Monday September 14

Woke up this morning and had breakfast here at the Comfort Inn. Took off for Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Had a 30 minute traffic jam at the bridge to the island, and then everything was great from there.

We stopped at the park visitor's center and bought our car pass for the day. We went a little ways into town to the grocery store and bought sandwiches and chips for lunch. Then it was back to the "Loop Road". We rode up to the top of Cadillac Mountain and looked at the 360 degree views. The morning started off cool but clear. Some clouds rolled in as we were driving down off the mountain, but they later dissapated and we had a beautiful afternoon. We stopped at Sand Beach and Thunder Hole.

We had lunch at Bear Brook Picnic Area. We continued around the loop road looking at all of the sights to Jordan House Pond. Carol had a popover with butter and strawberry jam and warm tea. I had a popover filled with homemade ice cream and iced tea. We finished the loop road and parked in town on the waterfront. We shopped up Main St. and Cottage Ln and then went to dinner at the Quarterdeck restaurant overlooking the harbor. Carol ordered a whole, steamed lobster. I think that she had fun!

Back to the Comfort Inn for sleep.
