Maine-ly Acadia

My parents joined us for a road trip to Maine where we explored Acadia National Park for a couple days. Then we ventured on into Prince Edward Island for more sightseeing and to check out the Green Gables Heritage place...the abode of Anne of Green Gables! It's a place I have wanted to see since I first saw the PBS series back in the 1980's.

We started by driving the park loop, stopping to take pictures and explore along the way. Our first stop was Sand Beach where Gavin had a great time playing in the sand and climbing rocks with Daddy!

Then we stopped at Thunder Hole which was a blowhole in the rocks. We didn't get to see it really go off, I think the tide wasn't at the right height. But there were still some great views!

Platform to see Thunderhole up close but closed.

Next we stopped to see the Gatehouse (part of the legacy of John Rockefeller Jr.) that was part of the carriage road system in the park. We also drove to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. It was very cold and windy up there!!

Next we did a hike to see Waterfall Bridge. One of the many bridges built as part of the Carriage road system in the park.

Last there was a quick stop to see tide pools but not much to see. Then we checked out a lighthouse before heading back.
