Have you ever visited Maine? If not, definitely this state should be on your list. Many things to do, explore, great people and lots of fresh seafood \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In September of the famous 2020 \ud83d\ude41 we had our 10 year wedding anniversary. What a great luck!!! Before Covid -19 happened, we had lots of plans about how to spend this special day and where to travel.  After many different brainstorming ideas and considering safety, we decided to spend it in Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine. In 9 days we traveled along the coast from Freeport, Maine all the way up to Bar Harbor. Each place, town we visited in Maine was very safe, everybody followed CDC guidelines and we really felt safe to be there on vacation during this crazy time. Everyone wear masks, even in parks while hiking. There were mail boxes with free masks and hand sanitizer on the street in every town we visited.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of our trip, we drove from New Jersey to Freeport, Maine where found a hotel for first 4 nights. It is a great, not expensive town to book a hotel. When staying in Freeport, we where able to visit:<\/p>\n

  • Ogunquit<\/span> <\/strong>– A town in York County, Maine with a breath taking coastal hike The Marginal Way. In my opinion,  The Marginal Way is a must see in this region. It is 3 mile long, paved walkway. When you get tired you can relax on one of the benches and take many beautiful photos. There is also a lighthouse along the way. Ogunquit has lots of little, unique shops, galleries, restaurants and bars. There is many places to have some fun and beautiful sandy beaches. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Fort Williams Park <\/strong><\/span>– This beautiful park is in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It is not far from Portland, Maine and access to the park is free. You’ve just have to pay a small fee for parking. We took a cliff walk to lighthouse and back. It was a very relaxing, enjoyable walk with many opportunities for great pictures. Lighthouse museum was closed because of the pandemic but I hope it will be open after Covid-19 times. There is also a little beach in this park and many designated picnic areas. You can also take your own blanket, relax and eat lunch on top of the cliff. This was our option and I strongly recommend it \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
