Acadia Me Day 2

We got up bright and early and went to the bass harbor light house. Here you can see the intense rocks on the southern most part of Mount Dessert Island.


Here are Hannah and Caleb in front of the light house.


Here's a pretty lake we saw while we were driving


After our own little self guided driving tour of the island, we went on a bike ride. Acadia has tons of carriage roads that they allow bike riders on. So Caleb and I picked an 8 mile loop that went by 2 ponds. Here we are in front of one of the lakes.


Here we are biking through the greenery


This is one of the really cool stone bridges that carriage roads use.

It was a pretty neat bike ride with several ups and downs. Caleb even stopped at one point to pick wild blueberries. It was a really pretty ride, but I was glad to get back to the car and sit down on something that wasn't a bike seat. Hannah had a OK time on the bike ride. Her favorite is to make loud noises to warn people we are going to pass. She like it so much that she even made noise when no one was around. However if someone waved to her, she would all of a sudden stop making noise, smile, and wave back. What a people person.


Here we are at the top of Cadillac mountain. This is the tallest mountain on the eastern coast line. It's a whoppen 1500ft tall, and you can drive your car to the top!



Here's Hannah enjoying chillin on a rock that is just the right size.


This is a view from the top



This is where we stopped to get lunch on the way home. We found it using the iPhone. Our food was really good...and it also happens to be where Laura Bush ate, so I thought it was worth a picture. :-D


Here's Hannah snoozing on the way back. We definitely wore her out.



All in all, I would rate this vacation a 5 out of 5
