I can drive. Really. 2009/07/26

We went to Acadia National Park, again, today. This time we were going to Cadillac Mountain on Mt. Desert Island. We got lost. AGAIN. Ok, it’s 1. the highest MOUNTAIN on 2. an ISLAND. HOW can my HUMANS notfindthis?!! Will someone puh-leeeeeeease letmedrive??!! Plan B. Again. We drove (like it was planned. pppffft. It’s what we found while we were ‘not lost looking for Cadillac Mt.’) to Northeast Harbor.
The day was blanketed in thick fog and mist. And although, it wasn’t what you’d wish for, it was amazing. Magical, even. Driving, driving, driving and then….you would see water, boats, rocks, slowly reveal themselves from the mysterious fog. It was so cool. We’re going back sometime when it’s a clear day. Wonder if we’ll get lost? (ppfft) I can drive. REALLY.

We found this amazing cove tucked behind a huge wall of river rocks in the thick fog on a hairpin curve. Mom didn’t want to leave. Auntie J. said it’s quintessential Maine coast.

Mom said it was a little tricky taking photos, today. But, HEY (!), at least she wasn’t so grumpy after Auntie J. found her a new camera battery charger!

Southwest Harbor Mount Desert Island, Maine 2009/07/26

Yesterday, we drove to Southwest Harbor on Mt. Desert Island in Acadia National Park. It started out warm and sunny. We stopped in Somesville, Maine. Mom had always wanted stop and poke around, instead of just driving through, so we did! Then we tried to go to Seal Cove, but we got lost. AGAIN. Mom was there once before I was born. She wanted to go back because it’s so beautiful, but Auntie J. and she can’t seem to not get lost trying to get there. They keep making all the wrong turns and just circling back onto Rt. 102. …Besides, it’s an island! HELLo. How can you get lost on an island?! I told them I should’ve been driving. They didn’t listen.

We gave up and drove on to Bass Harbor and had a picnic of lobster rolls. By that time, this amazing foggy mist rolled in. It was awesome! It was cool and damp, but not cold. Mom loved it. I went nuts sniffing all the fishy, oceany smells. /\_/\ To see a set of black and white photos from our day, click here. After we left there, we drove to Bar Harbor. By that time, it was dark. There were people everywhere. Mom said it’s almost peak tourist season, so it was kind of crazy. We had to stay in the car while Auntie J and Mom walked around. We had fun people watching. Then we drove home. It was a rilly good day, even though Mom got rilly grumpy because her camera batteries went dead and her charger wasn’t working. eek.

Maine Shedders 2009/07/24

And not as in my blowing coat in Maine. all over Auntie J’s house. …well, maybe, I’m not sure. …ANYway, tonight, we’re having new shell Lobster (in Maineglish, that’s ‘lobstah‘) just snatched from their Maine traps.

A Lazy Thursday Afternoon 2009/07/24

Auntie J. left work early so we could drive to Rockland, Maine. We drove down 1A along the winding coast of Maine. We stopped in Camden Hills State Park and went to the top of Mount Battie overlooking Camden Harbor and Penobscot Bay. It’s the best view of Maine, second only to Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.

It was so beautiful up there! There were a number of people and doggies walking about, but Mom said I was a very good girl. Being the GSD I am, I was quite concerned and very. ..watchful…but I didn’t utter as much as a boof, let alone a w o o f. To see a set of black and white photos of Mom and me from there, click here. We drove on to Rockland and sniffed around. On the way home, we stopped in Lincolnville Beach and had fresh scallops for dinner. Then it was just chillaxin’ in Pillow Palace II for the ride home.

We were supposed to go to Acadia, Mt. Desert Island and Bar Harbor, today, but it rained. …all day..and it’s still raining. Rain, rain, go away. …

Mister does MPBN-the redux 2009/07/23

Mister: I told you, Gita! I went back to MPBN with Auntie J., today and produced a movie, just like I said I would. Not only that, I visited, bossed, patrolled the hallways, checked on the Master Control guys and ran a meeting about programming! I practiced good meeting management skills and let the group download and process and yadayadayada. I got bored while all that was going on, so I chewed on my hemp rope and napped. They went on and on and finally, I had to say “Enough! We’re movin’ on and wrappin’ this puppy (pun intended) up. Meeting over.” It was a big day. I needed a nap afterward. Whew. Buildin’ my resume is exhausting.

Oy. He’s gonna be hard to live with for awhile. …Not sure how we’re gonna fit him in the car to go home!
