Bar Harbor and home

Okay, Bar Harbor was the last day of our New England trip and this was where we did our trolley tour of Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. This feels like so long ago! I'm having to use the pictures as reminders to let you know what we did!

Our trolley tour picked us up at our hotel and boy was it a rainy day. We picked the worst possible time to come to Bar Harbor- it was cold and rainy. The hotel employees said it was beautiful the days before we came and they rarely get that much rain. We sat in the front of the trolley so we had a great view of everything, but the rain and fog made it hard to see along the coast. :(

Here are some pictures of Acadia National Park.


And downtown Bar Harbor, very picturesque.




After our trolley tour we pretty much had to hit the road so we could make it back to Boston before nightfall. For some reason the Garmin took us on the scenic route on the way home and I could not have been more pleased with the decision. It was the perfect drive on the way back to Boston- exactly what I pictured New England to look like in the springtime.
By the time we made it back to Boston, got to the hotel and returned the rental car we were pooped. Our flight on Saturday was pretty uneventful. We finally had Dunkin Donuts for breakfast (another item on our To Do list) and we were actually paged over the loudspeaker at the airport because we almost missed our flight! Thankfully we made it and we are now safely back in Texas. I gotta say, after those beautiful New England day it sure does make this Texas heat even more unbearable. But I am so glad to be home!
Thanks mom for some wonderful mother-daughter bonding time and for a vacation I will never forget. And a HUGE thanks to Stephanie for lending the Garmin to us- we would probably still be driving around New England lost without it!
