Back from Vacation....

We are back from vacation.  It was wonderful!  Just my husband and I.  We dropped the kids off with his parents and took off to Bar Harbor, Maine!  It was gorgeous there!  We are already planning our vacation for next year to take the kids with us!  We drove halfway and stopped in Boston for the night as we drove up.  We did take a pit stop in Newport, Rhode Island to walk a little at the Cliff Walk.  Huge houses. 

Boston was nice, nothing that I expected.  I would have liked to have stopped in Cambridge and taken a look at Harvard.  Maybe have bought Haley a Harvard sticker to post in her bedroom like Rory from the Gilmore Girls!  Then maybe have stopped at Yale and do the same thing!  We did part of the Freedom Trail.  It was nice to see all the old buildings and eat some pastries from Mike's Pastry after standing in line out the door for it! 

 

From Boston, we went up the coast on Route 1.  We stopped in Portland, Maine and saw the Portland HeadLight and Old Port.  We climbed the rocky coast and took pictures.

Then we stopped at Cappy's Restaurant in Camden for lunch.  They have fantastic food!  We also bought blueberry jam, yummy toast spread, and their fantastic spicy mustard sauce!  After the walk down to the harbor, we decided to head to our apartment that we were renting in Southwest Harbor, near Bar Harbor.  We were so tired from driving all day.  We crashed on the king size bed, only to wakened by the sun the next morning at 4:45 a.m.  We couldn't sleep past 5:30 every morning there, even though there was fog!  We drove the Park Loop Road, climbed Cadillac Mountain, hiked over the rocky coast, went on a lighthouse cruise, and had Lobster.  It was so much fun.  Here's just a sample of our photos we took while there....
