I knew we were pushing it with our time constraints, but we couldn't be so close to Acadia National Park and not go! We drove a few more hours north, arrived at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island in the evening, and headed straight for Bass Harbor Head Light. This was our final lighthouse in Maine and the dramatic setting on a rocky cliff with the sun setting in the background was gorgeous.
The scenery was beautiful as we drove around the island to our hotel. We arrived just before the sun went down so we didn't get much time to enjoy the beautiful views at the hotel. Even though it was nearly dark and pretty cold, the kids insisted on swimming in the outdoor pool. Ben was kind enough to swim with them.
