Bar Harbor Here We Come

It's finally here, our annual visit to our "home away from home" or at least that's how we feel.  

We LOVE it here and it never gets old!

View from our cottage - Edgewater No. 6

We left home about 9:20, stopped at McDonalds for breakfast and were on the road by 9:55.  We stopped in Belfast for lunch and arrived at our cottage at 2:20.  It was 81* and partly cloudy!  We brought in all our stuff, then went for a drive along the Park Look Road.

We seldom see much wildlife while driving but today we spotted one deer along the side of the road, although we weren't able to stop.  Then, not too much further along, we saw another one, then another and another.  Three of them right in front of us.

We could have sat and watched them all afternoon but someone was coming up quickly behind us and we were afraid we would get run over, plus they got scared and ran off.  

We stopped at Sand Beach and were surprised to see such large waves.  It's usually pretty calm.

Mostly because I didn't want wet, sandy feet, I didn't want to get my feet wet but was wondering how cold it was, so Bill went and checked it out.

He said it was chilly but not super cold.

From there we drove to Thunder Hole, where we got out and watched the surf for awhile.  It was pretty rough and the bottom section of the walk was closed.

While we were walking back to the car, we noticed one of the cruise ships heading out.

There were three anchored off the coast today.  There have been more the past week due to Hurricane Florence making landfall in NC causing them to divert their course.

We took a terrible selfie, which seems to be the norm lately.  

We had dinner with Wendy and Dan to celebrate their seventh anniversary, on the 23rd.  We brought fillets, they provided corn and green beans and some wonderful garlic butter.  We even found a gluten free dessert!  Bill won the game of Racko, we said good night and walked next door to our cottage.

Hiking tomorrow ;o)

Thanks for stopping by...
