Acadia Day 1: Popovers and Sunset


We started our first day in Acadia by circling around the national park. 
Mama, there is a beach on the side of the road, let's stop there! 


Then, we climbed stairs to the Visitor Center. Papa bought me a surprise gift, binoculars!


Mama made a reservation with the Jordan Pond House for a late lunch. There is a famous tradition of having tea & popovers on the lawn of the Jordan Pond date back to the late 1800's [1]. 


After having the famous popovers and tea, and rich lobster stew, it was the time to take a walk. 


We went back to our hotel after Jordan Pond House and waited for our next activity,  viewing sunset on  the Cadillac Mountain. According to the internet, at 1,532 feet, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and is the first place to view sunrise in the United States [2]. Sunrise might be a little too early for us, but we can definitely catch sunset. 


Nothing can be used to exchange my hot bath after a full day activities, even a glass of wine. Good night!
