Last year we tried to shorten up the drive and go to the Camden Hills, but there were black flies there, so this year we sucked it up and made the trip back to Acadia where there are almost none of the bloodsuckers to be found, which makes it well worth the four hour ride when you'll be spending most of your time outdoors. We headed up Saturday morning and met Mike and Jess there. The first night was chilly, down into the 40's, but the next morning it warmed right up and never looked back. 75 on Sunday and 80 on Monday under blue skies made for a great weekend. During the day we had picnics, ice cream, hikes, hunted for sea glass, walked around town, cooked out and more. At night we had campfires under the stars, made smores, and had some great beers Mike brought while we hung out in the evenings and it was great to catch up with them since we hadn't seen them in a while. The girls were all great and had a good time too. Jen even said it was her most relaxing trip with the kids ever now that they are all a little older and more independent, so our first camping trip of the season was a big success and is in the books. Now we have everything ready to run smoothly for the big summer trip when we will be back there for a week. I don't want to rush summer along but I already can't wait. For now to see the pictures from this trip you can click right here. That's about it for now. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!
