Today the weather finally took a turn
for the better! It was a gorgeous day with a high temp of about 80.
We started out the day by moving our motorhome to the Oceanside KOA
on the Northwest side of Mt. Desert (the Bar Harbor peninsula) and
then headed to the Visitor Center at Acadia NP to get our car pass.
From there we drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain which is about
1,528 feet. This provided a birds eye view of Bar Harbor and
surrounding islands. From there we traveled south, to the southeast
end of the island, taking in the beautiful ocean scenery before
heading back to the motorhome for lunch. After lunch we ventured down
to the Southwest side of the peninsula and made our way to the south
to the lighthouse. Here we took a short trail down to the rocky
shoreline. Brooke and Jake decided to get adventurous and made there
way down to the rocks on the waters edge. Jake managed to slide off
the rock and accidentally fell into the ocean....well part of him
did. He got his shorts soaking wet and scraped his hand a little
bit. We got some good pictures and good laughs at his expense. He
then rode in the Fiat in his compression shorts wrapped in a towel.
We then slowly made our way up the western shoreline and back to our
campsite. On the way we stopped and bought a couple of bundles of
wood from one of the many roadside stands that sell firewood. We
rested for a short while before heading into Downtown Bar Harbor for
dinner. We all were craving pizza so we went to a place we saw the
other day called Rosalie's. We noticed this place the other day as
we walked by and they were running the fresh dough through a wringer
and then tossing it high in the air. We ordered a large pepperoni
pizza (at Jake's request) and a large BBQ Chicken (at Brooke's
request). We all loved the pizza and the craving was definitely
satisfied with leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. After dinner we
took one last cruise through downtown and headed back to the
motorhome to watch the sunset and have a campfire and make S'mores.
We enjoyed the evening sitting around the fire and talking about the
kids future education plans.
