This morning after breakfast we drove a little over an hour southeast to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Our first stop was the Hulls Cove Visitor Center, just north of Bar Harbor. This is the main visitor center for the park, but there’s no film here and no displays.
We then drove part of the Park Loop Road, stopping at Jordan Pond and Sieur de Monts. The nature center at the later doesn’t open until next month, and the Abbe Museum is closed for renovations, but it was interesting to learn that the spring there had a big impact on the area becoming a national park. 
From there we drove into Bar Harbor to look around and have some lunch. It’s a cute town but very touristy. 
Last week I made a reservation to drive up to the top of Cadillac Mountain, and after lunch we did that. We walked around the summit enjoying the views, and could have stayed longer but it was cold and misty, so we finished driving the Loop Road and headed out. 
We stopped for an early dinner at the Bar Harbor Lobster Pound, and got dessert at the Ice Cream Boat next door.
