Vacation Photos: Acadia and Bar Harbor

Just a few photos from our mini vacation last week.

Acadia and Bar Harbor is a favorite place of ours to visit. This time we did a few new things, which was nice and impressive as we've been here many times.

A walkway to the Ocean Walk

Tidal Falls - the tides are different here.

Another great trip!

Vacation Photos: Food in Bar Harbor

Last week, I shared a bunch of photos of Maine and hiking and views.

This week, it's all about the food.

I will also say that we are creatures of habit, and we go to the same restaurants often. 

West Street Cafe - this was our second time here and it was magical both times.

I love the decor; there are so many plants.

I forgot to take pictures of the food, but the seafood mushrooms and the lobster mac & cheese are impressive

We went to this restaurant for the seafood alfredo.

I'm a big fan of lobster.

Their peanut butter cookie is to die for. I had to go back for seconds. 

Rosalie's Pizza

This is a favorite pizza spot. 

The eggplant is my favorite. If you're lucky enough to get a table, it's so worth it. 

The crust is great. The tunes are even better

Pulled pork with mashed potatoes - I was not expecting this kind of meal here.

It was delicious! 

We go to CJ's Big Dipper every night for dessert when we are in town:

Peanut Butter

Campfire S'mores

This was a delicious trip and I recommend all these places to eat.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Vacation Photos: Acadia

We just got back from a trip to Acadia and Bangor Maine. We go there every couple of years. Lots of great hiking and it's so pretty. We stay in town and walk around after hiking in the morning, napping in the afternoon, and then grabbing dinner and ice cream in town. 

Here are some pictures from that trip (minus the food, I'll do a separate post on that)
