Day 3 - on the road again

Today was a travel day – from Danvers, MA to Bar Harbor, ME. The total trip time was supposed to be around four and a half hours. It didn’t take much time to travel through the rest of Massachusetts and a small corner of New Hampshire, but Maine was a different story… Maine is big. Really big. As we went through Bangor, traffic started to slow down as apparently everybody traveling in Downeast Maine was planning on going to Acadia. Nonetheless, the growing excitement of the kids buoyed us as we hit Ellsworth and then crossed over the bridge on to Mount Desert Island. We got to our cabin site at approximately 2:15. The thing that marred this – at least for me – was a rather nasty case of gastrointestinal distress that had plagued me since midnight or so. I didn’t feel that great… The cabin though was very nice. Small, rustic but well suited to our needs. I highly recommend Hinckley’s if you happen to be going to Acadia. Karen and Cole headed in to Bar Harbor to get some groceries while Cadi and I stayed back at the cabin to rest. Nothing else too exciting to report. Tomorrow, on into the park that inspired our daughter's name.
