Cadillac Mountain

 Travis's cousin contacted us mid May to see if she could stay with us for a couple of night during her road through New England. We haven't seen her in years so we were so so excited.
 One of the things she wanted to do was a hike in Acadia National Park. After looking some hikes up for something we could reasonably do in a day with a baby we decided on Cadillac Mountain.
 Harper did really well at first, but then she started getting fussy.

 This is just half way.

 She was exhausted.

 There was a whole patch of Lady Slippers close to the top. They are endangered so it is illegal to pick them.
 I've hiked a fair amount in my life and this is by far the most beautiful scenery I have seen yet.
 The mix with the ocean and the mountains together was just breath taking.

 She was so happy to get out of that pack and have a break. Poor girl screamed almost the whole way down.
 It was so much fun to talk to Melinda and hang out for the whole day. I really truly enjoyed the whole time and hope to see her again soon.
