Up, Up and Away

We had a very exciting trip this morning.  We hopped in a Cessena 172 and our pilot gave RoxAnne and me a very scenic trip 1500 feet above Acadia National Park.  The flight went around the perimeter of Acadia National Park, highlighting Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, then the flight headed off shore to Schoodic Point to the east, Baker Island and the Cranberry Islands to the south and the Blue Hill area to the west.  Along the way we saw seven lighthouses and some pretty expensive houses.  One house that was in the process of being built has an estimated construction cost of 63 million.  Wow.  In the afternoon we drove through the park and stopped at many of the sights we saw by air. Tomorrow we leave Maine and head westward to New Hampshire.
