We first stopped at the summit of Cadillac Mountain and did some exploring. The peacefulness that surrounds you when you're up there, especially that early in the day when there aren't that many other people there, is tangible. It is so quiet and so serene that it's hard to understand why the rest of the world is so chaotic. Anthony had a blast, really enjoying the "hike" and the fact that we let him walk like a big boy.
After Cadillac Mountain, we headed down to Sand Beach to do a 1 1/2 mile hike along the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic. Although Anthony wasn't too excited about it at first, we opted for the backpack this time since our hike would take us up steep rocks and along cliffs that I wouldn't trust him on, especially with his level of curiosity these days. Again, the views were amazing. It was hard to believe that what I was looking at was the ocean...from a mountain top. And the ocean was right there. Wow.
