Acadia National Park

Rated "absolutely beautiful" by Tom LeFevre. Ha.

Located in Bar Harbor, ME, you really need a couple weeks to really explore Acadia National Park. We dove into the visitor's center and got the lay of the land. Oh yeah, you pay $20 to get into the park for 7 days. I was relieved on the 5th day when they actually asked to see our entrance pass. I thought Tom was going to have kittens when no one asked for it the first few times we continued on our journey through the park. But yes, eventually they did ask for proof that we paid to enter (thank goodness) because I never would have heard the end of it.

We climbed (as in climbed I mean we drove and walked over to the path) Cadillac Mountain. You get great views of the park. I also tried to explain the whole glacier thing to Kaitlyn and Andrew but I'm not sure they really get it. Here are some pics of the view:

We also decided to get up at 5:00 a.m. in the morning to see the sunrise from atop the mountain. Yes, it was beautiful but man was it cold and windy! As you can see, Andrew was there but under protest and under cover:

Once the sun came up it was beautiful:

One more picture and we can go home!
