Acadia

Acadia national park is beautiful. The only problem is that the clouds and fog are so thick at times you are just looking into white nothingness. At the summit of Cadillac mountain we would be the first people in the US to see the sunrise. So Annie and I woke up early on the 4th of July and drove to the top.  We took our sleeping bags out on the rocks and watched the clouds brighten. We would've been looking out at the Atlantic ocean. There were a lot of people up there hoping for a beautiful morning but everyone left not long after "sunrise." Annie and I were left up there by ourselves taking a nap. The rocks were more comfy than our car which was were we slept both nights in Bar Harbor.  It was a surreal nap on top of the mountain.  We were in a cloud and couldn't see more than 100 ft. So Im only pretty sure we were by ourselves. It was super quiet and all the cars were gone by the time we left to get some breakfast at 7:30. 
That day we hiked over 10 miles back up to Cadillac mountain and down and around some other peaks. It finally cleared up that afternoon around 3 and the views were breathtaking.  Hiking along the water and climbing along the cliffs were so much fun. 
That evening we were back in Bar Harbor for the fireworks and we met a lady from the area and she couldn't believe that we hadn't been out on the water yet.  Her husband manages a cod farm and she volunteered him to take us out to feed the fish the next morning.  He sent us out with his crew  and we learned all about the cod industry. It was actually pretty cool. They are the only cod farm in North America and they have hundreds of thousands of fish.  We got to see some dolphins and had 2 bald eagles come so close to the boat trying to see of we had any food for them.
We drove down to Portland and we splurged and split a twin lobster dinner.  Portland is a pretty cool city and had a bunch of breweries that we checked out.  They have a Maine brewery trail and if you get to so many they send you a free hat or t-shirt. We figured we needed a souvenir from Maine and that was our best option. Haha.
