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.
