Day 10 - Acadia National park

Whew! We just completed a marathon day at Acadia. We boarded the 9:05 bus to Acadia, hiked 3 miles on the carriage road system, saw various lakes and other sights, sat through a US park ranger's lesson on animals of Acadia, returned to the campsite for dinner, then departed back to the park for sunset atop Cadillac mountain, and then a park ranger's lesson on the stars. We arrived home at 11:10 pm. I think we may have pushed the kids too hard because Brandon and Bailey fell asleep while we viewed the stars and the other two were asleep by the time we arrived back at the campsite. The night sky was very clear and I saw more stars than I have in a long time. Even the milky way was pretty visible tonight. After completing the animal and star education lessons, Levi, Seth, and Brandon will get their Junior Ranger badges tomorrow morning and then we will drive up to St. John, New Brunswick. St. John is really a stopping point because the next day we drive to Nova Scotia where we will view the 30 foot tidal change from our RV site on the bay. I'm not sure how accessible the internet will be for the next several days. The campsites in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia may not have access.
