NOBODY told us it was fire alarm day!

Lets just say, we missed the memo about fire alarms all day today! Day 1 in Maine started out with someone set the fire alarm off in the house. Now back home in Texas there are fire alarms set up through out the house...here, there is an alarm in every room, in every hallway, in every corner it feels like. The alarm noise is different too. It's not as loud but its in every room and gets louder in certain rooms than other. Let's just say, getting ready yesterday morning was interesting. Kids walking around with rolled up paper towels in their ears as ear plugs, people yelling over the alarm, headaches at 7am, it was just peachy!

If any of you have known me for any period of time, I am very adventurous.  If I see an old abandoned house, you can bet I will be one of the first to crack that door open! Basements?! YES SIRRRR! Well there is a cellar outside. Guessing like a storm shelter? There is a random door in the kitchen that leads to a basement I would assume (based on the structure of this house compared to the last house we stayed in---we are thinking they had the same builders due to the similarities), but it is locked :/ My only other option was the cellar. Well I got the door open and I found the main alarm!   HALLELUJAH!!! Shovels and rakes lined the stairs and it looked as if that was my last adventure...ever! Very creepy. Almost like something you would see on Criminal Minds or Law and Order with knives, syringes and tools. None of that was down there but by golly I got the goosebumps! Anyways, the alarm that was down there spoke to you. YES, it talked to me. It would make the ringing sound 3 times, pause, 3 more times then say, FIRE FIRE. 3 rings, pause, 3 rings, FIRE FIRE. (weirdest fire alarm I have ever heard.) After a few minutes, I still couldn't figure it out and it was time to leave for breakfast...and of course, being the redneck geniuses my family is, we ended up duck-taping the speakers on all the alarms to muffle the noise! Anddddd left for breakfast!
(during the day we kept hearing alarms go off, in restaurants, sirens, alarms, you name it!)

Cafe This Way. An AWESOMEEEEE cafe with some of THE best breakfast combos. 

That is called the KITS BURRITO!!! Amazing!! If you go to Bar Harbor, this is a must!

The COUNTRY BREAKFAST is like Ihop's 2x2x2. If you know me (..CHARLIE..) when I go to Ihop, that's all I get, And this is like the 2x2x2 but on steroids!!

After an amazing breakfast, we walked the town, went shopping and just explored. Sat down on the Village Green and enjoyed the morning! 

If you only knew how beautiful this place is. Pictures do NOT do it justice!

After an eventful morning of running around town and soaking up the Maine scenery, we went back to the house for NAPS! Yes, Naps! I love nap time. You wouldn't think that after a morning of breakfast and walking we would need a nap, but let me tell you one thing, naps are amazing and any chance you get for one, TAKE IT! You'll need it!

I was lost in an awesome dream for a few hours, woken up to load up for a hike! I dont know any other way to be woken up that is better than going for a hike! We started at Wild Gardens of Acadia Nature Center then hiked the Hemlock/Jesup Loop. 

 Moved on to the Satterlee Trail to Great Head Trail to Sand bBeach. 

We then picniced at Fabbri Picnic area on Otter Point. 

Yesterday was amazing. Beautiful. Peaceful. Breathtaking. All in all it was an amazing day. My Uncle has used our GoPro to make videos of each day. Here is yesterday Morning. The Hike will come later as we have SLOWWWW internet connection and it takes approximately 39 hours to upload to YouTube!
