Goodness!! This food was delicious, and I strongly suggest anyone go and try it out. We walked around town and stumbled on a restaurant that came highly recommended, Havana. We even caught a kid frolicking in the water, but he mustвЂ™ve had no nerve ending because the water this time of year is still FREEZING!!! But hey, to each his own, and he seemed to be having the time of his life!ДЄfter our boat ride, which was about 2 hours, we were exhausted and so ready to grab dinner.

We saw so many couples just sitting here enjoying time together. It only took us about 15 to 20 minutes from the Inn to where the crossing started, and we stayed for a few hours until the sun went down. DonвЂ™t get ambitious with a car, we saw one try and they got stuck trying to get through all the loose rock areas. Bar Island is an island you could see right across the water and when low tide hits, you can easily walk to the other side or if youвЂ™re in a good SUV you can drive across. If you donвЂ™t like blueberries, wellвЂ¦sorry.ДЄfter dinner, we took a stroll through town and heard that crossing over to Bar Island was doable at this time. When you go to Bar Harbor, try everything blueberry. In the world? Yes!! In the world! I know, itвЂ™s crazy right? Now it was all making sense as to why we would find blueberry everything in town - blueberry jams, blueberry ice cream, blueberry pies, blueberry pancakes, etc.

When we asked our server, вЂњHey, whatвЂ™s with all the blueberries?вЂќ he responded that Maine is the number one producer in the world for wild blueberries. We were noticing blueberries more and more when weвЂ™d walk around town. As my mom scanned the dessert menu, she noticed they had blueberry pie.

Mom and I will laugh about that story for quite some time! Question is, would we suggest it? Absolutely, itвЂ™s beautiful in there, but just remember lots of bug spray!ДЄfter our tour, we grabbed dinner at our hotel and this is where Maine blew our minds. We both realized we didnвЂ™t put on bug spray (DONвЂ™T FORGET BUG SPRAY!) - I seem to remember packing up so fast and speed walking out of there and mom laughing so hard at me because she thought I was practically running and couldnвЂ™t keep up with me. As we were doing that, it didnвЂ™t take long before the biters (mosquitos) found me. We found this beautiful pathway that we had to stop at to take a few pictures. This was actually the perfect way to get off a flight - a walk in nature! We started walking through the path, and we loved how lush and green it was, like walking through a bit of a magical story book. Once we finished with getting our car, our first order of business was to check-in to our hotel but the room wasnвЂ™t quite ready, no worries! We hopped back in the car and headed to Orono Bog Walk to pass the time. We didnвЂ™t need it so much once we arrived in Bar Harbor, as the town is walkable, but we did need it for Acadia National Park (more to come on that gem later). Was renting a car essential? Yes! We used the car to get everywhere in Bangor, and of course, we needed it to drive down to Bar Harbor. When we arrived, we went straight to Hertz to pick up a car. We started our four-day trip with a flight to Bangor, Maine.
