Columbus Day weekend meant our annual trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. This year marked Shelby's eleventh trip and my seventh. Amazing.
We knew going into the trip that this year that it would be on the low key side. Just as when Riley was an infant Kendall would change all things. That together with my bike rack breaking as I was loading the car to leave meant that there would be much less activity this time around.
Travel is different now too. Riley is an active boy and so we need to take some time along the way to let him run off some of his excess energy. This meant stopping (in both directions) at a really great new playground in Portland. The playground is in a park that Shelby spent a lot of time in when she lived in Portland so while Riley got to play she got a chance to reminisce.
It's always great to hang with the cousins. Erica and Riley always have a great time together as well. Shelby's Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Jim were also along which was nice because they got to meet our Kendall Girl.
We hit some of our regular faves: Cafe This Way, the Jordan Pond House, Hunter's Beach and the Morning Glory Bakery. The rest will best be told by pictures and video. If a picture is worth a thousand words then what follows will be book-worthy.
It was a fun trip, as usual, but I'm looking forward to being able to take Kendall out in the kayak, in the bike trailer and in the backpack. Future trips should be very different. So here's the aforementioned pictures and video:
