ACADIA NATIONAL PARK
Welcome back to the last in the Maine series.
We pick up our travels where we were on our way north to stay in an air bnb close to Bar Harbor. The air bnb was just a small cottage and was perfect for what we needed. Our host was so kind and welcoming once we arrived! She had the cottage prepared with a binder of all the hikes and attractions at Acadia along with places to eat and helpful tips!
She recommended a place across the street for dinner called Sweet Pea’s as a great option. They would also be closing down soon for the season. We took her recommendation and it was MAGICAL. I’m so glad we went! It was so so cute. They seated you outside (which was a bit chilly weather for me but they had blankets to help!). The great food, super friendly and helpful staff, drinks, and ambient warm lighting just made the whole experience wonderful.
If you make it to the end of this long blog post you will see a little hint at where I’ll be traveling to next in 2023!
My mood lifted halfway through. I realized my husband made the right decision because the views were stunning and we were never going to be here again or at least for a long time. It was a pretty enjoyable experience that we would have never got to do otherwise. If you ever find yourself here I recommend hiking around, even we uncoordinated folks could handle it hahaha.
While in Acadia we found out Phil’s Aunt and Uncle (the ones we visited in Mexico) would be staying there at the same time we were! They were camping in their camper van and we made plans to visit! They invited us to their campsite for dinner and showed us this sweet little hideaway spot to watch the sunset. Such a beautiful place.
The last place we visited before our return home was Thunder Hole. Our air bnb host told us the best time to visit was when the weather was rainy or stormy. That way it’s more likely to have waves crashing into the rocks. So we saved it for our last day which ended up being a good rainy day.
You made it to the end! Can you Guinness where we are going next? (sorry for the bad joke). If you made it to the end thank you for reading along! I’m looking forward to all that’s yet to come! – – –
