Before we came, we had talked as a family about what we should do. The big boys were really wanting to go fishing. So we looked into lobster fishing and some fishing charters but they are quite expensive and we just weren’t sure. They kept saying they really wanted to go tuna fishing, but I kept saying that will never happen. Well while eating dinner at 7pm my sister called and asked if we can be in Portland at 7am. Now we are in Bar Harbor so it is a ways from Portland but when she said “I have a connection and I lined up a fishing trip with a guy who does commercial fishing not charters but he will take the family out tuna fishing.” as much as I didn’t want to set an alarm for 3 in the morning, that is what I did. And off we went. I can’t thank her enough for the awesome experience.
I have never seen the show wiked tuna, but our captain, Pete was on a season. Awesome guy. The whole experience was great. We didn’t catch a tuna but did catch a shark and saw whales, seals, puffins, lighthouses and other cool stuff. This is one of those stories our family will never forget.
After the long day yesterday, today we hiked in Acadia national park along with Mimi and grampy. Amazing scenery here! Finding parking was tough but we did the thunder hole hike to otter point. After that we went to echo lake and the kids did some swimming. Went to a lighthouse had a yummy clam chowder and blueberry pie supper and came back for a campfire. We are sure enjoying spending time with my parents today. Unfortunately they need to go home tomorrow.
