Our coffee and continental breakfast enjoyed on our back deck, we prepare for our adventure in Acadia National Park.
It’s another spectacular weather day as we drive up to the top of Cadillac Mountain and then hike the 0.5 mile trail around the summit. The vistas are stunning from this elevated vantage as we look out over Bar Harbor and are able to see many of the small islands that comprise this area. Taking the Park Loop Road, we weave along the waters edge and into the forest on a beautiful drive. A roadside stop along the outer loop, we hike out on the rocks and enjoy the crashing waves, views of Sand Beach, and rumbling echos from Thunder Hole. Thirsty from our adventure, we continue our journey to Northeast Harbor where we enjoy a couple of lagers before heading back to the hotel.
A seat at the fire pit, we decide our evening dinner plans in accordance with our weather predictions. We make reservations in the Reading Room at the hotel and then retire for a well earned nap. Rejuvenated, we enjoy the sounds of the pouring rain and feel the fresh cool breezes blowing thru our windows – a great evening to dine in as the rain, accompanied by lightning, continues to fall. We are seated along side the window overlooking the Bay and share a wonderful surf and turf fare. With the rain subsiding, we go for a nighttime stroll along the streets of Bar Harbor. Fudge caps off our excursion adventures this day.
