We took a short four day vacation with my parents this past week. We went to Bar Harbor (Ba Haba) Maine and then Pittsburg, New Hampshire. While in Bar Harbor we went to Acadia National Park and on a Schooner boat ride. The park and the views were awesome. There was a park loop that we drove with spots to take pictures. Cailyns favorite part was Thunder Hole. At high tide the water rushes in and makes a thunderous boom followed by a woosh gubush as Cailyn says. John enojoyed Cadillac Mountain at sun rise. My favorite part was the Schooner ride on the water and watching my dad and John help raise the sails.
Then we headed off to Pittsburg to hopefully find moose and look at the fall foliage. John chose this location b/c the nickname is "Moose Alley and it was recommended from a local yocal on one of his work trips." Tip from this trip is to take a map when using a GPS. Our GPS took us into Canada (Oops not planning on leaving the country). We had no id for Cailyn but luckily they let us back into the States. John's ID may have helped a little. After they checked our licenses the boys and Cailyn used the bathrooms at the check point. For those of you who know John Canada was not in the plan so we could not stop to take a picture or use a bathroom because we told the Canadian border patrol we were going right back to the US. We stayed in a quaint little cabin that could sleep up to 7. We would have enjoyed staying longer and may go back sometime. On the last day of our trip we got up early to look for moose. We saw two girl mama moose as Cailyn says. We were all a little disappointed not to see a male but feel we are lucky to have seen any moose. There were people staying at the cabins that didn't see any either. The trip was a lot of fun and Cailyn was an excellent traveler.
