Day 3
Bar Harbor, Maine
October 11, 2011
Yeah they drop The “R” in all the words up here. It’s quite amusing to sit and listen to the locals have a conversation
Well… We started the Morning VERY early!
It is the 1st place that the sunrises in the Continental U.S.
So, In case any of you were actually up early enough to see the sunrise…I saw it before you
And OH SO COLD!!!
After the sunrise, we headed over to Jordan’s for Breakfast
And what better way to warm up, than with
Maine is apparently known for their blueberries, so it was only fitting to eat them
After Breakfast, Grace Anne needed a nap, so we dropped her at the room and Stacey and I went back to Acadia National Park
When it is high tide, the waves crash in this hole and causes a huge “thunder” sound and sometimes shoots water up
The waves weren’t high enough when we were there, so it sounded more like a stomach growling
After we were done gallivanting in the park…. we picked Grace Anne up, ate lunch, walked the streets of Bar Harbor for a couple hours and then went to the dock to board our sailboat for the sunset sail
The Margaret Todd
Sunrise to sunset….Can we say it was a long day???
After we made it back to the dock, it was dinna time!
In light of our last night in Maine, We felt we needed to eat Lobster. We had eaten some GREAT meals while there, but had yet to actually eat any Lobster
Grace Anne and I decided to go the safe route… and ordered a Lobster role
The Lobster is already cracked and clean for you…requiring no work on our part
Not as good as the crab role we had yesterday, but still pretty good.
and get the real deal…
For anyone that knows Stacey, knows that this was NOT a good idea!
She hated it, but I gotta admit…I love seafood, but that whole process is a bit gross
As we left the restaurant we saw the tank of live Lobsters
There was a man out there holding one, and asked if I wanted to hold it. My immediate response was, “NO way!”
But after much coaxing, jumping, and squealing….I held it and was able to stay composed long enough for a picture
When we entered the Lobby there were about 8-10 senior citizens piled up on the couches in front of the flat screen, watching dancing with the stars
We may or may not have joined them…
We realized that we haven’t seen anyone and I’m not exaggerating…like maybe only a couple of people our age. Everyone is older.
We are hoping Vt will have a younger crowd
But we have LOVED chatting it up with the ‘old folk’
Obviously, we had a FULL day and loved every second of it. It is just so gorgeous and the pics don’t even come close to doing it justice
Maine did not let us down and far exceeded any expectations we may have had. We have met so many people. I have enjoyed talking to everyone, hearing their stories, and learning the way of life of people here and around the U.S.
Tomorrow we head to New Hampshire!
