Hooray - I'm 50! What an incredible two weeks it's been! My husband completely surprised me. All I knew when we left at 5:30 AM was that we were heading north, I needed hiking boots, and I'd never been there... It was Bar Harbor, Maine, and Acadia National Park! I didn't love the six-seater plane, but I'm alive and made it with some help from a prescription 🙂 We loved the walkability of Bar Harbor, and Acadia quickly became one of our favorite parks (and we’ve been to several!).
