Sam at Thunder Hole
Sam and I went to Maine in the beginning of July and it’s long overdue that I mention it in our joint blog. Yeah-it’s a little late, being October and all, but it’s been a very busy summer.
Our wedding was on August 16th and I wanted Sam to meet my parents and see where I spent some of my golden days of youth before our ceremony. First, we went to Searsport, Maine on the ocean where my parents live and then we went on to Bar Harbor which is on Mount Desert Island. There you can find the beautiful Acadia National Park, the only national park in the Northeast. It’s a very colorful place filled with pine trees and a pink granite coastline.
In Acadia National Park, we drove around the world famous Park Loop Road which cuts through the mountains and ocean scenery. We tried to stop at Sand Beach, but as usual it was way too crowded so we opted to stop at Thunder Hole just down the road.
After the more touristy visits, I took Sam and my parents to a part of the island where most people haven’t been or even know about: Wonderland. When I lived on this island after high school, I would escape to Wonderland’s rocky shelves and shoals to get away from the buzz of the busier, more popular parts of the island. In Wonderland I always felt like I was at the edge of the world, surrounded by what seemed like an endless ocean and stunning and wide views the island’s whole mountain range.
Unfortunately we were only there for three days. I hope we can spend more lazy summer days there in the future.
