Lynn and I rented a lake house in Bangor Maine for everyone. It was great that both boys and their girlfriends could come. We also had Jorden, Ray and Gladys. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect the whole week.
We have so many stories to tell but I’ll try to keep it short. The house was great. Right on Lake Phillips. Lynn did a great job finding it.
My favorite day was Acadia National Park. We made reservations for our visit to Cadillac Mountain. It was a beautiful blue sky day. We could see all the way to Nova Scotia. The hiking was smooth and moderate.
We did a lot of driving around the park and then stopped at Jorden Pond for lunch. It’s a famous spot with sonderful outsid seating with a view of the mountain. The unfortunate part was the crowds. Matthew couldn’t find a parking spot and left before lunch. Too bad we didn’t get the message.
Our day trip to Camden was awesome. Again, the weather was perfect. We booked a schooner ride for everyone. The 100 year old boat was captained by it’s owners and that trip was really special. We saw lots of wild life. in Dolphince. Selas, and lots of birds. After the sail boat ride, we toured the city for a while before driving back north. And, of course, stopping at Young’s lobster pound along the way.
We also arranged for Family Photos for everyone. The photographer did a great job. The pictures came out awesome.
As a grand finally, Bob rented a Jet Ski for the day. That was tons of fun for everyone.
The big downfall of the whole trip was when Mom fell down the stairs. She cracked her head on the cement pretty good. She had a big black eye, broken wrist, and we all got a pretty good scare. She had to spend the night in the hospital but it ended better than we expected.
