I'm curious too. I was just looking at hotel prices for Boston in September. It was a hell of a lot more than I thought it would be 
ETA: Flight prices aren't bad right now...

I mean, I am going to cast my vote for Boston, but I live here.
DC is fantastic as well though. I always enjoy my trips there.
I will say that it won't be nearly as hot or humid in Boston in August.

Would go with Boston

What would you recommend doing? The week we are thinking about going we can get in a Red Sox game and the first preseason patriot game. Not a fan of either but would love to go for the experience.
What else is fun?

Depends on what you like to do, but there's plenty of great things to do/see. Incredible beer scene, if you're into that. The Saints are playing that first preseason game up here, I can't wait to go to that. There's obviously tons of historic stuff to explore (freedom trail, etc.), and a great food scene.
Boston is also very close to tons of other areas that are easily accessible: Portland Maine and Newport Rhode Island immediately come to mind.
There are also coastal towns that are easy to access by train where you can get lobster right out the water and go on whale watching tours.

DC area is great, but Boston would be really cool to check out.

Boston in August no question. DC likely to be incredibly hot and certainly humid.

i vote Boston. Every time I visit I get depressed that I have to come back to this shite hole called NOLA.

I meant to mention to the OP yesterday: if you post your e-mail, I'd be happy to send you a Boston Guide that I wrote for another poster a while back and have passed out to others here before.

I would never elect to go to DC in summer if your plan is to do tourist stuff

Came to DC last September for a little over a week and it was hot and humid (93 or 95* with 85% humidity), was not a pleasant experience. I'm in the DC area now and it's been pretty nice the past week, but I'd still stick with Boston for August.

Boston. DC is hot and there are lots of tourists in August. Plenty of nice areas to stay in Boston and usually near a "T" station or stop. I prefer Brookline at Coolidge Corner and then travel around from there. There is a nice Marriott Courtyard at that location.
