Lighthouse views on our honeymoon in Maine and Campobello Island

During our honeymoon, my wife and I viewed several lighthouses in Maine and Campobello Island, Canada. A few photos of these are shown below.

We saw this from land; it would be better viewed from the sea.

Schoodic Point, Acadia National Park

Below are seven photos from Schoodic Point, Maine, from when we were on our honeymoon. Schoodic Point is located North across the bay from Bar Harbor and the main part (Mount Desert Island) of Acadia National Park. It has a lot of neat coastal views and is lesser known than the Mount Desert Island section.









This last photo below is a picture of where we stayed during our honeymoon. It is a part of the Quality Inn at Bar Harbor, Maine. We were in the last room on the right. The room contained two queen size beds and a kitchenette.

Sunsets and more from our honeymoon vacation

Two different evenings during our time in Maine, we went to the top of Cadillac Mountain to watch the sun set. As you can see in the first photo below, the one evening was quite windy and chilly - actually my wife would dispute that; she would say COLD.








This last photo is a bonus; it was taken back home in Pennsylvania. The last eight days before the wedding I was living on the farm and had to travel a long, dusty lane twice a day. The day before the wedding I was at my now wife's home and one of her friends wrote on my car as shown above. Made me smile!

Some pictures from our sightseeing during our honeymoon in Maine

Below are a sampling of photos from some of sightseeing in Maine. There will be other series coming including sunrise, lighthouses, sunsets, and perhaps some pictures from Campobello Island, Canada. There may also be a series of pictures from Schoodic Point which is a lesser known part of Acadia National Park. Except for the photo of the Wild Blueberry Land Gift Shop, all the photos below are from the main part of Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine.

We're back! :)




Just a short note to let you know that I and my wife are back from our honeymoon in Maine and a little bit of Canada. This is just one of many pictures to come from our sightseeing up North. This is a sunrise photo from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine. We had an excellent trip; but it feels good to be back home, too. :) Look for more posts from me in the days to come. And thanks to all of you for your best wishes.
