[quote=Anonymous]Background: going in August. Driving there & rented a house. 3 kids - 8, 5, and 2. Never been to Maine!

Draft Itinerary

Day 1 (Sat.): Arrive / settle in
Day 2: Acadia - drive to Thunder Hole (hang out there), do a hike on Ocean Trail, go to Sand Beach and hang out there (also drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain?)
Day 3: Acadia - drive to Jordan Pond - and hang out and eat lunch there (MAKE RESERVATION & eat popovers), bike on Carriage Road  
Day 4: do land bridge to Bar Island in the morning (checking tides), dinner out & after dinner get ice cream at MDI Ice Cream
Day 5: Eat breakfast at 2 Cats, Diver Ed boat tour (saw these things in past DCUM threads!)
Day 6: Do Shore Path walk, dinner/movie at Reel Pizza Cinema 
Day 7: Leave free for anything we don't get to / decide to do once there
Day 8 (Sat.): Leave

*Don't let me pack too much in on one day.  The kids will need down time too. 
*Is there anything I've listed above that is better to do during the week/not weekend?  The days here are in random order and anything can be swapped for a different day. 
*Any great restaurants?  (Thurston Lobster Pound is on my list although I don't like Lobster!)
*Is there anything great I am missing? 
*Where can we get wild blueberries? (I think there are wild blueberries on the Wonderland or Ship Harbor Nature Trail?  Can I add this too Day 4, 5, or 6, or is that too much?  Are there any wild blueberries anywhere else?)
*The 2 year old naps, but on vacation we usually just wing in with a stroller, car, or carrier on vacation 
*Anyone have strong feelings on bringing or renting bikes?  If bringing, would have to get a bike carrier for the car.  I would like to bike one day, but not too much - the older 2 kids are still newish to non training wheel biking.

I won't leave without trying whoopie pie or Moxie.

Thank you![/quote]
