It isn't often that a "work-related" drive covers a thousand miles of peak Fall color, so we jumped at the chance to road trip it to Bangor, where Kristen will start a 2 month locums gig. On the recommendation of our friend, Angela, we stopped in Marquette, Michigan, and were not disappointed in either the views of Lake Superior (above) or the quaint and cool little city.
After stopping a second night and spending an afternoon in Sault St. Marie, we covered the Eastern third of Canada in an epic drive, during which we gawked at the beautiful countryside, but only remembered to pick up the camera and snap a photo through the windscreen once. Luckily, it wasn't a bad shot (below).
After doing the by-now-standard Spoltorienting pedestrian tour of Bangor (and boy, was it nice to be on foot again!), we headed down to the kitschy but fun Bar Harbor (below), where we enjoyed some lobster rolls, lobster chowder and wild blueberry pie before heading into Acadia National Park.
Not really sure what to say, other than it was a brilliant day with seemingly endless gorgeous views. Enjoy!
