 Hey guys, welcome to my vlog. If you're watching this, this is sort of like a little bit of a vlog in reverse because we're actually home now and I've been outside walking. I'm in my crudcy Patriots t-shirt with my, you know, I cut, I hate anything tight up on my neck, so I always cut the neck open of my t-shirts. But Jay and I ended up taking a trip and I'm going to share it in this vlog. I'm not going to really talk about makeup, although I will tell you that I did get the kick-ass, the soap and glory kick-ass foundation and it is a dupe for the CYO. An exact dupe for the CYO. Now, I haven't really put it to a huge test yet, although I have worn it for a few days. I actually have it on right now. I have the number five on, but it so far, I think it wears really well and I would say it is definitely a dupe for the CYO and there are those people that say the CYO is a dupe for the YSL. I don't know. I love my YSL. I love the ingredients of the CYO better and the kick-ass soap and glory has the exact same ingredients as the CYO. So, in an upcoming video, I will discuss my thoughts on it and show you or talk to you about my wear test. But, oh, bugs are really bugging me. But anyways, I just want to welcome you to my vlog. I'm going to put some timestamps because this vlog is all over the place. Barhaber, Acadia, Canada, you know, so I'll put some timestamps in it. But I also wanted to tell you when I came home, I hit a huge milestone on my YouTube channel. I hit 10,000 subscribers. Every single video that I've uploaded, I've uploaded because A, I wanted to share the content. B, I wanted to tell a story, a message, share my message, talk about beauty, talk about makeup, anti-aging. But more importantly, I did it because I actually love videos. I love creating them. So, to have hit the 10,000 milestone when I came home was like, I'm unbelievable. It's still a shock to me. So, I am going to be preparing a giveaway and by the time you see this, who knows, I'll probably have it already formulated. But I'm just super excited about that. I owe it all to you. What you guys have been amazing, amazing support systems for me. Amazing. And I truly appreciate it. So, we are off and running, right, Mr. Miguel Iquetti? We're off and running. We're off and running. So, we're heading, you know, we kind of like Kevin and Harman because the motorhome isn't done and wanted to go and do something. And so, we made a decision yesterday to just leave today. And we're heading up to ultimate destination. It's going to be Barhaber. And I think we're going to go over to, are we going to go to Canada? What is that island called? Campabella. Campabella. I think we're going to ultimately make our way up to Campabella. But we're going to stay in Barhaber. We're going to visit friends there, you know, a place where we normally camp. But we're staying in a motel. So, it's going to be a whole different experience for us to be motelling it rather than camping it. But, and then we're going to do a day trip probably to Campabella and a few other different things that Jay's driving. And, oh, we've got like, I don't know, I'll find another four hour road trip ahead of us to get there. Yeah, we're just going to ease our way up. Yeah, we'll make stops and just things like that. So, that's on the agenda. Chow. Chow, baby. Crossing over this bridge. We're on the other side. But remember when this was like just a little rickety little bridge. Yeah, it was scary. And yeah, I was going to say, I used to hate going over it. We arrived in time for cocktails and watching Jimmy overlook Western Bay and the Barhaber K-O-A. We were exhausted. It was a long trip, but we're so happy to be there. Made it yesterday to Barhaber. Checked into our hotel, our motel. Motel. Motel. And then we went and visited friends. And it was just, I don't know, as soon as we crossed over that bridge it was like so relaxing, you know, taking a deep breath and going, you know, it's here, Barhaber. So, today it is kind of overcast. It's been raining. We've had some power outages. So, it's not the best weather. And we are heading to South-East Harbour. Northeast. Northeast Harbour. And we'll see what the day gives us or brings us. We decided to stop at the Astakoo Inn and get some popovers, which is a super, super awesome treat. However, we returned away because they were full up. So, we took a couple of pictures, walked around and figured we'd come back another day. And we continued on to our journey to Southwest Harbour. It took us a while to get a parking spot that once we did, we got out of the car and we walked down the path. I'm speeding it up a little bit to the other side of Bass Harbour Lighthouse. Now, there's a set of very steep stairs that take you down to a rocky cliff area that we visit every single year when we're here. Last year, they started to do some restoration to the stairs. And as you can see, it's finished. I mean, the wood is brand new. It looks really nice. And once you're on this platform, of course, you look down, it's kind of, oh my gosh. But once you're on this platform, it's just a beautiful, beautiful view. And Jay and I walked down. And we, of course, take it easy, you know, being old folks. But at one point, some young kid just bypassed us on the stairs. I was like, oh my gosh. But it is just a beautiful view. We, one year, caught up with friends that were sailing into Bar Harbor. And we actually came out here and watched them leave with their boat. It was, it's just beautiful. Now, the rocky ledge in our younger years, we thought nothing of climbing down on the rocks and going way out and taking pictures of the lighthouse from this angle. But as we get older, we get a little bit more, I think, cautious. Or at least we realize what can happen when we break a bone or two and how long that can lead someone up. So I really was very, very careful walking down here. I didn't have the appropriate shoes. All I had on was flip flops. But, you know, I took, I took my time, made my way down the stairs. I left the kids all past me and we did get out to the rocks. Even Jay didn't climb out to the rocks as far