The cRaZiNeSs that is my life part 3

SKYDIVING!!!!

Well, I survived the drop and let me tell you....IT WAS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD!!!! I really had a great time! I wasn't nervous at all and I was going on only 2 hours of sleep! It was great though! I feel like a new person! All my problems that I had prior to jumping don't bother me anymore! I don't know what else to say other than it was amazing!

I jumped at Skydive New England in Lebanon, ME.  I jumped from 12,000ft and I could see the White Moutains and Lake Winnippisaki (spelling?)!!! It was a gorgeous view! My instructor was definitely nice to look at too :)!!! The only thing that I didn't read about was the fact that my ears bothered me.  I mean, you don't think when you get there that you will be up in the plane and that you should've chewed gum!!! I know that for next time though! And there will definitely be a next time!!!

The most asked question I've gotten was: Were you nervous? Well, to be honest, not really.  I was fine prior to entering the plane and all the way up to the door opening.  I did take a deep breath in when I was on the ledge of the door in the plane and realizing what was about to take place.  But it was a rush and I really wasnt all that nervous.  I was more nervous when the parachute went up and they take you on a rollercoaster-like ride to the right and left when they control it.  I got some major butterflies in my stomach when I did that!!!! I was also unaware as to the parachute opening which I jerked back for. 

It was great though.  I can't wait to go again!!! It's such a rush!

This posting is about June 12th!!!! First off, I drove all the way to Maine to go skydiving just to have to reschedule due to inclement weather. Ughhhhhh. So I rescheduled to go on Fathers Day (see The cRaZiNeSs that is my life part 3).  Anyways, I went to my friend Crystal's house for a Hawaiian themed birthday party!!! It was fun. Then, a bunch of my other friends were going out for Alex's birthday.  We went to the Salty Dog in Worcseter where I completed something from my bucket list: Riding a mechanical bull!!! :) Oh boy...was it fun! However, watching the video it made me realize I really need to drop weight!! I'm a heffer (or however you spell it). 

Anyways, it was still a fun night.

The cRaZiNeSs that is my life part 1....

So I haven't updated in almost a month because I've been so busy...So I figured I'd do a few posts with the same title but with different adventures I went on.  So lets back track and start with Memorial Weekend.  I went to Acadia National Park for the weekend. It's my 2nd trip there as I went last Memorial Weekend.  I left Friday morning and arrived around 11:30am.  I met my sister and her friend, Ginny, up there (same people I went with last year).  We went into Bar Harbor and took a lobster and seal tour!! The seals were sooo cute and I wanted to take one home! :(  Then I took a nap at the campsite right next to the fire.  Oh and boy do me and fires have a love/hate relationship! I managed to put my foot on the edge of the fire pit so that my sandal could begin to melt and my blanket had a burnt hole in it.  Ahhh good times!!! After my nap, we went up Cadillac Mountain and I hula-hooped around the mountain.  Then, we went into Bar Harbor for dinner at Geddy's. 

The next day I woke up and ventured off to St. Croix Island National Historic Site and Campobello Island by myself.  You can't go to St. Croix Island but it was a nice 1/2 hour visit to learn about the place.  Then I found a sign along the highway that showed you were exactly 1/2 way between the equator and the north pole (45th parallel north) so that was exciting but not really. lol.  My next venture was to Campobello Island.  It is a part of New Brunswick so you need a passport to enter into the small island (only 10 miles long). I saw FDR's vacation home (Did you know he married his 1st cousin? yuck) and went to the lighthouse.  That was all there really was in Campobello Island.  Then, after crossing back into the USA, I went to Lubec, ME which happens to be the Easternmost Town in the United States so naturally there is a sign that says "Easternmost Point in the US"...And of course I got a photo! LOL!! After that I drove back to Acadia getting pulled over twice with just a warning and stopping at the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia that I've never seen.  Back at the campsite I just ate and hit the sack for the night. 

The next day I got up earlier than my sister and her friend so I did the loop road drive.  Then, ate breakfast (beer & cereal).  We went to the Bar Harbor brewery (Yes, at like 10am!)  Then went hiking! After hiking we went to a lighthouse then we hung out in Bar Harbor where they have the coolest store, Cool As Moose where I did the slackline and held my balance pretty well! Then we ate at the campsite and headed to bed.  The next morning I woke up for sunrise!!! It was GORGEOUS!!! Then we all left to head home! :( I did make a stop in Freeport so I could see the biggest globe in the world. And yes, it was VERY BIG!

So all in all it was a great weekend!!!!
