We have a house up further in Maine & I can tell you if you stay on the coastal areas, especially in the summer months, you will always find things to do.

Check out these towns:
Old Orchard: amusement parks, lighthouses, museums, nature walks

Freeport: Outlet shopping

Kittery, Kennebunkport, Ogunquit

Here is a website with all attractions in southern Maine

I am not sure what would be better in terms of an RV or a Van. Do you guys plan on staying in hotels or camping???

I go to Northern NH each summer (I have a friend who lives up there).

Being that you are only going to be in NH for a day - it's a lot of driving to just go to Storyland - if the only child travelling with you is an 18 month old IMO. If you want to spend another day in NH before you make the trip - it may be worth it You can take a Gondola ride up Wildcat Mountain, climb Mount Washington, shop in North Conway (similar stores though to the ones in Maine) and there are a few more small amusement parks. There's also the North Conway Scenic Railroad (haven't ever done it but, it seems to be quite popular).
