Playing In Vacationland
... it was hard to decide which town I liked the most. Each town had something unique to offer the visitor whether it was its shops, restaurants and/or marina.
My highlight of the trip was our visit to Acadia National Park and going to the summit of Cadillac Mountain (1,530 feet). Standing on the summit, we were able to take in the fall colours of the vegetation on the mountain and the valleys below. Truly breathtaking! Another highlight ...
New Hampshire, Three Authors, and the Maine Coast
... did not get through it unscathed. Over the next few days, Kat developed a bad cough which you will hear plenty about in our next blog!
On the drive south through Maine, we stopped at the Owl's Head Light, a small lighthouse on a majestic promontory. We had to get in at least one lighthouse!
Stay tuned for our next blog, depicting our second time through New England, our stay with the Bullock's, Kat's worsening health, and sightseeing in Boston.

One final walk on the pedestrian path...
Kim fell in love with Bar Harbor - could move there in a minute, if it weren't for their cold winters, so for one last glimse of this wonderful little harbor town, we took one last walk along the harbor trail and took some final photos for memories.

Hiking on Mt. Cadillac
Final morning in Bar Harbor, we headed up to Mt. Cadillac one more time to see if we could see the views - only to find it even foggier than the day before and the wind was howling! So we headed back down the mtn and in just a short distance, we finally saw some of the views of the village and bay below. The views are a bit dim, because the fog was swirling around the mountain, but the view was still pretty cool from up there.

Day 5: Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Maine
... or going on one of the boat trips that go along the coastline. If you drive around the park and stop at the main attractions you can see Acadia in 2 days or less.
After leaving Acadia, I stopped at a few coastal villages (Blue Hill, Castine, Belfast) as I made my way back down South. I stopped in Augusta just as it was getting dark. It's a pretty small city but cute and has a nice state capitol building.
