Last Day to enter Friday December 2nd!
Today I would like to share another day of the cruise that Kim and I took in October.
I am busy decorating for Christmas. I want to be able to participate in the Christmas Blog Party.
So I will reminisce about our October cruise.
When the cruise ship docked in Bar Harbor, Main, we immediately went ashore and then climbed aboard another boat.

We took off on a three hour tour (scary isn't it) to visit the beautiful and numerous lighthouses of this rugged area.
It was a blustery day but we enjoyed the views of Acadia National Park
The coastline was rugged but beautiful. We would be cruising through the Cranberry Isles and their lighthouses
We saw many homes of the "rich and famous".
Bear Island Lighthouse
Bass Harbor Lighthouse
Little Cranberry Island Life Saving Station
Winter Harbor Lighthouse
Egg Rock Lighthouse
Back ashore, we couldn't have gone aground with all those beautiful lighthouses, we began to explore the downtown area.
A little silliness here and there! This was just too tempting!
I was surprised to see so many flowers in bloom. I guess I thought it got colder earlier here.
The weather changed several times during the day. We were told that was normal. It did clear up for a while however and we enjoyed strolling.
The flowers were beautiful.
All the sightseeing in the morning left us hungry!
Did you notice, Kim is not in any of these pictures. The windy weather was doing a number on her hair and she wasn't about to get on the other side of the camera.
Me, I don't know any better!

By the time we got to the top of Cadillac Mountain it had begun to rain extremely hard. This was the last picture I was able to snap.
After a wonderful day in the Bar Harbor area
we headed back to our ship for departure. Tomorrow we would be in Boston, Mass.
We loved our day with our gracious Maine brethren.
I am joining these fabulous hosts:

Dearest Ginger,
You certainly had a super time together! Even though Kim did not want to be caught on camera, you sure have fond memories of each other enjoying this special trip. What a great lobster you were holding there!
Thanks for sharing all the lighthouses with us.
Have a great Wednesday and remainder of the week.
Love to you,
Mariette
Great collection of shots.
I have always wanted to go to Maine and your photos gave me a little taste of it today. Enjoy your travels!
Isn't Bar Harbor just terrific. We were there this fall as well -- we didn't do the lighthouse tour but enjoyed the town, had the BEST lobster roll and found the Bar Harbor Tea Company -- brought home some wonderful blueberry tea!
The view of the harbor from the downtown park was wonderful!
Thanks for bringing back some fun memories!
AHHH..Ginger your cruise looked so fabulous. I love the shot of of you with the lobster. All your photos are fabulous.
what a beautiful cruise. i really want to get up that way some day! you look so cute with your lobster!
What a fun cruise. Great photos!

Now, this is an interesting way to see many lighthouses without all the driving. Maine coastal scenery is so beautiful. I got to Camden, just up the coast, in October and really enjoyed the beauty there. We live in New Brunswick,Canada, just next door to Maine. Your cruise up the coast would be a wonderful adventure!
Hey *neighbor* you have some gorgeous pictures here, looks like such a lovely trip! I am your newest follower cause I love photography and you are great at it and travel and fellow grannies! :)
I love visiting Maine. Does the 3 hr Lighhouse cruise only depart from Bar Harbor? I'd love to see the lighthouses this way. Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures.
Wishing you a beautiful holiday Savannah Granny! From Grace
It all looks wonderful. What a beautiful site. We do all love lighthouses, and I am always fascinated about how different they are than ours in the south.
I've been sick with a terrible cold and cough. This is the third week, and I am slowly getting better. Now my sweet husband has it.
I hope you will join us every Pink Saturday during the holidays as we celebrate together.
Oh I am so glad we got to see more gorgeous pictures of your wonderful cruise! You gals did it up right, it looks like you had a blast!!

I loved looking at the lighthouses. I have never seen one in person and always thought they were little towers poking into the sky, not attached to houses or buildings. This is so interesting!
Hugs, GraceinAZ
The lighthouses are such treasures! Thanks for sharing with us at the Bunny Hop.

Such a beautiful place! I hope to make it to Maine one of these days. I've had a love affair of sorts with lighthouses since I was little. Thanks so much for sharing more of your vacation pics with us. xo
Glad you had fun and could share these great photos, but it looked cold to me ;)
You didn't mention if the water was rough... can you tell I'm not much of a sailor? lol
Thanks for sharing again at my Bunny Hop.
