New England Vacation - Bar Harbor

Mom and Dad couldn't leave Maine without eating famous Maine lobster at some point. So, we decided on West Street Cafe, http://www.weststreetcafe.com/. Excellent choice! The food was scrumptious! I'm not that crazy about lobster so I ordered some yummy pasta dish. The servings were extra large and the food was delicious.

Independence Day evening, D and I joined the rest of the Bar Harbor tourists for a firework show over the bay. It was really quite impressive. I really wasn't expecting the show to last for 45 minutes but it definitely did!

It was soooo crowded!

The next morning, we were at the docks nice and early. Did you know that the early morning whale watching trip is cheaper? We are all about saving money so we were there. The day was absolutely perfect for whale watching. We saw all kinds of things - birds, seals, puffins, whales. I didn't take any snapshots of the whales because I was too busy videoing. They are pretty amazing creatures though. Bar Harbor Whale Watching, http://www.barharborwhales.com/, did a fabulous job. The narrator was extremely informative and interesting.

The Queen Mary 2 was anchored right outside of the Bay.