as he normally does. So I, you know, we got there though. It was pretty, it was nice to see, and we just totally enjoyed it. And once we were done there and took all the pictures, we had to climb our way back up. And once we did that, we decided we were going to go to the other side, paved part, which is, I sped this up too, so you didn't have to go slow. But we walked down this whole paved area, which we normally do. And then you could see some storm damages. Anyways, it was wicked, wicked, wicked windy, really windy. But what a beautiful spot, vast harbor lighthouse. This is really pretty. And it's just one of those spots on the edge of the ocean where literally, I mean, the majestic Atlantic Ocean, you can see all sorts of wildlife, nature by beautiful rocky cliffs and majestic ocean and a beautiful lighthouse. Perfect. And then after all that walking and hiking, it was perfect time to try these chocolate protein and energy bars that were sent to me for review. I have to tell you, these are built far, they're 15 grams of protein, about 110 calories each, six grams of fiber, five net carbs, they're absolutely delicious. I'm going to do a full review on them in an upcoming video, but yummy stuff. I mean, totally yummy. What is it, Friday? To stop and think, what is it? I definitely need my wider lens. Hey, happy Friday, guys. Happy Friday. Jay and I decided to come up. Cadillac Mountain. To Cadillac Mountain today. And we're stuck on the hill going up. We're stuck on the hill going up. I don't know if you can see anything out there, but it is, I think this is like the 18th summer we've come up here. Yeah, at least. Even though we're not in our motor home, we still love coming up here. So we've come up in this mountain almost every trip, I think. Just about. Yeah. I don't think we, I don't think we've ever missed a ride to Cadillac. And we've never sat in traffic backed up this far. Oh, never. There have been times that we haven't been able to find a parking space that we've gone up, driven the loop and coming back down, but never sitting in traffic like this. It's crazy. So I'm going to turn the camera around and show you a little bit of what we're seeing. Monica filming. So I hope we make it. I hope we make it to the top because there are people that aren't turning around. And we slowly made it to a spot where we could actually park our car. We got around, walked all around out there and then decided to walk up to the rest of the top of Cadillac, which we did. And once we're up there, you can see there are paths that entrance way across the mountains. And it's just really, really beautiful. This overlooks Bahaba, Frenchman Bay. Just the vistas are nonstop on top of Cadillac. We've often said that we wanted to come here because this is one of the first places in the East Coast that you will ever see a sunrise. And we've never made it up there for sunrises. We have gone up for sunset a couple of times. People bring their folding chairs. They bring a picnic basket. They have bottles of wine and they sit along the edge of the mountain and they watch the sunset. It's just absolutely beautiful. Last year, Jay and I came up and we decided we were going to do the sunset on the other side of Cadillac. It was so windy on that side, but we sat there and sat there and sat there only to have it all plowed in. And we did not get to see any sunset at all. But it was one of those memory making trips. We laughed about it afterwards because we literally froze. Had the sunset happened, I don't think we would have gotten a decent shot because we were shaking from freezing so much. What you're looking at right now is Cadillac is Bar Harbor. And that is Bar Island over there. And when the tide is low, you can walk over to that island. Some people have driven and then the tide comes in and they get stuck there. So that Bar Island is a beautiful little island off of the town of Bar Harbor. And you can just see how majestic that waterfront looks. It's just absolutely gorgeous. There's no trip to Bar Harbor that's complete unless you go to Cadillac. Whether it's sunset, sunrise, or just in the middle of the day like we did, it is so worth a visit. We've been doing a little hiking. I don't know if you can catch these views, but oh my gosh, it's beautiful. And we went back to the Astakoo Inn after our hike and climb and exhausting ourselves on the mountain. And this time we got right in, got a beautiful seat on the edge of the water. He's having a lot of no-heat-o. No-heat-o. No-heat-o. No-heat-o. No-heat-o. No-heat-o is no-heat-o, isn't it? And where are we? Astakoo Inn. I was in Astakoo. North East Harbor. North East Harbor. And then we drove down to downtown Bar Harbor proper, and we actually found a parking space right on the pier. And isn't it gorgeous? I mean just look at all these beautiful boats, the yachts, etc. We walked up the street, went in and out of some of the shops, and then we went to this pathway that brings you down to the ocean. And it's about a mile walk from that point, or probably a little less, back to where our car was parked. So we decided we were going to do that walk and then head on back to the car. Yeah, I must be demon on either way. I sped up this clip, but I wanted you to see. It's quite a long walk from the road down here. Then when you get down to the end, it's just amazing. The views are just non-stop. It's a beautiful walkway, winds all along the ocean, the back of hotels, the back of mansions. Just really pretty places. There's plenty of places to sit. You can either sit on a bench if you're so lucky to find one, or on the edge, on the water, you know, on the stone benches, etc. We took a few stops, rested our little feet, and then just continued on back to the car and made it back to our friend's campsite to maybe try to catch a sunset. But you know what? Every sunset up in Bar Harbor, this trip for us has been fogged in. But there's Jimmy on the edge of Western Bay. And now check out my two and a half pound of lobster. That's going to be a two and a half. Two and a half. Look at this baby. Holy macaroni. Holy. And then we sat outside and