The Eastern-most point of the United States

We made it to Bar Harbor, Maine today driving from Newport. Altogether, including a stop in Kennebunkport, ME for lunch, the trip took us 8 1/2 hours to make. WOW!

Not much to report on since we spent most of the day in the car. Some high points from the car ride:

Moose crossings. Yes, you read that right, watch out for moose in Maine. I just had to get a picture :)


Kennebunkport, ME. One of the cutest, quaintest little towns along the way. It was about halfway from Newport to Bar Harbor and we took some pictures of the little town while we stopped to have lunch. The homes here are exactly what I imagined New England homes to look like.




Cooper's corner. I had to take a picture in his honor.


Dinner in Bar Harbor. We finally were able to order lobster for dinner (one of the top items on our To Do list) and it was more than we bargained for! Lobster turns out to be really hard to eat!! They had to bring us out the bibs and a directions sheet, lol. Here are some action shots:





After dinner the plan was to walk around downtown and do some shopping but it was so cold (54 degrees) that we had to cut our night short and go back to the hotel. Tomorrow we are taking a trolley tour of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park before driving back to Boston (yes, another day in the car) so hopefully before we leave we can hit some of the stores.
I do have to say, I miss Texas! I'm so ready to be sweating and laying in a pool!
