Bar Harbor

What a beautiful weekend! Our weather was perfect and we had an amazing time with the Tobeys. If you live in New England or are visiting the area then you need to make Bar Harbor one of your stops. It was by far our favorite weekend getaway.



We pulled into Bar Harbor on Friday with just enough time to hit the pool then fetch a tasty dinner at a restaurant on the water and browse the shops in town. Saturday morning the kids hit the pool in the morning with the dads while Tab and I got pedicures at the Spa. We then headed up to Acadia National Park to see a bit of the scenery and have lunch at the Jordan Pond House. Talk about breath taking views. The restaurant has indoor seating, although on a day like Saturday I'm unsure why anyone would choose to sit inside. You'll see just how picturesque the landscape was in a picture below. After lunch we joined Diver Ed - another must see in Bar Harbor - on a diving cruise (he does the diving in the 39 degree water and takes a camera along to show you what he finds.) He then brings up a collection of starfish, lobsters, crabs, and some other creatures for all of the kids - and adults if you'd like - to pick up and investigate. Grady was kissing sea creatures left and right and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Conner had fun but wasn't as keen on the picking up part. The rest of the day was spent at the pool, enjoying the town, watching the sun set over the Acadia mountains, and visiting with Tab and Selim after the kiddos fell asleep.



Sunday we hit the park for a hike to Thunder Hole - a ravine where the waves crash and it sounds like thunder. We also went to Sand Beach but the water was frigid so we didn't last too long. All in all it was a great time and we'll definitely head back to Bar Harbor again.



Hope everyone has a nice holiday today. Take care!



Oh yeah, I've been meaning to send out a congrats to Betsy and Pete - and Jake, the new big brother - on the birth of Josh. He is absolutely adorable and we are so happy for the Tseronises.
