Weekend in Bar Harbor

Christopher and I decided to spend this Valentine's weekend in Bar Harbor! It was fantastic and a much needed rest from all the crazy things that have happened in the last month or so.

We stayed at the Acadia Hotel which is an adorable little inn right in downtown Bar Harbor. Everything you would want to visit is in walking distance. They are open all year long and have a pretty awesome winter rate.

Much of Acadia National Park was closed, however we had a blast walking along the water front. It was freezing, but definitely worth a whiff of salt air and peek at the Atlantic.

We grabbed a beer at Leary's Landing Irish Pub and had a delicious dinner at McKay's Public House. Our host could tell that we were on a romantic date and put us at little table away from the crowds. The food was good but I would have to stay the best parts were our appetizer and desserts- duck spring rolls and Guinness cheesecake. I will definitely be browsing the Internet for those recipes.

I am so glad that we took this little weekend escape! It was very romantic and a nice refresher before starting a long week. I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day!
