Acadia National Park was the first national park that my son ever visited. When he was just six months old, we took a family trip to Bar Harbor, Maine to explore the park together.
We ate plenty of lobster rolls, and he had some very scenic bottles along the way. We hiked out to Bar Island at low tide and even dipped his feet into the ocean for the first time. Later, we drove up Cadillac Mountain in the afternoon to take in the incredible view.
Because it was the first national park we visited with our son, it felt only fitting that the first block in this crochet blanket would represent Acadia.
Materials
