Then I think Portland and Acadia will be great for you. If you want to hit larger cities on the way, you could, but I'd personally avoid the hassle.

Burlington, VT is a really nice small 'city', but it's not close to Acadia.

It's kind of hard to pass up Boston, since it's right on the way. New England Aquarium, Freedom Trail, Fanueil Hall and marketplace, Swan boats, a Sox game if you can get tickets, good restaurants ....
You don't have to stay long, but a 2-night stop with a full day to putter around would be nice. Or longer if you like it.
