Maine Trip Pictures

August 2001

Christel family by the ocean in Acadia National Park

From moose hunting to frog catching at Lily Bay State Park, from forests to the ocean at Acadia National Park, from beaches to mountain climbing, Maine had it all! From being chilled by the brisk Atlantic Ocean to being intrigued by crabs and starfish in tide pools, we had many unforgettable experiences, a few of which are captured here.
