Joyce and I went to Maine for our 2016 summer vacation. We stayed at the Atlantic Ocean Oceanside Hotel in Bar Harbor. Just like in 2010, the view out of our hotel room was beautiful.

One of the highlights of our trip was a whale watching cruise on July 24th.

We spent a lot of time in nearby Acadia National Park. The park includes forests, coastlines, mountains, and lakes.
