Our destination was Bar Harbor, ME and Acadia National Park (http://www.nps.gov/acad/). It is an easy drive, but not a particularly exciting one. After a day of driving through the northern Boston area (Concord) and visiting family & friends, we spent the night in Portland, ME. We would leave early and try to be at the park for lunch. Looking at a map, it is Portland to Bangor, ME and make a right; stop when you get to the ocean.
We did stop at the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound for lunch. This was one of the best meals I have EVER had. The lobster is boiled outside in sea water. Accompanied with steamers, corn - basically, the ultimate New England Clambake!
We headed to Acadia to stretch our legs and get a lay of the land. We arrived on a cool cloudy / drizzly day - less than ideal for landscape touring.
We were staying at the Bar Harbor Inn (http://www.barharborinn.com/) for a couple of days. Nice place. Water view and plenty of room. Private balcony overlooking the water. But, not real "kid-friendly". The whole Bar Harbor area seems dependent on the tourist, but want the ones without kids.
