Acadia Today


The rain stopped overnight and today was a gorgeous day on the Down East coast. It started cool and overcast, but the sun worked at coming out all morning and finally chased out the clouds by early afternoon. We explored Acadia National Park, and the beautiful weather lent itself to some great photo ops. This is Seal Cove, on Mt. Desert Island.




We all had a good time looking for sea glass and exploring the tidal pools. Thunder Hole was amazing, and thanks to the recent passage of Tropical Storm Danny, the waves were impressive.


































These are some shots at the summit of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the eastern seaboard....












































We were going to make Molly eat this for dinner:














But lucky for her we got a hot tip on a great spot called Geddy's in Bar Harbor. GREAT fun! Our friends were even able to watch us from home via the Geddy's Webcam! Very cool.






































Tomorrow it's over the sea to Yarmouth on the CAT, a high-speed catamaran ferry.
