We're back!

Did you miss me? We just got back from our week long vacation to Maine. It was great - secluded and very relaxing (if you can call any vacation with 3 toddlers relaxing). The kids all survived the 12+ hour car ride and only needed a few bribes along the way in the shape of toys and promises of ice cream once we reached our destination.

Of course I took a million pictures during our trip. We rented a house in Hancock (what a coincidence, huh?) overlooking Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The scenery was beautiful and we even got to enjoy the wildlife (whales, porpoise, seals, puffins, crabs and lobsters - all of which the kids loved!)

In fact, I have so many pictures that I can't share them all at once. So I'll share a few of my favorites tonight and then I'll put together a slide show for a subsequent post.

Maine forest

A lobster fishery (is that the right term for it?)

Petit Manan Island (home to many Puffins)

When the tide went down there were thousands of starfish right outside our house!

This was the view from our house - Acadia and Bar Harbor are on the right. I loved how the rainbow was reflected in the water.

And finally, my husband took the camera and got a picture of me at Acadia National Park. The kids and I were checking out the rocks on the beach.
