Acadia National Park

With much pleading and imploring, we finally managed to tear Jordan away from house & farm work for the day.  Our destination:  lovely Acadia National Park, which is about 2 1/4 hours from our new home.  The park was busy on this holiday weekend in the midst of Maine's peak foliage season, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway.

Our first stop was a beach, where we enjoyed a nice picnic lunch.

We were babysitting a friend's daughter, Marlee, and she seemed to enjoy the park just as much as we did.

Here's a view of Cadillac Mountain, from a small inlet.

We even captured the day with an elusive family photo.

What a great day!
