June 13th was such a vibe. We woke up ready to take on the day and set out to explore the Seawall and Bass Harbor, home to the most iconic lighthouse in Acadia. Seriously, if lighthouses had celebrity status, that one would be on the red carpet.
Somewhere in the middle of all the scenic swooning, we met up with Friends of Acadia. Friends of Acadia are honestly such a gem of the Acadia experience. They’re the kind of people who care deeply, not just about preserving the beauty of the park, but also about building community around it. Whether it’s through conservation work, educational outreach, or just being welcoming and warm to visitors, they go above and beyond.
And okay, can we talk about that BLT sandwich for a second? Absolute highlight of the day. I don’t know what kind of magic they put in it, but that thing was next level. The bacon was perfectly crispy, the tomato was fresh like it had just been plucked off a vine five minutes earlier, and the bread. Toasted to golden perfection. I took one bite and immediately had to pause like, “Wait… why is this sandwich changing my life right now?” Honestly, if that BLT had a fan club, I’d be president.
We headed back to Bar Harbor for a 6:15 pm sunset cruise. The views? Unreal. The photos? Let’s just say my phone was working overtime. It was gorgeous, but whew, it was cold enough to make a lobster put on a sweater. I was out there shivering like, “Did we accidentally book a cruise to the Arctic?”
All in all, it was a beautiful day of nature, new friends and good eats. 10/10, would do it all again, with an extra jacket next time.
