Last year Jaime and Conner came to spend some time with us in Bar Harbor, and this year Beth and Andrew came for a few days!
We picked them up in Bangor, and I had my camera ready!
Yes, we took them to the top of Cadillac Mountain, and it was much warmer than it was when Jaime and Conner were here.
They all look great, and I look like I’m ready to be blown away!
Beth and Andrew enjoyed seeing the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, but I was afraid of Beth hiking over those rocks. I thought she should be more careful, but this little future mommy scampered over those rocks easily.
It was an easy walk through the blueberry fields to get back to their motel.
It’s lobster time! We ate lobster, clams, and steamers, and loved them all.
The Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound isn’t fancy, but it's our favorite place to go for lobster.
We told them about the Carriage Roads, and how great it was biking them, so Beth and Andrew went biking too!
Our next stop was at the Jordon Pond House for lunch after our bike ride through the Park.
They left us in their dust on Gorham Mountain Trail.
We really enjoyed our time with Beth and Andrew, but when they left the Government decided to shut the whole National Park System down!
All the roads were blocked. What a shame.
Ha! We had bikes and just rode around the barricades. What could have been a real disappointment turned out to be a lot of fun for us. No cars on the Park Loop Road! We road the entire road, and had a really fun time.
We saw things you miss when you fly past in a car.
OK Bob, you really shouldn’t try to push Bubble Rock off it’s perch!
That’s me at the top of the South Bubble Trail.
Isn’t this bridge pretty?
This is the way they handle trails across swampy areas.
Guess who’s trying to figure out where we are!
John D. Rockefeller loved to build bridges,
and he made sure they were beautiful.
It’s usually very crowded here, but the government kept everyone out except for hikers and bikers.
It was a quiet and peaceful place to have lunch.
I love the Maine coastline, and I think I’d really like to own this house.
The trails are all marked with trail names and mileage.
No cars, only bikes, and the government shut down was a gift to us.
Where is Bob? I think we’re out of Maine now and hitting the New York wine trail. Stay tuned!
