On Thursday, we left for Maine. Since we live in the bottom corner of CT and drove along the coastline, it took 7 hours. We played BOP IT on the car and had a lot of fun and got bored too. When we finally got there, We took a walk. We lived in the "Maine" building.(GET IT?) We found out that the hotel had a dock and we could go fishing! The next day, we went to Acadia's Visitor center. Then, we drove up Mt. Cadillac and checked out the view. We also went to Sand Beech and got all wet. On Saturday, we woke up at 4:50 to see the sunrise up on Mt.Cadillac.(Really tiring but TOTALLY worth it.) Afterwards, we took a hike with a ranger up Beech mountain to see the fire tower (we got to eat huckleberries!). This time we brung the swimsuits, so we could swim in Echo Lake. We also went to the lighthouse where there are horseflies but also dolphins. On Sunday(my birthday), we went fishing on a boat for 3.5 hours, I caught 13 fish without bait. I guess the superstition is true, because the thirteenth fish pooped on me! My friends and family caught an average of 8-9 fish. Then, we ate lunch and went to the beach and skipped stones.(I also got a T-Shirt that said Bah Habah Maine.) That night, we ate cake and celebrated my tenth birthday! On Monday we came back to CT, and on the way back we ate a ton of Oreos and Lays'. Hope you go to Bar Harbor too!
Fun facts:
Got Bugspray? cause you're gonna need it. There are swarms of mosquitoes up there!
Mt.Cadillac is Acadia's tallest peak.
The fire tower has a better view than Mt. Cadillac!
If you take the fire tower hike you gotta have time! It takes 2 hours.
Go fishin' sometime, cause' take my word, you're gonna love it.
You'll regret it if you don't eat Fish n' Chips, Clam Chowder, or Lobster.
