Vacation Photos: Bar Harbor

We took a quick weekend trip to Bar Harbor and other parts of Maine. We went to our favorite - Acadia. Ate lots of great food. 

The sunset the first day was amazing

It's a little foggy on top

Seen on the Ocean Walk - lots of fog and clouds 

More fog and ocean

We finally played mini golf at Pirate's Cove. So much fun! 

Hanging out in the shops

Jordan Pond

On the walk around Jordan Pond - one of my favorites. 

Some nice foliage day 2

Flowers at Jordan Pond House - where I got the cutest pair of socks. 

We took a walk on the sand bar at low tide to the island. 

We took a sea cliff walk at night - this is a little bit brighter than what the sky looked like.

A cool building in Portland

Now for the food:

West Street Cafe - great food and a charming new to us place 

Lemon cream cake and the Maine staple Blueberry Pie - West Street Cafe

Seafood Pasta - West Street Cafe

Blueberry Ice Cream from CJ's Big Dipper - this is our favorite ice cream place in town. We eat there every day. 

A chocolate coconut donut - Graffiti Donuts. We had lots of donuts on this trip

Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese with Fried Jalapenos - maybe the best I've ever eaten in Gritty's Pub in Portland. 

Picture Book Wednesday: National Park Books

This series from Abdo Kids Jumbo is great. The photographs are amazing. Each book talks about echo systems, nature at the park, climate, and more. It gives just enough information to make the reader want to visit that park. 

In Maine, I've been here - to that exact spot on the cover. And it's fantastic. 

I would love to travel here.

Traveled to Zion a few years ago - really pretty!

Hiked rim to rim once a few years back and going again this year.

On my list of places to travel

Have you visited any of these parks?
