Scenery, Shenanigans & Schoodic Peace

June 15th was such a good day. We kicked things off with a stop at the classic Acadia National Park sign, had to get the tourist photo, obviously. But the real moment was when Dale and I accidentally ended up in a full-on photo standoff. He was trying to take a picture of me at the same time I was trying to take a picture of him. We both had our phones up like, “Wait… are you taking a picture of me?” Total glitch-in-the-matrix moment.

Then we made our way to Frenchman Bay and Schoodic Peninsula, it was such a peaceful change of pace. It’s way quieter than the busier parts of the park, and it honestly felt like nature was just giving us a big calming hug. The boardwalk especially? So scenic. Every step felt like walking through a live postcard. It was one of those places that makes you want to slow down, breathe deeper, and just take it all in. It was quieter than the main park areas, which made it feel like our own little secret spot. The calmness there was such a nice change of pace, just pure peace and nature.

The views were so pretty it felt like we were inside a painting. Definitely one of those moments where you just breathe a little deeper and everything feels slower in the best way.

Then we ended the night with a ghost tour, one of the unexpected highlights of the trip was the ghost tour we went on and let me tell you, it started off as fun and full of laughs, but as the sun started setting and the shadows got longer... things got spooky really quick.

At first, I was walking around like, “This is so cool!” learning about haunted houses, local legends, and creepy historical facts. But then dusk hit, and suddenly every creaky sound and gust of wind felt way too personal.

Definitely had me looking over my shoulders a bit more than usual. A+ for atmosphere, though. Acadia by day is breathtaking, but by night… it definitely has a mysterious side. 👻
