Sledge Summer Vacation: Days 8 & 9

Made it to Maine after a very short bit of driving through New Hampshire.

A friend suggested Hot Suppa for lunch and it was fantastic.

Clare continued to love having her photo taken...

We eventually made it to Bar Harbor and had dinner at the Thirsty Whale -- our waitress at Hot Suppa used to work there and highly recommended it. Long wait to get a table, but totally worth it!



The kids got ice cream and salt water taffy, then spent much of the evening throwing around the football X bought in Harvard Square -- that football got a ton of use once we hit Maine! 

Bar Harbor Inn -- where two of my friends in college spent a summer working. The day they flew home, they brought a live lobster for us to eat for dinner. First (and last!) time I had to help kill my dinner. :)

Clare wearing Michael's hoodie -- it got chilly as the sun went down.

The moment the salt water taffy kicked in.

The next morning, we headed to the ranger station and watched a short video about Acadia National Park, before spending the day exploring it.

And thanks to our 4th grader: a free park pass!

Signing the Sledge family to a guest book in the park.

Figuring out our location while stopping at another ranger station.
