We have been to Acadia NP once before when we drove up from Portland for a day. But we did not have a passport book then. That short visit made us want to come back for a longer stay. We drove into the park today and stopped at the visitor center to get our passport stamp, park mug, and post cards before driving the scenic loop through the park with a side trip to Seal Harbor. The park was packed with people, as we expected being a high season weekend, so we just drove through to get the lay of the park and enjoy some of the scenery. We then headed into Bar Harbor. The town was very busy as well, but we enjoyed walking the waterfront and some of the shops on Mainstreet. We stopped in a waterfront bar for a drink, a crab/lobster cake and to enjoy the sea breeze. We also stopped at the Atlantic Brewing company to taste their beers as well. We will be back to Bar Harbor many times before we leave! On the way back to the Wanderer, we stopped at the Bar Harbor Lobster Bake. We split a Noreastern Feast plate which included a 1.2 pound lobster and a pound of steamed clams. Our favorites! So in one day we hit our top 3 reasons for being here!
