Monday Stacey and MuM travel Mount Desert Island (Bar Harbor)

October 12, 2015

We had a delicious breakfast at the Riverside Cafe…Stacey had blueberry pancakes and

I had lobster Benedict.. YUM-MO!

We then proceeded to take a leaf peeping tour and erase the homesickness blues of Stacey,

of Mount Desert Island (MDI ).

We stopped in Somesville, at the iconic white bridge and then across the street to the

Somesville library to say hello to the Vagabonds, a bi-weekly group of painters that is

blessed to be able to refresh our spirits, and paint year ’round.

Next, to Asticou Gardens to take some photos and then down the road a piece to Seal Harbor

and a walk on the beach… the weather was perfect and the atmosphere sunny and healing.

The entrance to Acadia National Park is next to the parking lot and we headed to

Jordan Pond House for Popovers and tea…sitting outside with the iconic view. A tradition

for decades to have tea and popovers here.

Cadillac Mt.Summit was next and it was not too crowded (in other words, there were still a few parking spots here and there ! I was able to walk the short way to the summit thanks

to a handicap path that did not have steps that was created for walkers and wheelchairs, and

anyone who could not handle the steps.

Sand Beach was the next stop… a high on the “to do” list for my daughter who took her shoes off and let the gentle waves wash over her feet as she walked along the beach.

We stopped then at Thunder Hole even though it wasn’t “thundering” (tide needs to be coming in and at the right level to make the tremendous “boom”). It was a wonderful stop … as we were standing soaking in the ambiance, an eagle soared over our heads.

Cool as A Moose in Bar Harbor was our last stop before heading home and dinner at Governors Restaurant, Ellsworth.
