October Vacation

Husband and I took a late fall vacation around the 24th of October to Acadia National Park on Desert Island, ME. That late in October and many of the trees are past their peak but we were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather, the national park was quiet with very few visitors and there were still some amazing sights to be seen!

Here are a few photos of our mini-get-a-way.

The new bridge headed north

View atop a mountain looking down on Bar Harbor

Truly Spectacular View

Driving through the park loop...look closly and you'll see some wild turkey!

As you can see--there was still quite a lot of colorful leaves still on the trees!

I fully expected to see a moose at this spot- It looks like moose habitat to me..but as is my luck---no moose to be found

Look at all that fading fall cover.

My favorite place in Acadia-- Sand Beach!

We were lucky to have such a mild day for our visit

Thats a view of the "Beehive"

Thunder hole but without the "thundering waves"

Our bed and breakfast in Southwest Harbor

Well, I have a million pictures I could post, but I think i'll save some for another day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Phew- I have had a very busy month and I sincerely apologize for abandoning my blog!! But I am back and I am ready to celebrate the fast approaching holiday season with all of you!!!!

I suppose you would like to know what I've been up too??

Remember that wedding I was preparing for in Chicago? Well it was fantastic!! Check out the pictures below. The bride, Jenica, found the most amazing photographer- I wish I could show you all of her beautiful photos but there are just too too many.

So here are some of my favorites. :-) Enjoy!
