Maine<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We made a trip to this beautiful national park and absolutely enjoyed every bit of it. I did a bit of research to identify the kids friendly trails in the park and did a lot of hiking for two days. If you are not into hiking then I would there not much of sight seeing in here.<br />
The three most beautiful spots I liked in this trip :<br />
<b>Bass Harbour Lighthouse:</b><br />
We are big time fan of Lighthouses, I don't know why but we are attracted to its serene beauty. Although we planned to visit a couple of them in the national park area, we were able to make it upto only the BASS harbour light house. If you are planning to visit this anytime, do not forget to get down to the rocks, from the trail that starts from left side of the lighthouse. The view from the rocks down is absolutely stunning<br />

<b>Bubble rock trail:</b><br />
<br />
The most exciting trail with a wsome elevation. My kid thoroughly enjoyed the Hike. It about 1 mile round trip. We took about an hour to complete it. The most exciting part is to see the bubble rock at the tip. Nature at its best.<br />

Ocean ridge trail:<br />
<br />
Amazing view of the ocean with magnificient rocky cliffs. The trail takes you along the ocean ridge with beautiful view points. better to take this trail during sunset than in the hot sun.<br />

A nice quite trail into the woods, but the signs were not very clearly marked with miles, was little confusing for us. Didnt like the Maine mosquitoes in this trail that gave us a hard time and made us realize that we forgot the insect repellant.</div>

And last but not the least, the Carriages of Acadia. It was wonderful experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But we found it hard to get the directions to the exact place from where the rides start. The address in the website seems to be misleading and no where is the signs for the this site, unless we actually get near the place. Although we booked the tickets over phone, we missed the ride as we got lost looking for the starting point.Luckily we got the tickets for the next day.If anyone is interested to take this ride when you are in Acadia, please look for Wildwood stapples. </div>

These pictures were taken in Jan 2011, when we visited Barcelona. It was pretty cold that time of the year.<br />
All the main attractions in the city are well connected by Bus or Metro. Don't miss the Guell Garden, It was my most favorite place in Barcelona.<br />

If you are in the vicinity (around Belgium) in the month of April , don't miss out on this great forest, but check out the official website for the exact dates when the blue bells are in full bloom, before planning for a trip.</span></i><br />

April 2011.<br />
<br />
Keukenhoff is the Tulip garden of the world. The gardens were absolutely amazing , they were neatly arranged and the colour combination was breathtaking. Its ideal to visit the gardens by 2nd week of April when the flowers are in full bloom. We went there twice during our three year stay in Belgium. Loved every bit of it. These pictures were taken with our regular sony cybershot camera.<br />
<br />
Will post some taken more pictures taken with the DSLR when we visited the same place couple of years back in 2009.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>But one thing thats been bothering me in the recent times is that, If I look back and try to remember some of the places from my old pictures, I dont even remember the names of those like some specific waterfalls or a State park(Thanks to google, there is atleast a way to find out).It takes me by surprise that the landmarks and places which we really enjoyed at that moment fades into a distant memory. May be that's what happens as we age or is it just me?</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>But I want to remember everything, the people, places, the fun we had, the risks we took, the adventures we had, everything... so that, 10 years from now when I read my blog all that comes flashing back to my memory.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>So here it is, my new blog which has been in my mind for couple of years now. My attempt to log the memories through pictures. I think its a great way to remember the places we have been in all these years and the years to come, and also to put those tons of pictures in my hard disk to a good use.</i></span><br />
