I need your help. What Should I do? Day trips needed!

My hubby and I have just booked a room @ the Youngtown Inn in Lincolnville 2 days ago as a spontaneous get away (think throwing a dart at a map) from July 29-Aug 2nd and are completely unfamiliar with this part of Maine. What are the best day trips for the surrounding area? Also what do you think of the Inn?

Thanks,

i don%26#39;t know about the inn, but while you%26#39;re in Lincolnville, you MUST eat at Chez Michelle. Camden and Rockland are both great towns to play tourist in. Go to the Farnsworth Museum, especially if you are Wyeth fans. You%26#39;ll arrive in time for blueberry season - I recommend Brodis Blueberries in Hope. If you golf, the Samoset Resort is a beautiful spot - overlooking the breakwater in Rockport. As I look at your dates, I think you may be in the area for the lobster festival. If you tire of the Camden/Rockport area, head south to Wiscasset or Boothbay. Hope you have a great trip!

If the weather is clear, I%26#39;d consider visiting Monhegan Island. You can catch the boat from Port Clyde.

(http://www.monheganboat.com/).

If you take the 10:30am boat to Monhegan and the 4:30 boat back, you should have plenty of time to see most of the island. The boat ride back is roughly an hour so you can make it back to Camden for dinner.

Port Clyde is not far from Camden/Lincolnville but make sure and give yourself plenty of time for the drive. Before you board, grab some sandwiches at the Port Clyde General Store for a picnic. Also be sure and check out the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde.

You could climb Mt. Battie, or take the ferry to Isleboro to see where J Travolta %26amp; Kirstie Alley have homes...and be sure to drive down to THomaston for Waterman%26#39;s Beach lobster %26amp; homemade pie.

If you get a rainy day, drive Route 3 out to Augusta and visit the Maine State Museum. Stop at John%26#39;s Homemade Ice cream on the way (and on the way back- yum!)

Visit Belfast, 15 minutes north of Camden, for breakfast at Chase%26#39;s Daily - while you wait for your table - yes you will have to wait but it%26#39;s worth it - visit the gallerys in town for a souvenir to hang on your wall reminding you of Maine.

Thanks for the great ideas !!! I%26#39;m sure that we will be giving tose a try.
