We made the short trip up the coast to Bar Harbor this morning. We checked into our hotel and headed over to Acadia National Park. After driving up to the highest point in Acadia, we hiked up to the top of another peak on a ridiculously steep trail. The trail had iron hand rails and steps at some points because it was so steep. It was pretty difficult, but it was worth it for the amazing views. Acadia is definitely a place we'd like to return to sometime when we have more time.
We did end up going out for lobster after we got cleaned up, but we decided to get it the "cheater" way--pulled out of the shell and sauteed in butter and garlic. It wasn't too bad.
The hotel we're in was definitely one of the cheaper one's in the area, but the views from the deck from where this post is now being written are absolutely beautiful. If you're ever in Bar Harbor, check out the Sea Breeze Hotel.
The ferry ride tomorrow morning is about 3 hours, so that should be a lot of fun. We've heard there are movies and even a casino on board. After we get to Nova Scotia, it's all up in the air. We're hoping to meet with people as soon as we can and possibly make a connection who can help us with housing. Again, your continued prayer is much appreciated. We hope you enjoy the pictures of our day below!

My grandparents are from that part of Maine (near Bar Harbor) and my dad was born not too far from there! Looks like you guys had a great day yesterday. Thanks for keeping us updated!
ok just looked on a map... where my dad was born is apparently not that close to Bar Harbor (about 3 hours away)... but I've heard them talk about Bar Harbor so maybe they lived there at some point or visited there or something?? Anyway, looks like a pretty place! Have fun on the ferry!
I love it! You work that hat, CJ!! Praying and looking forward to hearing how God works out this next step!
Keri, you look like you're in jail. Nice shirt.
I MISS YOU!
