Our second day at Acadia had a little bit later start but we learned how quickly the weather can change. Our first stop was back to the Visitor Center where we would look for a ranger that would be easy to sweet-talk into a badge and patch for Colbie even though we didn't do a Ranger lead tour. Poor cute James never saw us coming and after a short video, he went through Colbie's book page by page and was so impressed with everything she did. He also said he would not have taken a nine-year-old on the Beehive. Well, we didn't figure that would get us parents of the year but gave ourselves high fives as he swore her in as a Centennial Junior Ranger of Acadia national Park. We were back on the road and headed to check Cadillac Mountain off of our list because everyone said it is a must see. We were a bit surprised when we got to the top of the tallest mountain on the eastern coast at how cold it was there. The rain and fog were back so we quickly took our pictures, went for a quick hike and got back in the car. Next stop, Jordan pond. We were going to walk around the pond but the rain was pretty much sticking around. We arrived and got a table for the famous tea and popovers and also had lunch. Dad said he was walking to the pond anyway so feeling guilty, we got ponchos and went along. When we had our fill of Jordan pond, we got in the car to head over to the "quiet side" of Acadia National Park. We saw the most photographed bridge in Maine in Somesville and the famous Lighthouse on the coast, Bass Harbor h
Head Light. We had fun walking on the rocks once again trying to get a good shot of the lighthouse. Kayla and Kevin left a little more in the woods on the quiet side then was there before they arrived. Getting a little tired of the rain, we decided to head back into town for dinner on our last night in Bar Harbor. We had a great dinner, strolled through the town, pretended to be British and shopped a bit more. Tomorrow we head north to Moosehead Lake for sightseeing and rafting.
