I'm not a morning person but I was determined to view the sunrise while in Bar Harbor. I set my alarm for 5:50, about 15 minutes before sunrise. However I woke up around 5:30 to a beautiful pink light coming in the room, I walked on the balcony and saw that I wanted to go out immediately. So I made my coffee, got dressed and headed out to the dock.
I was able to view the sunrise through my phone. Once it peeked over the mountain over there it was too bright to look at but easy to view through the phone. I certainly don't regret waking up early for the sunrise. If I can make it back I want to go to Cadillac Mountain for sunrise. That will have to take place without kids though, or at least with older kids... however if we make this trip with the kids in a few years they will be bigger and we will need a bus.
I walked down to the rocks on the beach, slippery but neat.
Today we went back to Acadia to enjoy some more of the park. You just can't beat the views here. I would love to come back and backpack here just so I can take in all the park has to offer.
This is the Precipice Trail, basically a trail that runs up the mountain. It contains handrails and ladders up the mountain. Paul wanted to go do that trail by himself but I told him no, not without me and we were not taking the kids!
The only sand beach in Acadia. The kids loved walking around this area. Back behind those trees was a small lagoon area that the kids enjoyed. The water was COLD so no one actually got in.
My man. 💖
Our next stop was Thunder Hole. This was the highlight of Acadia for the kids. They loved it! This video only shows a small bit of our Thunder Hole experience. Not in the video is about 10 seconds later when dad yelled "Oh No! We gotta get out of there its going to be a big one!" Then him getting stuck and all of us getting soaked. It was a blast. This next video is the extra time the kids spent down there, mom and dad were not interested in any more cold water soaking.
More pictures of the beautiful sights.
Paul said he took this picture because of the hot babe sitting there.
And we completed this Jr Ranger program! Now on to Canada! Before leaving Maine we ate lunch at a Burger King, which had to be the worse Burger King I have ever been to. Not only did they tell me the coupon I had didn't really mean what it said on it, I also heard one of them ask another where the Vodka was. Not the best experience but a memorable one.
At the Canadian border.
Paul almost had a heart attack when he saw gas prices.
We stayed in Saint John that night, Paul wanted a picture of this sign.
We saw deer in a neighborhood, just walking around along the street. So crazy! It was a great end to a fun but full day.
We all need to hangout and hear more stories!
