Down East
My 19 yr old and I are flying from dc to Boston, meeting DW and 16 yr old at end of college tour and driving up to a rental house near south addison. Are there any restaurants, movie theaters, drug stores in south addison? Must be something. Wikipedia says 1000 people live there.
The house is really pretty, I think, and we have kayaks and bikes, but I'm wondering about what there is to do. We have a night in Boston and another night in route. We'll all drive back together to dc after the week at the house. If anybody knows the area, where do you like to go to hike, swim, eat? What would be a nice stop between Boston and South Addison on a Friday? Thanks!

I would think Portland Maine would be approx half way between Boston & S Addison? We recently spent a whole weekend in Portland and ate very well...

Even if you don't do anything else in Portland, just a stop at Duck Fat for the fries is worth the stop. Just thinking about the fries makes me drool. http://www.duckfat.com/

A good halfway point between Boston and South Addison would be any of the towns along the western side of Penobscot Bay -- Rockland (Farnsworth Art Museum, great restaurants), Camden (lotsa shops), Belfast (funky proto-hippie). Reservations strongly recommended. Samoset Resort in Rockland has swimming, golf, etc.
In South Addison, you might want to visit the studio of the well-known painter John Marin on Cape Split. Otherwise it's a very quiet part of the world, lots of good hiking, kayaking, star gazing, etc.
