The last leg of our trip included a long drive along the coastline and a two night stay in Bar Harbor, Maine, which is just outside Acadia National Park. It rained two of the three days we were there, but it was still beautiful...and our hotel, Bar Harbor Inn, was only feet from the water. We treated ourselves to a private balcony and slept with the doors open every night so we could hear the waves. I could have sat on our balcony for the entire three days and been perfectly content.

Atop Cadillac Mountain - the tallest mountain in Acadia NP, and the tallest peak along the eastern U.S. coastline. The original plan was to make it to the top before sunrise, but the rain interfered.
It was a wonderful vacation and long overdue. It was the first trip Wade and I had taken, just the two of us, since Yellowstone in 2012. Next adventure - Alaska in 2017...let the planning commence!
