Maine-ly for Fun

The Margaret Todd Schooner in Bar Harbor, Maine



"All hands on deck!" Gary, Sherry, Laurel and Don are waiting to set sail!

What else do you want to indulge in when you get to Maine, other than LOBSTER?!


We spent the Labor Day weekend in Bar Harbor, and we blessed with warm temperatures and sunny days. Acadia National Park was on our list as one of the places we wanted to visit, and it didn't disappoint us! The view from Cadillac Mountain looking out to the Atlantic and also over to Bar Harbor was stunning. Lunch was seafood, of course! Who would ever want a hamburger when you have lobsters all around you?
On Saturday, we treated ourselves to a sunset ride on the Margaret Todd, a schooner. It sails out of Bar Harbor. The island even has free bus service, so we took the shuttle bus from our KOA campground into Bar Harbor, since parking is at a premium any where near the town center. We set sail at 6 PM and got back in at 7:30, just in time for a beautiful sunset. Sunday found us wandering down the island again, traveling to the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. What a glorious weekend!
