Bar Harbor, Maine

Our next stop in Maine was farther north on the coast to a city called Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor was a quaint little town with tons of shops, restaurants, and boats. Also, Acadia National Park is located next to Bar Harbor. The scenery was beautiful! We enjoyed walking around Bar Harbor and bike riding through the park. While the views were spectacular, the weather was less than stellar. The first thing we did in Bar Harbor was purchase more sweatshirts. It was cold - 55-6o degrees and rainy the whole time! While we tried not to let it ruin our plans, the whale watching trip we had planned was canceled. Overall, it was a good time, and we loved visiting Bar Harbor.

First night in Bar Harbor. Justin enjoyed a whole lobster!


Fresh Maine Blueberry Pie with ice cream!


Bar Harbor. Imagine how beautiful this would be on a sunny day as opposed to a rainy, foggy day!


Lunch the next day in Bar Harbor.


We rented bikes and spent several hours on the paths through Acadia National Park. It was so beautiful! Bike riding up mountains is hard work!


Justin thought I looked really funny on the bike so he insisted that I post this picture.

After all that hard work, I was in need of a beer and a hot tub! The hot tub was necessary to warm up because it was seriously about 55 degrees outside.


The next morning we went to the cruise boat at 8am for our whale watching trip. Yep, you guessed it...it was canceled due to the rain and fog. Instead, we took off to Kennebunkport in hopes of having better luck.
