Obamas continue busy Maine holiday

---

BAR HARBOR, Maine, July 17 (AP): The nation's coastlines have been good to President Barack Obama this week - first with news BP's gushing oil well is finally capped, then with a family vacation that got off to a spectacular start.
In the first day alone it spanned the tallest mountain peak along the Eastern Seaboard, a bicycle ride beside a pristine lake and an exhilarating boat ride through a wind-whipped bay.
The vacation for Obama, his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha continued Saturday with other planned activities centered on Acadia National Park, a 47,000-acre gem that brackets this upscale summer resort.
The weekend was an idyllic punctuation mark at the end of a good week for Obama.
