Another year older? Rob had a birthday on July 16, and wondered "which way to the beach?" all day ... despite sitting on it! This photo was taken near Sand Beach in Acadia National Park. Beautiful pink granite, lush forests, and the deep blue ocean!
Here is our "home" town for a couple of days, Bar Harbor, Maine. The photo was taken from the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. As you can see, the views were incredible!
Where does lobster come from? From lobster fishermen just like the guys in this boat. If you click on the picture and enlarge it, you'll see them pulling in the lobster trap! Maine is famous for wonderful fresh lobster. So how is it you ask? I don't know ... since I'm allergic to lobster, I don't dare try it! This photo was taken near Seawall in Acadia National Park.
Here is a photo of the Bass Harbor Lighthouse on the southern tip of Mount Desert Island. This lighthouse is still in use today, in fact, it was blinking when we were there, even though there wasn't a cloud in the sky at the time! It was built in the late 1800's and has saved many ships over the past 100+ years!
Southwest Harbor, Maine. A beautiful little harbor town on Mount Desert Island, but on the opposite side of the island from Bar Harbor. On the south side, a natural harbor hosts the town, and a similar little town on the other side of the harbor, Northeast Harbor, Maine.

Wow, it is just so beautiful there. I'm jealous again. It makes me really want to go to the ocean, luckily I only have to wait about 5 weeks.
Happy birthday Dad! I like all the pictures it makes me want to visit the east coast. Maybe I will run into Pocahantas and John Smith.
