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!!!!
