Acadia National Park is a national park located in the U.S. state of Maine. It reserves much of Mount Desert Island, and associated smaller islands, off the Atlantic coast. Initially created as the Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916, the park was renamed Lafayette National Park in 1919, and was given its current name of Acadia in 1929. The oldest American national park east of the Mississippi River, its landscape is marked by woodland, rocky beaches and glacier-scoured granite peaks such as Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the United States’ East Coast. The bayside town of Bar Harbor, with restaurants and shops, is a popular gateway.
I was looking into taking a vacation over Christmas break, and Milica from Trip Designs suggested going to Hawaii, and to be more specific, island hopping. First we went to Oahu and next to Kauai. As I never been to Kauai I needed some ideas on where to stay, and based on Milica's suggestion we strayed at Sheraton Kauai Resort. I was so glad I followed her suggestion, as the hotel had beautiful views, nice beach and it's very kids friendly. They also offer breakfast buffet, with a wide variety of food, perfect for picky eaters as well as grownups. Nothing beats the fresh bowl of pineapple for breakfast! Pool was perfect for kids, but the best part was surf lessons. My 8 year old son learned how to surf thanks to the best surf instructors! Thank you Trip designs for making my Christmas break so enjoyable.
