Getting ready to leave and loaded to the gills

Kimberly picking blueberries on Cadillac Mtn.
Yum!
View from Cadillac
Up we go
Eating more blueberries
The Porcupine Islands seen from near Cadillac's summit
The four-masted schooner Margaret Todd
A happy boy with a blueberry soda. It tasted like a grape Nehi, only blueberryish.
Posing at the cairn where we SHOULD have turned.
Another cairn
Lots of cairns along the ridge
Lots of moss and lichen on a rock
A miniature campsite someone had built at an island in Long Pond, where we canoed on our second day
Ian and his kayak

Popovers and a splendid view of Jordan Pond and The Bubbles
The only moose we saw on our trip.
Kimberly at the natural seawall
Fencing with burning marshmallows. Don't try this at home, kids.

Ian met a really friendly German shepherd with a really slobbery frisbee.

Boats in Bar Harbor
A rose among roses. (Don't tell Kimberly I wrote that... :) )
The sandbar between the mainland and Bar Island at low tide
More of the sandbar

Ian next to a genuine fiberglass humpback whale. Note the white fins, as you'll see them in the pictures from the whale watch cruise.

A real lobster boat. (Those wooden traps are just for tourists)

Whale ho!
We saw four humpacks and watched them for 30 minutes or more as they hung out around the boat.
The whale's white pectoral fins show through the water
Two whales
Thar she blows!
The end.
Yellow biplane that gave air tours. We wanted to take a ride, but it was more than we could really justify spending.
Kayakers paddling under the catamaran.
Hot showers can sometimes be more important than lobster, I guess.
Ian on the carriage road
Me on the carriage road.
We found this Thai (really pan-asian) restaurant on our way home. Yum!
