The Maine Event

Well its been almost a month since I've been back from Maine I am just now getting around to posting some pics on here. It was a shorter trip than normal and I really wish we could have stayed just one more weekend so I could have some quality time with my cousins (aka Bar Harbor nightlife!) I am so happy I was able to go. C&O's wedding was so beautiful! I was also happy to get to see all my East Coast family, especially my great aunts. I also got an insane amount of delicious seafood in one week!
After a crazy red eye flight we had just enough time to get ready for the wedding and go. We were all pretty wiped out that evening. The next morning we had a chance to walk the path outside our hotel room in Bucksport, ME. We had an incredible view of the river from our room and could hear the cannons from Fort Knox across the water! After we checked out of the hotel we headed to our hotel in Bar Harbor...another amazing view!! We really lucked out with out rooms. After a big family lunch at a pizza place, we went to the hotel. We took some pics of all the family together and then my aunts explored the pier to check out the luxury yachts near the hotel. Then the AZ fam went to Acadia National Park. It is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We saw all the good spots- Cadillac Mt, Thunder Hole, and Sandy Beach.
The next day we stayed around the hotel in the morning and had lunch there. My cousin EC and aunt and grammie all came over to head to the Bar Harbor shops. We also found a little whale museum. That's a whale's jaw bone we're touching!

The following day we went to my mom's hometown of Whitneyville and Machias to visit. It was so nice to see my great aunts and visit the place my mom grew up. We spent the last few days of our vacation at my aunt and uncle's lake house. We went to the newlyweds' house one night for dinner. They all have amazing gardens! And of course we had to top off this trip with a family lobster feast!

This was a relaxing and fun family vacation. The only it could have been better is if Dave and Sunny could have been there too! Hopefully next time!

XOXO~
