Day 2: Acadia National Park 🥰

We drove 10 hours from New York this morning and got to Acadia with just about an hour of daylight left. My first impression is unmatched. This is now the best place I’ve ever been. The pine forest with the rocky coast is absolutely beautiful. Camping in the woods but hearing the ocean as I fall asleep is the best feeling ever. I would live here if I could. Obviously I will eventually do a more in depth post about this park.

Have you been to Acadia?
