Bar Harbor Adventures

We travelled up the coast a bit via the Bar Harbor Suttle and eat lunch on the wharf at a seafood place. The fish was really fresh and the food was great. We watched some of the fishing boats out in the harbor fishing and saw others still tied to their piers. Later on, we visited some old historic buildings in Bar Harbor along with a couple inside the park. One of them houses the main park Gift Shop, always a favorite stop for Liz!

Acadia National Park Shoreline

We are now in Acadia National Park are have been driving around and taking pictures for the past couple of days. It has been a bit chilly at night but we have had a campfire. There are a couple of people outside the park that sell firewood on an honor basis and we have been buying our firewood from them.

Traveling to Bar Harbor, Maine

We left Owego, New York early this morning for Bar Harbor, Maine and Acadia National Park. We stopped at the Desert Dunes Campground in Freeport, Maine for the night. Freeport, as we all know or should know, is the home to LL Bean and we could not resist visiting the flagship store in downtown Freeport. The Desert Dunes Campground is an interesting place, if you have kids, because it has sand dunes and dune buggies for rent along with statues of desert animals. It is billed as the "Sahara of Maine".

Great Smoky Mountains

We are now in Gatlinburg, Tn at the River's Edge motel for our anniversary. We decided to stay in Gatlinburg this time instead of camping in the Park. We spent a lot of time shopping and eating out instead of driving around the park. Our stay at he motel was not without incident. Liz got stuck in the motel elevator and the Gatlinburg Fire Department had to get her out!
