New England with 8yr old AND baby...

Would that be mad? This October, 2 weeks. Circumstances have meant this is fairly last minute.

We're not 100% tied to a destination but am wondering if that kind of holiday (bit of everything, 2-3 locations, car hire) would be just as doable as supervising a very active 12mth old in a pool/beach scenario in the canaries (which was my initial plan). It would also tick the boxes of somewhere I've always wanted to go, and most importantly will hopefully be interesting for 8year old. I don't want to create a massive stress or disappointment though. For further context if it matters we are in the 'can comfortably afford holidays but not multiple or big holidays every year' bracket.

Anyway, let me know how naive I'm being! Any further tips will be very gratefully received!

I was sent this story today and thought of this thread

www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/summer-maine-weekend-getaways-vacation-places-to-visit

I've been to all of these places except Gulf Hagas (it's on my list, but it's really very inaccessible) and I'd recommend them all.

Please tip hotel maids. They are mostly hard-working immigrants who enhance your environment for minimum wage. It's good karma, which might come in handy if you leave your cell phone or something embarrassing behind in your room. Not saying they wouldn't do the right thing without a tip. But it couldn't hurt to show some kindness.
