North Conway, New Hampshire—outlets, great restaurants, a train that you can ride through the mountains, quaint shops—and is about 1 1/2 hours away.
Driving from Delaware, it takes us around 8 hours to get there. That is with 2 small kids and lots of rest stops. We've made it in as little as 7.5 hours and once it took us 10 (got stuck in stand-still traffic from an accident on the George Washington Bridge). There are great stops from here to there, one being the Yankee Candle Factory in Deerfield, Massachusetts—it is right off the highway. They have picnic tables, you can tour the factory, dip candles with the kids, buy candles in any scent imaginable, as well as any candle accessory you can think of, and stretch—and you are about 3 hours away when you leave there.
Joe's Pond—you can see just how big it really is.
