Hey you Yankees! I'm taking my family on a month long trip from Atlanta to Maine (and hopefully back) this Summer. While I have been up to Lake George and have spent some time in the NE region - it has always been on business.
Questions: What do I need to make a priority, in your opinion? Thank you in advance for your thoughts... PS: One caveat: We travel in a big (60' with toad) RV - I can't drive it just anywhere. Tony |

The New England seaside, from RI to Maine, is beautiful during the summer (or the 6 weeks that can qualify as summer). Certainly consider Cape Cod and the National Sea Shore. Probably can't drive your rig on to one of the ferries to the islands (Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket), but you can certainly see them on foot which is still worthwhile.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If you've never been to Cape Cod it's certainly worth going. The ride from Bridge to tip is about 1.5 hrs (-ish...never done it in one shot) and there is a lot to see. Pretty much all National Seashore beaches are nice. Chatham is a nice visit to walk/drive along the shore and see the houses/town. Provincetown is a unique place; in my travels I haven't been anywhere quite like it. Taking the ferry to MV, Nantucket, or Block Island is a really nice day trip. Like has been said you do not need a car for any of them. If you have bikes it's even better. The last time I took the ferry it was something like $10/person. Note that IMHO, MV and Nantucket are a bit more commercialized. ---------------------------------- Another town well worth seeing is Newport, RI. The town is pretty lively and there are a great collection of gilded-age mansions which belonged to people like the Vanderbuilts, etc. The tours aren't very expensive and are fascinating. I don't think you can see a collection of houses like this anywhere else in the country. You can also take harbor tours and see all of Newport from the water which is a neat experience. http://www.newportmansions.org/ ---------------------------------- If anyone likes airplanes the New England Air Museum in Windsor, CT mentioned before is also really good. I've been to a number of air museums including the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson in Dayton, OH and the Smithsonian, and the NEAM really holds it's own. Last year was the first time I had been despite living locally my entire life and I was really impressed. |
