Time for another quick post. This past weekend Jen and I finally felt the girls were all at a point where we could leave them for a couple nights and have things go smoothly, so Friday afternoon for the first time in two years just the two of us headed off for a weekend together. We took advantage of a spring special package up in Bar Harbor and left the girls with Grammy and Grumpet. We got to town around 7:30 and checked into our hotel before heading up Cadillac Mountain for some star gazing. The next morning we got up at 4;15 to go watch the sunrise from the summit and go for a sunrise hike. Then we had breakfast and headed of for another hike. Back in time for a quick nap, shower and a nice dinner at the Bar Harbor Inn that was included in our package. The next morning we slept in a bit, had breakfast and headed out for the Schoodic Peninsula, a very seldom visited part of Acadia that is on the mainland about 30 minutes north of Ellsworth. It's always quiet there but we only saw a few other cars and no other people when we went for our third and final hike before heading home. We got back to town to find all three girls had had a great weekend and didn't seem to have missed us one bit. Maybe since things went so well we'll do it again in the fall for our anniversary!! :-) For now however he had a great weekend and 48 hours away seemed like just the right amount of time. We couldn't have done it without Grammy and Grumpet so thank you to them again! If you'd like to see some of the many many pictures we took (yes Jen was clicking away with her phone too) you can get to them right here.
