    Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions for Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and Acadia national park. We had a fantastic time, even if the hike up the north ridge of Cadillac Mountain almost finished me.

    Favorites from the trip

    • Lobsters, lobsters everywhere! Lobster rolls were on the menu no matter where we went. My favorite meal was the whole steamed lobster and mussels at Thurston's Lobster Pound...but it was hard to go wrong with any of the seafood choices on Mount Desert Island
    • The Island Cruise with Bass Harbor Cruises was the highlight of the trip. I learned a ton about lobster fishing, the islands of Downeast Maine, and got some fantastic photos of the seals lounging on the rocks. Highly recommended.
    • Popovers at Jordan Pond restaurant in the park. Unfortunately, it was raining when we visited, so the view from the terrace was gray with low cloud cover. The popovers made up for the dreary view - they were massive and airy.

    Thanks again to everyone for the food suggestions. Once again, my only regret was I couldn't get to all of them - if I could eat at a lobster pound every day I would be happy - but the kids would mutiny.
