Michael Dutton of Linden Park Publishers tells us:

"I'm sure the trees of Harvard are very lovely, indeed. However, having lived in Newport for 13 years ... well, many of the trees in Newport were brought back by sea captains from around the globe and would not fare very well elsewhere in the continental United States."

We had a great time rafting with Magic Falls in June. Excellent outfit that should survive the economic downturn just by the repeat customers that return year after year for rafting! I took 5 teenagers and lived to tell the tale! - DayTripper Diva

I grew up in this area and there is a few more beaches for the tidal pooling set -

Check out:
All In Rockport: Loblolly cove - perfect tidaling spot for seaglass, shells and quiet contemplation (my house is the old Inn on the hill! :)
Pebble Beach - down from Loblolly -a favorite, calm beach for scuba divers and rocky discoveries.
Long and Cape Hedge Beach for sandy beach fun!

You need to add Kitchen Little to your list. Excellent, excellent breakfast!
Tiny, tiny place, but a nice outdoor seating area (you'll share a table with other diners outside) right on the water so kids can watch the boats going by. Outside, the ground is just rocks, so my 3 1/2 year old was infinitely entertained sitting under the table making rock piles while we waited for our delicious food! Coffees pretty good, too.

Chose Parlee to renew our annual strawberry picking tradition for the first time since having kids. We had a great time at the petting zoo (goats in trees!) and the fields were perfect. Plenty of ripe berries to be had.

I did check on the ice cream as well. I was pretty sure it was Richardsn's from the flavors: Moose Tracks and Maine Black Bear gave it away. I asked the server and it is in fact Richardson's.

This is the farm that we go to in the fall for our annual apple picking outing. It is wonderful!!! Free hayride to and from the field for apple and pumpkin picking. In the fall there are gorgeous pick your own flowers. They also have a hay maze the kids can play on, as well as feeding the animals (sometimes however the feed bins run out of food later in the day) - bring lots of quarters if your kids really are into this. They have chickens, goats, bunnies, etc. The food from the kitchen always smells wonderful (sometimes we get there too late and they have run out of a certain food, so if you are interested - get the food before you go to the field).
I definately would recommend.

Accidential day trips are the best! You have no expectations so everything goes! Even when they turn out not-so-good, those are the trips that ends up being one of those family stories that is repeated at every family gatherings.

This is a fantastic outing with small kids! The paths are very easy for little ones and looking for the sculptures throughout make for a fun game. The interactive sculpture building area was also a lot of fun.
