add another destination?

[orangerful]

Okay, so I'm going to be totally INSANE (and clearly not thrifty) this year and drive from Maryland to Maine for the annual lobster bake with my grandparents and Maine relatives. Right now, the only places I have down are Six Flags in New Jersey for a day, and then Boston (to pick-up bittertwee), but I'd like to add maybe one or two other stops.

I'm not really a big fan of New York City, but right now I'm pondering the idea of sneaking in to go to Bobby Flay's restaurant.

So, I need some cool places to stop. It will be me, AD, and my brother.

I asked a friend of mine and he suggested going up the coast, and maybe hitting Rehoboth Beach, Mystic Seaport in Conn., and maybe Newport RI.

Don't know if that would appeal- It looks kind of museum/shops/boat oriented.

Also, have you looked at the low-budget (read: younger/more hip) travel guides like Lonely Planet? I imagine whatever there is to do, it's there.

I know you aren't fond of NYC, but has Vincent been there? If he likes Georgetown, I would think in the East and West Villages he would think he'd died and gone to heaven. Also Williamsburg- I've only seen it for a couple of minutes late at night in the rain while running between a club and the subway, but if it's anything like I imagine, he'd like that too. (moderate chance I'd join you guys if you went that route :-) but don't plan around it)

Oh, and Philly. I might have mentioned that in my email already. I know nothing about it, except that I believe it's getting "revitalized".

I'm using my Stuart icon on this post in honor of the 2 year anniversary since I last saw B&S :-(
