SACO RIVER CANOE TRIP! You can canoe or kayak. It's pretty reasonable pricing depending on how long you want to do it. Well worth the relaxing sound of the water gently slapping the side of your boat as the warm Summer sun shines on your nose. Don't forget the SPF! Sacorivercanoe.com

LEN LIBBY'S CHOCOLATE MOOSE: FREE!! Never seen a chocolate moose before? Head over to Len Libby in Scarborough. "Lenny" the moose is 1,700 pounds of milk chocolate and definitely a sight to see for kids as well as adults. They will love seeing the pond made of white chocolate, trust me.
