Acadia

As a last hurrah, we finished off Ry's vacation with a trip up north to Acadia National Park.  The pictures speak for themselves.  And now I need a vacation from our vacation. :)

Hiking near Echo lake

The overlook to Echo Lake

Along the carriage roads



At the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point along the Atlantic seaboard.  It has an elevation of 1530 feet... so tiny after hiking mountains at 13,000 feet growing up!  We had big plans of getting up at 4 and watching the sun rise from here... unfortunately, it rained that whole morning.  Luckily it cleared up enough before we left so we could see the view!  We'll just have to make another trip for our sunrise.

Another view

Sand Beach

Near Thunder Rock, which wasn't making much noise, despite the recent storm.

Bass Harbor Lighthouse

Mia's preferred way of travel

Smelling beautiful flowers 

I asked Ry to make the kids laugh... he told them a joke.  They laughed. :)

Climbing a mountain wasn't enough....Logan also had to climb every downed tree and big boulder we came across.

Along the carriage roads

Mia riding her "horse" along the carriage roads.  Logan informed us (after passing over a bridge) that he had made a friend named Carlos the troll.  He followed us for quite some time.  :)

Cadillac Mountain

Thunder Hold

Popovers at the Jordan Pond House... famous, but overrated.  They were yummy... but at 4 dollars a pop.... I can make my own puffy bread thing.
