The next afternoon we arrived to the park, straight to the campground.
Since we arrived early, there was time for some scrapbooking
The next morning we woke up extra early to make it on time to watch the famous sunrise from Mt. Cadillac summit . The clock's alarm didn't go off but Dagan somehow managed to wake up just in time to start the engine and go. On the 20min ride we all got out of bed and dressed up. We arrived in time to see this breathtaking sunrise. It was very cold and windy though. The park is located on an island in the east most part of the USA and therefore we were the first ones to see the sun in the whole US.
We weren't the only crazy ones to wake up early. We were embarrassed to take out our camera next to those professional photographers.
After that we parked in front of this spectacular view to have breakfast. The park is surrounded by many smaller islands and cruise ships among them.
Most of the park lands were donated by people who used to own it in the past. There are still people who live very close to the park in very nice houses
Next we joined a guided hike to Mt. Gorham. Ranger Alexa was our guide. This hike counted toward the kid's junior ranger program activities.
On the way back Ori was modeling the latest 2008 fall fashion
We spent the afternoon on this beach, strolling along the tide pools or reading a book

Yeah I am so glad you made it to Acadia Park! Did you see thunder hole? Did you go the place that serves tea and popovers? Did you know Martha Stewart has a house there? Also glad to hear that you enjoyed the Maine lobster! Now do you know why I am proud to be a Mainer??

Yes, we saw thunder hole but didn't know about the place that serves tea. You should be proud of your state, it's fantastic! We're thinking about you a lot and wish we could have shared the experience with you right here. bjs.
