Canadian Vacation

Our first stop was Acadia National Park in Maine. We camped there two nights at a great private campground on the quiet side of the island. We were lucky enough to be there just days before the summer season onslaught started, so the campground was nice and quiet.

The drive through Maine was gorgeous, despite some rain clouds that followed us around the entire vacation. Actually we were very lucky with the rain considering how much of it we got. Ten minutes away from our campground it was pouring down and we weren't sure what we were going to do, but as soon as we arrived at the spot the rain stopped and didn't start again until late that night after we were comfy inside the tent.

The next day we did a gorgeous 6-mile hike along a lakeside, and a few smaller hikes down to the seaside. (We saw the coolest mushrooms, brown ones and red ones and orange ones and purple ones and grey ones and even fluorescent yellow ones.) At times the fog was so thick you couldn't see the boats in the harbor. We had wanted to do some hikes up the mountains, but with all the fog we knew there would be no view to see so we just kept it simple, but had no complaints really. Even with all the hiking we did, this was probably the only part of our vacation you could call relaxing. David and I don't really vacation, we travel.
