Reply #11: Oh, there's plenty to do...

If she's into art, the Center For Maine Contemporary Art (http://www.artsmaine.org/) is in Rockport, which is about an 80 minute drive from Freeport. About 10 minutes from Rockport is Rockland, home of the Farnsworth Art Museum (http://www.farnsworthmuseum.org/). They have a special Wyeth Center, which had a great Wyeth/Warhol/Basquiat exhibition the last time we were there. Rockland also has all kinds of great specialty shops, etc. (including an awesome toy store). Lots of B&Bs there as well.

Freeport isn't that far from Portland, which is an absolutely marvelous city with a great downtown and port area. If your sister has kids, they have a great kids museum there as well. Also an aquarium, although we've never been to that.

Augusta is not too far to the north, and they also have a great kids museum. And an Olive Garden! :)

There's always miniature golf and ice cream in Waterville, although the name of the place escapes me at the moment.

Whatever she does, she needs to go to Gritty McDuff's in Freeport (or Portland) for food and beer.
