Beautiful country--familiar with all of it. Consider driving up to the top of Cadillac Mtn. (in Acadia Nat'l. Pk) early in the AM
to watch the sunrise...it's the tallest point on that stretch of the Maine coast.

Have a great trip and a great life together !

The cog railway is a blast. Dirty, (from the coal engine) but good fun and a little scary at times. Hope your weather is good!
