Acadia National Park is a true gem of the Northeast. Cadilac Mountain is a must-do activity ideally for sunrise or sunset. Reservations are required so I booked tickets for sunset since Mr. Vork is not a morning person. Luckily, I still got to see the most beautiful sunrises from our hotel room balcony overlooking the water while staying at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel. They were like a pastel painting with the water’s reflection. It was fun to watch the ships as well.
The Bistro provided a delicious dinner with the best salmon we think we have ever had. Across the street from the hotel is Jack Russell’s Steakhouse and Brewery, where we had was another wonderful dinner. Their lobster was the best that we had during our time in Maine, and that is saying a lot since we ate our fair share of lobster on the trip. Blueberry pie is also ubiquitous in Maine, so we sampled several. They were all good! Popovers are also popular, and we sampled these tasty treats at the Jordan Pond House Restaurant in the park. Bar Harbor is also a cute, touristy, town. When the tide is low, walking to Bar Island is fun and neat to experience.
