestions, so hopefully that will also help you out with what to do while you're visiting.
