Saturday, July 16th was the last day that Jared's parents were with us. Since they were leaving from Bar Harbor, we decided to go into town together. Here is a picture of one of the main shopping streets:
I loved the lobster claws on this restaurant:
Bar Harbor was originally called Eden when it appeared on an English map in 1796. However, the locals regularly called it Bar Harbor for the long gravel and sand bar extending across the head of the harbor. The name was officially changed after 125 years. During the mid-1800s, Bar Harbor became a summer village for the wealthy and continues to be the center of tourism on Mount Desert Island. There is even a ferry that runs to and from Nova Scotia.
There is a beautiful trail along the coast of Bar Harbor, which has about one mile of rocky shoreline. We couldn't miss this photo opportunity :) 
Here's another picture on the trail walk:
We had to get ice cream from this store, especially since there was a lobster mascot.
We did a lot of tourist shopping in Bar Harbor, and I especially liked this sign:
