Lobstah & Lily Pads

After Anthony woke up from his nap yesterday (which is surprisingly going very well - naps are lasting about 2 1/2 hours on average!), we decided to drive around and explore Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor since the weather was kind of blah - overcast and spitting drizzle. It was neat to see parts of the island that we hadn't gotten a chance to see yet.


Our outing ended at Thurston's Lobster Pound for dinner. It was superb! Thurston's is a local restaurant in Bernard, ME and is a no-frills kind of place. Totally our kind of joint. It's right on the water - literally. It's built on a double-decker deck that sits out on the water and the view of the harbor is so quaint. Anthony tried his very first bite of "wasahhh" (i.e., lobster) after numerous attempts on our part to get him to taste it since we first got here. He loved it! Hmmmm, maybe we shouldn't have pushed so hard, as it appears that dinners will now be more expensive from here on out! Uh, well.




***************

Even though the sun still hadn't seemed to find it's way out of the clouds by this morning, we hitched up our bikes and headed to Acadia to do a 6-mile bike ride around Eagle Lake. What can I say? It was beautiful.


And now, I sit here blogging and drinking Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale while Anthony naps and Mark is out fetching lobsters to make us spaghetti w/lobster cream sauce. Ahhhh, the life!

This blog of yours needs a new title...something along the lines of "We Travel...and are f***ing good at it."

Forgive my candor there, Mrs. Lewin.:)

I'm with Meg. That title would rock! Hi, frequent reader, first time "commenter"....
I'm sorry to see you spent so much time on your computer while on "holiday" as they say, but then again, I feel like I just went to Maine on vacation too! Thanks for sharing the great photos. You guys have some serious stones taking Anthony camping for a whole week! (golf clap........)
