Introduction to the area

Last night after we arrived at the house, the rain came. It rained off and on throughout the late night and early morning, with thunderstorms. So nice to hear the rain.

Woke up this morning and saw the beautiful view of the harbor out the window of the bedroom we were in. Was so nice, I opened the drapes and crawled back into bed to look at the view.

We were shown the free part of Acadia National Park, the exclusive area of Grindstone Neck, Tidal Falls where fresh water and salt water meet to create rapids. We also ate lunch at a local burger place called Jordan's (described as Ellsworth's version on In-n-out Burger) - yummy! We did laundry and some grocery shopping. I bought *another* reusable bag, which had a picture of Adriondack chairs on a beach with an umbrella. I think reusable bags are my new fetish. Perhaps I should join RBBA (Reusable Bag Buyers Anonymous), but I don't think there's such an organization ... yet.

Michael played frisbee before dinner and Wii with the boys after dinner.

11 p.m. now. Bed time soon. I hear we're headed to Bar Harbor tomorrow. :-)
