Maine with the in laws August 2011

As I lay in bed last night, I wondered why God has allowed me to re-visit two places in this great county, Maine and Washington State.  We usually don't see all of God's designs and plans for our lives, so I wonder what He is up to!
Every time I visit, I fall in love again with His creation! From the pine trees to the majestic peaks, they all point upwards to the loving God, our Creator, who gives us opportunity to see His hand on this earth. I feel small but His love is great for each and everyone of us. My mom/pop in law came with us and I think they had a great time! Jim and I did get to  hike. We visited two new hikes: Norumbega Mountain and Elliot Mountain. Of course we climbed the Beehive and the Bubbles again. Lovely times.
 We stayed at Hearthside BnB.


 The "bar" of Bar Harbor.
 Lobster at Galyn's overlooking the Harbor.


 Sand Beach.



 The Bubbles at Jordan Pond.

 Gotta have those popovers!

On Top of Cadillac Mountain overlooking the Porcupine Islands.


 The Nature cruise was a must to hear about the history of the area and see wildlife.



Had lunch at the Lobster Claw. This below is a lobster roll. It was great!


George and Mickey went fishing on the Tiger Shark. Yes, that little boat in front!



While they fished, we visited the Rockerfeller Gardens. 




The lobster was calling again, this time at Route 66 diner. What a fun place!

Two lobsters for twenty bucks!
The blueberry pie was the best I ever had!

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying,
chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.
