Our last day in Maine and we are ready to head home.  We had a great week visiting with Mom and Pop and exploring the Maine coast.  Cadie is plum tuckered out.  We'll be on the road early Sunday morning, hoping for good weather for the drive and a happy, contented kiddo too!  Until next summer, when Acadia's Big Adventure continues....

Acadia's Big Adventure Vol. 1 {Friday}

Coming up the Great Head Trail at Acadia National Park

Well, this is it folks!  The only picture from Friday.  Just after this photo was taken, Christopher almost passed out, puked, and fell ill on the trail!  So I strapped on the rack pack, and me and my two babies headed back down the trail to the car.  Cadie wasn't quite herself either and I ended up taking her out of the pack and carrying her the rest of the way.  Call it a bug, a migraine, whatever.  I think it was vacation sickness!  So, Cadie and I spent a few hours walking around Bar Harbor, picking up souveniers and lunching on ice cream, while daddy recovered.  Not an entirely bad way to spend the day!!

Another day close to home.  We spent some time at Schoodic Point and hanging out in town.  Cadie loved exploring on the beach, chasing the seagulls, and the cold chilly waters on her feet! 

Acadia's Big Adventure Vol. 1 {Wednesday}

A quick stop to see Wilbur, the giant lobster at Ruth & Wimpys- Cadie wasn't impressed.  She was quite scared, actually.

Another fun day in Maine.  The weather was beautiful so we did some walking in "the park," (the National Park, that is).  We hiked a 1/2 mile trail up a hillside to see some beautiful gardens, and discovered along the way that Cadie is quite the little hiker.  "Hike" has become her new favorite word!  We also walked 4 miles of the Carriage trails through the park while Cadie took a cat nap in the jogger.  After dinner in Bar Harbor, we headed home and Cadie was asleep by 7:30pm in the car.  Sadly, she missed out on the Wild Maine Blueberry ice cream we stopped for on the way!
