Easy Route - Stay on 95 North until it hits the Boston beltway (!!!). 
Takes 10+ hours, expecially if you hit Philly, NYC or Providence
at the wrong time. Probably runs about $5 in tolls.

Best Route - take 95N to NJ TP, exit 11 Garden State Parkway to 
Tappanzee Bridge, 687 towards White Plains, then I-84 through Hartford 
and to the Mass Pike at about Worcester. I have done this route in 8 
hours door-to-door, but I got pulled over in Connecticut D-} It does 
run closer to $15 in tolls (two turnpikes, two bridges, a tunnel, and 
the mysterious "Thanks for spending 5 minutes in Delaware" toll). The 
NYC bypass is a little tricky. I recommend at least a state map. This 
avoids the worst of NYC traffic, but does run right smack into 
Hartford.  Recommended stops: Maryland House, The Clara Barton Rest 
Stop on the NJTP, and the McDonalds in the shopping center at the 
Waterbury exit on I-84 (That's if you're driving straight through by 
yourself). Hope this helps.
