Our trip to Maine definitely had its highs and lows. Our first day of travel made it all the way to Portland Maine where we stayed one night in a hotel. The next morning we decided to take the coastal route up to Acadia National Park and see all the small Harbour towns along the way. Unfortunately, this route took us a lot longer than expected, but the sites were fun to see and we stopped at a beautiful state park along the way right on the ocean and the kids spent hours digging for shells.
We rolled into our campground later that evening, cooked up some soup and grilled cheese sandwhiches, had a bonfire, and hit the sack.
The rest of the week turned out to be a lot of wet and gray! We spent a lot of time in the car driving around Mount Desert Island (where Acadia National Park is located); took some hikes -- one in which we got separated from each other and me, Jessica, and Greg waited around for about 2 hours until Paul finally found us with the car; tasted some great seafood chowda (spoken w/ a New England accent), and tried not to let the weather get us down.
On our last full day the sun finally burst out and the whole world changed! It was beautiful. We took a fishing boat trip out into Frenchman's Bay and everyone in the family caught a fish except for me. We went back around to all our favorite places on the island that we had discovered so far and took pictures. Below is a slideshow of pictures from the trip.
We are finally home and although we miss the salty air of the wide open sea, we are happy to be in our own comfy beds! :)
