Holy MAC

This morning was forecasted to be a warm day, and so I woke up early—second in line to get my hair braided from one of my lovely classmates. I sat in the front passenger seat as we hit the road toward the Schoodic Peninsula, making several scenic stops along the way. At one of them, I enjoyed my sandwich with a view—honestly, it was great! Libby even caught a picture of me enjoying it. The best part of the morning? Journaling by the beach. It was chilly, but the breeze and the view made it the perfect spot for reflection (and some excellent content for my reels). After capturing photos and soaking in the sights, we split into two groups and hopped into separate cars. I chose to return to Bar Harbor for a little shopping trip. First stop: Coffee Hound, where I treated myself to an Acadian Turtle iced latte. 10/10, I will have this again.  Then came the highlight of my treasure hunt—a vintage store that felt like a time capsule from Maine in the early 1900s. I picked up postcards, a map, and even newspaper for Kira’s junk journal. Mission accomplished. 

But the real win? Lobster mac and cheese. Hands down, the best meal I’ve had on this trip so far. Rich, warm, cheesy, and totally worth the hype. After walking off the food coma, I headed back to the cabin for a quick reset—changed into cozy clothes, laid down for a bit, and got ready for the evening adventure. We returned to Bar Harbor after sunset for a ghost tour packed with tales and historic charm.  After a long day of exploring, we made our way back to the cabin—doors locked tight, of course. You can never be too careful after what we heard tonight.
