Seize the Day - Acadia's Ocean Path Revisited
We awoke Wednesday morning (July 3) to bright, sunny skies. The skies were blue and there was much rejoicing!
About half the group decided to go and explore the Ocean Path. This was a repeat visit for me, but I didn't have any issues revisiting the beautiful coast, especially with the clear day. This time, we started from the north and headed south. We arrived early and had no issues finding a parking spot at the popular Sand Beach parking lot. [side bar - my advice during high season for ANYTHING - arrive early and you beat the crowds and the heat - this applies to amusement parks, Disney, whatever!]
It didn't take long for the kids to venture off the path and onto the rocks. After the initial parental response ("Be Careful! Don't get too close to the edge! Take small Steps! Don't Run!"), we realized the kids are old enough to exercise caution and we (my sister and I) stopped barking out orders and let them roam the rocks.
They even staged some "fun" shots:
We took time for family photos:
And overall had a great morning.
Shared with Mosaic Monday.
Great shots in such a gorgeous area!
We were in Maine last fall but only for a few hours. I fell in love and hope to return there someday... hopefully to live there. I felt so in awe of the ocean.
Pretty photos of the coastline and I love the "fun" shots. Acadia is a great place to visit, thanks for sharing your trip! Have a happy week!
