Planning Fall Foliage Family Driving Trip

I would love suggestions from you all for routes I could take with my husband and 8%26amp;4 year old daughters. We%26#39;re going to be in New England the 1st two weeks in October. I%26#39;d love to stay in bed and breakfasts, maybe on working farms. Coming from Los Angeles, this will be a wonderful trip for the girls. Id love to find some special places to discover, maybe off the beaten track. Im not too into touristy locals. More into finding neat places they will remember visiting when they are older. I believe we%26#39;ll fly into Portland, ME and then drive throughout New England from there. Maybe VT, NH, CT, Berkshires, MA, We%26#39;re totally open. As the girls are getting older, it%26#39;ll be harder to take them away from school for two weeks. So, we want to make this trip count. Any recommendations would be great. Bed and Breakfasts, specific routes, special places to visit, food, etc. We%26#39;ll take %26#39;em all. Thanks so much! Cant wait to see what you all have to share!

Stopping over in Tamworth NH would be a great suggestion. It is south of North Conway and is a quaint little village. There are several B%26amp;Bs in town and only minutes away from great fall foilage drives and the Mount Washington Valley. We have a wonderful working farm right in the village, a small river on the edge of town and many historic buildings.


I just bumped into these awesome little maps that helped me get around NE in a scenic way.

The company makes one booklet for each state in NE and there are 7 back road routes mapped out for each.

Each map card gives you scenic back road routes with a map on one side and turn by turn directions on the other side.

These are awesome b/c each map lists the attractions you will pass on each route.

In the back of each booklet is the phone number to the attractions in case you want to visit on a whim and need more info.

I found them on visitnh.gov under things to do...there was a link to the website to the company that sells them.

I purchased mine on line at www.moto-maps.com.
