Figuring out a better way to catalog our trips.. I thought I would start with our first national park and go from there. Might go backwards if I get caught up. Don’t know if I’ll add more detailed write-ups to these posts but I may in the future.
- Day 1:
- Flew into Portland and immediately went to Portland Head Light to grab a couple lobster rolls from Bite Into Maine
- Checked into Hilton Canopy
- Had cocktails at Blythe & Burrows and really wanted the Tom Yum cocktail but didn’t get to try it…
- Day 2:
- Walked from hotel to Holy Donut to get a half-dozen potato donuts for later
- Had brekkie at Salt Yard Cafe & Bar which was super good (same building as hotel + had a $30 food credit for being Hilton Gold or something)
- Drove to Castine, ME to meet up with Alex who was working at Adam Gallery for the season
- Alex showed us around the town to Wadsworth Cove Beach and the Dyce Head Lighthouse
- Had dinner after at Dennett’s at the Wharf
- Day 3:
- Played cards at Compass Rose Books + got tea
- Drove to our campsite at Acadia NP
- Pitched our tent + waited for the rest of the group to arrive
- Sweet sleep
- Day 4:
- Probably hiked – saw Thunder Hole and hiked Bee Hive (stunning!)
- Don’t remember what lunch was, dinner was in Bar Harbor?
- Campfire night!

This write-up ended up being not-generic – ended up remembering a lot + photo location tags helped.
