Weekend Getaway in Maine

This past weekend we drove to Bar Harbor in Maine. We anticipated busy roads since it was a long Memorial Day weekend. But surprisingly the traffic was not bad at all so we just took it easy.

As soon as we arrived in the city and settled in our hotel, we immediately checked out the place. I just loved the panoramic views of the harbor, very calming and breathtaking. The nice weather made the scene even more perfect. The place was full of tourists so it was hard to get a parking slot close to the marina.

We drove by ourselves to Acadia National Park but did not cover the whole area as hb was not comfortable walking with aching left foot. So we decided to still join a paid tour the following day. We stopped at different levels of Cadillac Mountain and took pictures. We sat on big boulders as we looked at the amazing view of the harbor with cool breeze touching our faces, it was just wonderful. It made me just want to hang out there the whole day, it was awesome. We also hanged out for a little bit at Sand Beach; Thunder Hole; and Wild Garden. I missed the pop-overs and tea at the Jordan Pond, but I'm sure we will come back there again hopefully in the near future.

Here are some photos I took of our Maine get-away.

On our way to Maine, halfway through we stopped by
a rest area to relax and have a snack.

At Thunder Hole, you can hear the roaring sound of water

As if we haven't had enough lobsters in all the restos we've dined at already,
we still stopped by the popular Lobster Pound to buy more live lobsters.
