Finally (after 20 years) took 2 weeks off from work. Got Dave to say he would take a couple of days off too. Then came the big decision, WHERE TO GO? We discussed everything from down south to Canada. We were to leave on Sunday and return late Tuesday. Decided to go to Western MA. I always over plan a vacation so I wanted to just get in the car and drive, see where we went, but we needed a direction. Come the day before we were to leave we decided to do the coast of Maine, since neither of us had ever been there. As we traveled up we stayed at Freeport the first night and did the LL Bean trip the next morning at 6:30. I have always wanted to see Acadia Nat Park so I started heading that way and sure enough we checked into a motel near there and got a pass that night. We did get a little lost driving around the park at dusk but managed to find a place we wanted to see the sun rise the next morning and were we ever glad we did. WOW!! It was absolutely beautiful. We spent the next 3 hours in the park, visiting Sand Beach (another beautiful site). We were the only ones there walking on the beach. The weather was in the upper 50s and we were so relaxed. Got home around 3 p.m. and realized we had only been gone for 48 hours. These are great little get aways, I felt as though I had been gone for a week.