had a fire. I think we stayed maybe about two hours and then very slowly made our way back to our motel because the plan was that we were going to get up super early the next morning and take a road trip to, we were going to go up to West Quattie Lighthouse in Lebec, Maine, and then cross the border into Campabella Island and in Canada. We're off to Canada, Canada, Canada. Do we have our licenses? Do we have our passports? Yeah, should be right here. You better check before we go. I'm going to double check. And here we are at the Quattie Head State Lighthouse. This is the park, and you know this is just, it's a beautiful lighthouse. I mean I think Maine just has so many gorgeous lighthouses. But as it says here, this is the most eastern point in the USA and Quattie Head State Lighthouse. What a gorgeous spot with a gorgeous view. Check this out. Quattie Head State Park is basically just about four miles off of the highway in Maine. It's in Lebec, a small little town, a little bit of a town in the easternmost point in the United States. It kind of sits on about, I think, 541 acres and it features over five and a half miles of hiking trails. It has forests, it has bogs, it has, gosh, so many beautiful plants, wildlife quarries, rock formations. There's places that you can sit. You can have the picnic. They have grills. They have just about everything, you know, someone could want. You could spend the day here. Outhouses, many grills, shade, sun, hikes, you name it, enough to keep you entertained for a day. So we always start here. Next stop, Canada. We made it over the border, just fine, and then this happened. We literally had to pull over, find a place to park because it became blinding. Pale, you just simply couldn't see. It was unbelievable. After waiting a little bit, it did pass, but it stayed dark and cloudy and a little bit of drizzly. We made it over to the East Quadty Lighthouse, which is where we had really wanted to have a picnic. Oops, and it started to rain again. You can see Jay took off and left me here. I finally gave up and went back to the car too. And then it stopped and we went out again. But the East Quadty Lighthouse in Campabella Island in Canada is just absolutely beautiful. Many years we've come here. We've had a picnic. We've been able to sit outside and enjoy it. And we've actually at low tide been able to walk across the, climb down some really treacherous stairs, lots of slippery rocks, but they allow you to walk across to the lifehouse grounds. And it's been amazing. We've been here when we've stood out the shore and watched whales jump. I've often said this is the only place that I could actually see whales while standing on land. And you can see there's no god whales. There's nothing, but there's gorgeous, gorgeous vistas, even on a cloudy, cloudy day. Now this year, interestingly enough, when we got down to where you could normally climb down the stairs and cross over, if it was low tide, they had it blocked off. They had it chained off. They were not allowing anyone to do that. So I don't know why, but that was the scoop. So, you know, maybe somebody fell, got hurt because as you can see, it's pretty rough terrain. And once you do climb down those stairs and you do walk over, you've got to go across slippery seaweed. You've got to climb up rocks, down rocks through little tiny staircases, you know, metal staircases and stuff like that to just even get over there. But it's always been well worth the walk over there, in our opinion, because it's just beautiful to be out there on the edge of the ocean. See how pretty it is? And it's low tide. It really killed us to not be able to walk over there. But we got here anyway. And then we went to the International Park that is Franklin, Delaware, Roosevelt, Summer Park. And we had a picnic here. We haven't even gone in yet, but we decided to take advantage of the shelter to have our picnic, since we got drenched over at the East Gaudi Lighthouse. Drenched. And after we had our picnic, we walked down to, at the end of the park, I guess it's where they used to bring Franklin, Delaware, Roosevelt down so he could either get on his sailboat or get off his sailboat. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. They have a museum. You can tour his summer home. You can tour his family's home. It's like a little compound. And then they have a museum building where they have all sorts of history about Franklin, about Eleanor, about the whole Roosevelt clan, including Teddy. And it's just really phenomenal. It's all free and beautifully, beautifully upkept grounds. And you can walk all around. Coming down here, Jay and I walked down. It's a bit of a hill, so if you're, you know, like hills, you might have a little bit of a hard time, but it's a really easy walk for us. And we just sat and we enjoyed and we just kind of imagined what it might have been like here when he was alive. So it's kind of interesting to know that a U.S., a United States president, had a summer home and grew up in this summer home in Canada, on Camp Pabella Island. That's why it's an international park because it has very historical significance for the folks in Canada as well, especially at Camp Pabella, as it is for us U.S. citizens visiting Canada. A seat with a view. And we made our way back through the traffic down to Bahá'á or to have drinks and dinner. So our last night dinner, and we're going to have it with a lovely little view at the chat house in Bahá'á or. Cheers, everyone. And after a quick dinner, we decided to take one more ride through the park. And at this time of day, there wasn't a whole lot of traffic at all. So it was actually really nice. We stopped at the scenic overview, which is always interesting to see it from this perspective, because of course, when you're on top of Cadillac, you see the same view. It looks completely different. So we drove through the park. We saw some wildlife, some deer, and then we made our way up to Bubble Pond. This is at Jordan Pond House. We didn't go in because the place was closed, but this was it for our trip to Bar Harbor 2019. Isn't it gorgeous here?
