I chose Maine because I've heard it is a very beautiful place with lost of woods. My family I have always wanted to live in the wood with no neighbors. We'll go see some of the most beautiful places in Maine. What we are going to do (itinerary) Day 1: today we will catch a plane to portland when we get there we'll unpack and to get a feel fo what the city is like and out way around.

Day 2: today we are going to several museums,but we will eat breakfast at he hotel then we will go to Victoria mansion after, we are going to Ophelia' s odyssey then we are going to eat lunch at Hurricane's Cafe and deli.then we will finish with a nice break,we are going to go swimming at a pool. When we are ready we probably get ready to go to dinner Dimillo's floating restaurant.

Day3: we are taking a tour of all of Portland and after all that walking we're going back to the hotel to eat lunch then we will probably take naps considering we had to get up at 8A.M. and walked all day. then wen we get up if there is time we will go to the pool but if not my mom order room service

Day4:we are going to the space gallery tour. Then we will go boating out in the ocean and even try catch some fish. For lunch we might eat some of the fish we caught otherwise my mom will make something. then we will more than likley be out until between 6 and 7 when we get home we will eat the fish we caught i we didn't catch anything we will go to a sub shop or something we haven't decided yet.

Day5: we are going to the beach. Casco bay to be exact. We're going to be there all day our lunch plan is simple we having a picnic there we're going to pack lunch meat sandwiches. after that we're going to dinner at Quarterdeck restaurant.

Day6: we will probably wonder around for a little while maybe see a movie then we will go to lunch, return the car and catch the plane home.
