we are driving from baltimore marlyand to portland maine. what are some must sees if I've never been here?

Answer 1

1. The wedding cake house in Kennebunkport, ME on route 35.
2. Ogunquit beach on route 1. Gorgeous white sand!
3. O'Naturals Restaurant in Portland. Delicious organic, all natural food.
4. Water Country Water Park in Portsmouth, NH on route 1.
5. Old Orchard Beach, Maine off of exit 36 on I-95. A beautiful beach with an amusement park and a pier, plus the warmest ocean water you'll find on the Maine Coast.
6. Long Sands Beach in York, ME. The road winds along the sandy beach for about 5 miles, and it is gorgeous any time of the day.
7. Maine State Pier in Portland, ME. You can go on a cruise on the harbor for very cheap from here (they have mail boats that go out to the island residents that you can ride for little $).
8. Eastern Promenade, Portland, ME. It's a hill that overlooks the entire harbor, islands, skyline, and distant mountains. Gorgeous at sunset.
9. Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, ME. Probably the most photographed lighthouse in the world. You'll most likely recognize it from somewhere once you've seen it.
10. Quincy Market, Boston. They have specialty stores for just about all kinds of merchandise, plus delicious food.
11. Hampton Beach, NH. A beachside town that hasn't lost it's "summer of 1960" charm, plus beautiful sand that goes on forever and ever.
12. Portsmouth, NH. They always have some sort of festival or other thing going on downtown. Right off of route 1.
13. The Old Port, Portland, ME. Park the car and walk around, there are all sorts of nice little shops in 18th century seaport-style buildings and cobblestone streets. Just ask anyone where the old port is, you can't miss it.
14. Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME. (if you like art :-) )
15. The Victoria Mansion, Portland, ME. (an old victorian mansion-turned-museum)
16. Pizza by Alex, Biddeford, ME, off exit 32. A little out of the way, but the best pizza around.
17. David's Restaurant, Monument Square, Portland, ME. Wonderful food, but a little pricy.
18. The Kittery Outlet Stores, Kittery, ME. Just off I-95 in Kittery.
19. The L.L. Bean Outlet Store in Freeport, ME. They're open 24/7, about 15 miles north of Portland.
20. Perkins Cove, Ogunquit, ME. An old-fashioned fishing village that is now a small cluster of shops, very charismatic. Also walk the nearby Marginal Way, which is a path that winds around the sea cliffs.

Hope this helps! And bring warm clothes, it can get a little chilly at night in Portland.

Answer 2

if you ever want to get home, stay out of NYC. Boston is good, but make sure you have good current directions. the streets tend to change. Philly is also good you could look into touring some of the Ivy league schools (ie Penn, Haravard, Yale) if you go to boston, go on the freedom trail, if you can get a guide, you should. i also recommend touring Fenway Park if you have any intrest

Answer 3

Gettysburg PA

Answer 4

What routes are you taking? (Quickest? - 95, 295, 395, 495... or a more "scenic route" -- and what would that be?)

Answer 5

You gotta stop in NYC and Boston, and if it's not too far away, Philadelphia.
