Mount Desert Island Visit- 2010











Last summer we didn't make our annual visit to the region, because we had a few things happening, and this year we went really late in the year. Needless to say, we were happy to be able to spend some time here this year.  We stayed at the Claremont Inn in Southwest Harbor for two nights to be able to attend a wedding. On Saturday we visited the Mt. Desert Island Oceanarium and was able to have a brief visit with our dear friend Audrey.  The kids spent Sunday at the Blue Hill fair while Gabe and I did wedding things.  Sunday night my wonderful cousin Hillary came to watch the kids for the evening, then stayed with us for the next day.  Thank you, thank you Hillary for helping out and putting up with us for the day!  We loved having you play with us for the day!  On Monday we hiked Bubble Mountain to the balancing rock, as you can see from the pics, Noah wasn't too interested in it at first, but we did eventually get him to stand and "push" the rock. We had a picnic lunch in Northeast Harbor (while Noah slept in the car) and walked up to the bakery for some really good treats:)  Afterwards, we drove around the island and played some mini golf and set up our tent for the night.  We spent Monday night camping and had a cold trip to the top of Cadillac Mountain for the sunset followed by really good, but expensive, ice cream at Ben and Bills:)
