Today’s breakfast was at Jeannie’s again: we really can’t get enough of that place this year! It’s friendly and inviting, open early, and even though it’s always busy, service it great so things move quickly. This morning I enjoyed two wild blueberry pancakes and orange juice, and a few sips of Rich’s coffee. Rich had two egg and cheese sandwiches with bacon and a side of home fries (he must have been extra-hungry!).

While we usually confine our adventures to MDI, today we decided to travel to another part of Acadia National Park: Isle au Haut, which is a ferry ride of about 40 minutes from the mainland town of Stonington. Of course, the trip also requires a drive from Bar Harbor to Stonington, which takes about an hour and a half. It’s a beautiful drive through gorgeous scenery on the Blue Hill peninsula, in particular.

Both hungry and in the mood for eggs, we began our day yet again at Jeannie’s. Rich ordered two fried eggs and I opted for two scrambled eggs. We each had toast (oatmeal for me, topped with Jeannie’s trademark rhubard spread and whole wheat for Rich). We shared an order of bacon and an order of homefries, and had coffee (for Rich) and cranberry juice (for me) to drink. The atmosphere was energetic as usual, and it really helped to brighten up a chilly, gloomy morning.
