chan took amelie and bailey to downtown bar harbor while boun, dad, bagel, and i went hiking around jordan pond. it was 3.5 miles total, but it was beautiful. the water was crystal clear. i wanted to jump in so bad, but since it’s a public water source, it wasn’t allowed. after the hike, we went back to the airbnb to relax before going to dinner at a restaurant called geddy’s. because our party was too big, i sat at a table with uncle dave, chan, and aunt yiren. the restaurant was filled with old film photos, maine artifacts, and a random painting of a topless woman on the wall behind us. after a fulfilling dinner, we went back to the airbnb where i sat in the hot tub with boun and uncle dave, but not before a trivia game with everyone else. it was such a busy, yet relaxing day. it makes me think i’ve been missing out by not taking trips all these years, because i rarely leave the house.
this must be what vacation feels like…
