6-8 days in New England early-mid October recommendations?

[mummabear18]

Looking for any tips of where to visit, must-dos, what scenic driving routes to take to for the fall, where to eat, where to stay...Literally anything.

I’ve started searching online but it’s overwhelming. I’ll be 5 months pregnant and we have a near 3 year old in tow.

Definitely recommend driving along the coast up from Boston to Acadia National Park — vibrant foliage on one side and beaches on the other. We did The Essex Coastal Scenic Byway and the Coastal Byway (signed as Route 1)). After a couple of nights in Acadia, we then stayed close to the White Mountains, and did a day in Story Land for the dc, the Conway Scenic Railroad.

You might find nice accommodation difficult to come by for this year. You are looking at peak season and it’s now August. Not sure a 3 year old would love scenic drones either. Why not base yourself in one area and drive out every day? Try and find something to amuse your 3 year old. Lonely Planet always have good family suggestions.
