Maine Day Three

Well, day three got off to a bit of a rocky start...John David was up half the night sick. We believe his sickness was due to the shellfish he had along with his lobster! We have learned an important lesson though, no more shellfish for John David! Since he was so sick we didn't leave our hotel until 10:30. Luckily after getting up and eating breakfast he was feeling a lot better and was well enough to drive.

We took it easy heading back to Manchester. We took the scenic route and went through charming towns. We stopped at Wells Beach in south Maine and were amazed by the big beautiful waves there. It was so loud and they just kept coming!







The waves were just beautiful...I took so many pictures..these are just a few of my favorites.


This is what I did...RIDE!!


This is what he did...DRIVE!!

Sunday evening we got back to Manchester, ate dinner and got a hotel room. We woke up at 4 a.m. to catch our 6 a.m. flight to Detroit and then on to Nashville. We were back home by lunch time though...air travel is amazingly fast!

We really enjoyed our vacation and the beautiful views of the United States we were able to see.

Maine Day Two

Today was our second day in Maine. We began the day in Ellsworth and headed to Bar Harbor. In Bar Harbor we walked out on a pier and took in the beautiful sight of the ocean and the boats. We took some time and walked around in downtown Bar Harbor and visited several shops. After leaving Bar Harbor we went back to the mainland and ate lunch at a lobster pound! After lunch we headed to Acadia National Park and were there for several hours. We drove around most of the park and saw some breathtaking sights. Our favorite was Cadillac Mountain, it was the highest mountain on the island and we could see so much and it was beautiful! It was amazing to stand on a mountain and look out and as far as you could see there was the ocean. It was so beautiful! Another favorite stop was Sand Beach where we just watched the waves come in and just appreciated God's amazing creation! We also visited a lighthouse in Bass Harbor which was beautiful! After leaving the park we drove around the coast in several small coastal towns which are so quaint! We had dinner in Belfast at a restaurant on the harbor. John David enjoyed another lobster tonight! I tried clam chowder for the first time and it was amazing and we saved a little room for wild blueberry cobbler!! We had a big day full of beautiful sights and made many memories!

To say the least we are a little tired so we are laying in our bed at the Comfort Inn in Belfast, the room has an ocean view, I can't wait to see it in the morning (it was already dark when we got here!)

Maine Day One

Yesterday we flew to Manchester, New Hampshire on our way to Maine! This morning we woke up bright and early, got our rental car and started driving! We had an amazing day just seeing the beautiful state of Maine! We went to Portland and had lunch there at a cute little harbor restaurant, we went to L.L. Bean in Freeport, and had dinner on the ocean!

The restaurant in Portland! We had coconut shrimp there!
