We have been talking about body parts, animals and the change of seasons these past weeks. A perfect complement to it all was a carriage ride at Acadia National Park. I bundled the kids up with snacks and hot chocolate and we took a ride with "Junior" and "Blue" up Day Mountain to see the beauty of the coast...
Blue skies,
crisp air,
red and yellow leaves,
a deep blue ocean
and two cozy kids to cuddle with...
The driver was a great naturalist and historian recollecting Rockefeller's amazing contributions to the area while sharing information about the surrounding nature. One insight she revealed that I did not know, but have experienced when exploring Acadia, is that he purposely made the park roads and signs confusing so that people would get lost in the park and discover something new, rather than just rush to their destination. It makes me appreciate some of my hikes so much more, realizing that was his intention.
Such happy travels!

On my first trip to Maine when I was 14 years old, my parents brought me on that carrage ride. I still remember it, it was so great! I love Maine!!
I can't wait to take the carriage ride the next time we are there!
love,
Nana
