[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd drive the whole thing.  yes, it's long but the cost of the flights plus rental car for everyone dissuade me.

I lived in Boston for the last 11 years.  We love the beaches in Maine all the way up the coast.  York Beach is quaint - a beach, a small town, and a dinky theme park that is super cheap and fun for kids (go-karts, little kid rides).  It's about 1.5 hours from Boston, depending where you start.  You could break up the drive from Boston to Acadia that way.

Book hotels NOW.  You are maybe a little late, actually.

Boston itself - eh, I mean, I love it and my kids love it because we see friends, and my 6 year old is a Hamilton freak so the freedom trail stuff is fun for him when we go back to visit (we get cannolis in the north end and see Old North Church, we check out the graveyard at Park Street Church, we saw the site of the tea party).  We go back up to visit every 6 months.

I think you will get more out of Acadia if you camp, but I know you said you don't like roughing it.

Enjoy!  We are contemplating a similar trip for our summer trip up to New England.[/quote]
