Lobstah: The way Mainahs say what most folks call lobster. Seeing as Maine has the largest lobstah industry of any state in the USA, “lobstah” is the correct pronunciation of the word. – http://www.urbandictionary.com

Acadia National Park protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline of the United States, an abundance of habitats, high biodiversity, clean air and water, and a rich cultural heritage. Each year, more than 3.3 million people explore seven peaks above 1,000 feet, 120 miles of hiking trails, 45 miles of carriage roads, 17 stone bridges, and four lighthouses. – http://www.nps.gov
Beal’s Lobster Pier in Southwest Harbor has been a working fish and lobster pier since 1932. In 1969, after almost four decades of success as a wholesale operation, the third generation of Beals opened a Maine seafood restaurant at the end of the pier. The restaurant’s vision remains the same today as it was then–serve up the freshest seafood to customers, at the doorstep of the working waterfront. – www.bealslobster.com
For a few hours at low tide a sand and gravel bar are exposed allowing people to walk across the bottom of the sea from Bar Harbor to Bar Island. It was incredible to see the bar exposed for the first time, what had moments ago been the sea suddenly revealed what lay beneath.
Sand Beach is nestled between a mountain and a rocky shore on the east side of Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park. When we arrived the inlet was shrouded in early morning fog which was quickly chased away by the day’s sun.
We did our first staycation in Washington D.C. when Lucas was two and Penny just a babe. Over the years we’ve continued this indulgent tradition, being tourists in our own city.
The last day of our Italian trip this past Spring was spent in Bologna, Italy. It was the coldest and the rainiest day of our entire trip.

Jordan Pond is a glacier formed tarn. The waters are crystal clear and serve as a water supply for the nearby town of Seal Harbor. A 3.6 mile hike around the shoreline gives you flat trails, bridges, rocky climbs and a man-made bog walk to protect the most fragile areas. The constant change in terrain coupled with the views kept us all entertained and inspired. Our hike ended with popovers at Jordan Pond House, the only full service restaurant in Acadia National Park. The tradition of popovers and tea dates back to the 1890s.
