Day 29: Nashua, NH to Bar Harbor, ME

We got up around 9:30am and packed everything up. We socialized for a bit with Nancy and Kallie after they returned from the brunch at the hotel.


We thanked Ron (and Pam, who was at work) for their generous hospitality. We got gas and got on the road for our four and a half hour trip up to Bar Harbor, Maine, crossing back into Massachusetts for about half an hour so that we could reconnect with Route 495 to take us in the right direction. It didn’t take too long to make it to Maine, and we stopped at a Dunkin’ Donuts so that Arielle could finally get the vanilla chai she had been craving.



Nancy’s parents had described the drive to Bar Harbor as seemingly endless, particularly in its final hour or so, and we definitely felt that, though we were glad to make good timing and pull into our hotel, the Acadia Inn, at around 6:30pm. Seeing the motels right around it, we were happy to have selected the hotel we did, and quickly dropped our bags in the sizable room so that we could hop aboard the free shuttle into town. We learned that there was road work happening on Route 3, which meant traffic only went in one direction and that we would need to take a loop through part of Acadia National Park anytime we wanted to return from town to the hotel.


It only took about fifteen minutes on the shuttle to get into town, and we walked around briefly before getting to our selected restaurant, Side Street Cafe. Abe ordered the steak burrito and Arielle got a tuna avocado melt with a Caesar salad on the side, both of which were delectable.



We went right over to the legendary ice cream shop we remembered from the last time we were in Maine, Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream. The line was out the door, but it was worth it. We sampled a few flavors and Abe got a scoop of the Reverse Root Beer Float, while Arielle split her scoop between the classic Cereal Milk and London Fog. More than full, we returned to the hotel via a very crowded shuttle, sadly missing the opportunity to roast s’mores that had finished at 9pm. We watched some TV and made some phone calls and got to sleep a little after midnight.
