Beautiful Bar Harbor



6-15-2010

We went to Bar Harbor while on vacation in Maine.  It is a beautiful place to visit.  It has all of the New England charm with the hustle and bustle of an active Harbor.  It offers shopping, restaurants, a beautiful walk around the rocky beach and a small strip of sandy beach, which my son loves. 

One of the best parts about going on vacation is the creation of memories to enjoy for the rest of your life.  When you go on vacation with loved ones it can be fun to reminisce about what you did, the things you saw and the great time you had.  We visited Bar Harbor in June and the 30 minutes spent on the beach with my son, his first time seeing a beach and the ocean, were about the most memorable parts of that trip.  This time around we were anxious to repeat this experience and it proved to be as much fun.


This was a beautiful fall day in late September and the temperature was about 75 degrees.  The temperature of the water was probably about 50 degrees but as you can see that didn't stop him.  He loves it.  After about 20 minutes we peeled off his wet clothes and dressed him in fresh warm clothes and jacket.  We actually drew a crowd who watched this fearless baby playing in the ocean.

Creating special memories does not require that you travel to some far off place or spend a bunch of money.  My favorite childhood memories are from holiday activities that we did at home as a family.  So whether you travel or stay at home I hope that you will take a little "holiday" with your loved ones and make some memories.  These memories will sustain and entertain you when times get tough or find yourself unable to get out.
