Finally...sun!

Now I understand why people love it here so much in the summer. Perfect weather today after a dicey few weeks. 72 degrees and sunny...so we went on a family ride in Acadia National Park today around Eagle Lake. An easy 6-mile loop around the lake on the park's carriage paths. The kids did a great job with the hills and Diane had Molly in tow on the tag-along. We had a picnic on the lake today and couldn't have asked for a more ideal setting.




Later in the afternoon I took a quick solo ride around the Amphitheater Loop carriage path and caught some great views of the Cranberry Islands. The carriage paths are such a great use of the park lands and gives incredible access to the park that would otherwise not be accessible by most.





It really was a relief to finally get a break in the weather. There is so much to see and do here, but the cold, rain and fog was starting to limit us...Tomorrow looks good too so we are going to try to squeeze some more of the park in before the rain returns and we have to head home later in the week.
