Little stuff like that was interesting. 858 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,320 But it would have been nice to be able to use that time towards sightseeing. 859 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,040 Because our Toronto trip was a quick trip. 860 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,840 It was about a weekend. 861 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,440 Just like three days? 862 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,440 Yeah. 863

00:36:02,680 So yeah, I got that regret. 867 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,160 And then I didn't go to the Canadian Football League game. 868 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,160 I wanted to go. 869 00:36:07,160

experience. 873 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,560 I didn't go because you and London Rose didn't want to go. 874 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,560 And I didn't want to go by myself. 875 00:36:16,560 -->

00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,720 Y'all could have been with me watching the game. 879 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,880 Could have been eating popcorns and hot dogs. 880 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,240 I would have been on a pirate ship. 881 00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:40,840 And then my other regret was that we should have spent the night in Niagara Falls, at 882 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,840 least one night. 883 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:42,840 Yes. 884 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,800 To experience the actual city of Niagara Falls. 885 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,480 I just wanted to look over the falls and have it turn pink and blue and green. 886 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,480 Yeah. 887 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,480 You have any regrets? 888 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,480 That was it. 889 00:36:54,480 -->

00:37:01,880 I didn't get to walk on the CN tower. 894 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,640 And I didn't spend the night in Niagara and see the water turn all the different colors. 895 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,920 And I did want to do the helicopter ride over the falls. 896 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,920 Yeah. 897 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,000 I've never been in a helicopter before. 898 00:37:13,000

00:37:23,920 We flew planes before. 902 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,920 Yeah. 903 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,840 You guys flew on a plane from Lexington to Georgetown, whatever. 904 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:28,840 Yeah. 905 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:29,840 I've never done anything like that. 906 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,320 I wouldn't mind trying it once. 907 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,320 Yeah. 908 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,320 So, yeah. 909 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,320 Okay. 910 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,320 All right. 911 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,320 Well, that's Toronto. 912 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,920 And on the way back, we finally make it home from Toronto. 913 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,360 We make that nine hour drive back home. 914 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,320 We didn't make it back all the way. 915 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,320 Why not? 916 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,920 Because we didn't get as held up at passports at the checkpoint. 917 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,920 No, I didn't. 918 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,840 Oh, that's when we were trying to get the dude to stamp our passports. 919 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:51,840 Yeah. 920 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:52,840 And he was like, there's a building over there. 921 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:53,840 And he was like, get out. 922 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,840 You can get a stamp over there. 923 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,840 I'm not getting out. 924 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:56,840 No. 925 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,840 The building was like eight lanes. 926 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,960 No, we finna go. 927 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,960 We know we been here. 928 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,960 I don't need to stamp. 929 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:04,960 All right? 930 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,520 I shouldn't have to get out of my car to get a stamp. 931 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520 You should have it right here in your pocket. 932 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:14,640 I know everyone liked the experience of going through customs by car. 933 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,120 We're used to doing customs in an airport. 934 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,720 The experience by car. 935 00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,240 It was quick. 936 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:22,240 It is a lot. 937 00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:26,480 But just the way that it looks, it's a lot like what you see on TV. 938 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,920 Normally, when we see customs, it's normally coming from Mexico to the United States. 939 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,360 And there's always somebody trying to jump the border. 940 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,360 But it looks like that. 941 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,360 You know what? 942 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,880 It looks like when you're going through a toll road. 943 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,000 That's what it looks like. 944 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,080 I was expecting for them to make us get out the car, search the car or something. 945 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,080 They didn't do any of that. 946 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,080 They didn't do any of that. 947 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,080 They just took our passports. 948 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,080 From Canada. 949 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,080 Yeah, from Canada. 950 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,960 They just took our passports and they take the little mirror and put it underneath your 951 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,960 car. 952 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,960 I didn't even notice that. 953 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:55,960 And that was it. 954 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,960 And it was like, bye. 955 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,160 So I can imagine. 956 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:06,800 So I imagine going through customs from Mexico here would be a different experience. 957 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,800 Totally different. 958 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,800 It has to be. 959 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,800 It has to be night and day. 960 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,400 Because it lasted like you said, going through a toll booth. 961 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,560 It was like a five minute process. 962 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:17,560 If that. 963 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,920 Because I only remember when we entered into Canada, I had slept. 964 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:23,920 I was surprised. 965 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:30,720 I drove the entire way and I slept the entire ride and when he had to wake me up because 966 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:34,760 the officer wanted to see my face to match it with the passport. 967 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,760 And that was it. 968 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,760 I'm like, wow, we're here already? 969 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:37,760 And that was it. 970 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,760 That was it. 971 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,880 And we just went through and that was maybe three, two, three minutes. 972 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,400 And it only took that long because he wanted to wake you up. 973 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,120 Otherwise, he would just took the passports and go on your way. 974 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,520 And right from the United States into Canada. 975 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,640 It was one dude working the whole booth. 976 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,640 It sure did. 977 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:55,640 It was just one. 978 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,280 And it was in the middle of the night, wasn't it? 979 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,280 No, we were there in the morning. 980 00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,280 So it was probably like. 981 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,280 Right before sunrise. 982 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,280 Seven, something like that. 983 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,280 Because it was still dark. 984 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,280 Yeah. 985 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,160 And they had like six, seven lanes and he was the only person working. 986 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,200 And he just checked our passports and like. 987 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,200 Yeah. 988 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaking of passports. 989 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,200 Oh Lord. 990 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,560 What about passports, man? 991 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,360 Man I cannot believe it. 992 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,560 We come back from Toronto, unpack the car. 993 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,920 And I go wash my car because it got filthy. 994 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:32,920 And a couple of days later, you needed the passports and I could not locate those passports. 995 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,120 Derrick pretty much cost our child a job. 996 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,440 What? 997 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,720 She was being looked at for a role actually in Canada. 998 00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:42,960 Why are you blaming me? 999 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,660 And they needed her passport. 1000 00:40:46,660 --> 00:40:49,840 And we had to decline because Derrick. 1001 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:50,840 I lost. 1002 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,840 Lost our passports. 1003 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:52,840 All three passports. 1004 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,680 I don't know how I did it. 1005 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:02,000 I think I threw them away when I was washing the car because we had a bunch of stuff in 1006 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000 the car. 1007 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000 I just probably pounded in this pile and tossed it. 1008 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Yep. 1009 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000 But you had to get new passports. 1010 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000 You and London Rose had to get new passports. 1011 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000 We did. 1012 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,000 But that. 1013 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,520 I'm still bitter about that one because it was. 1014 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,020 You had stamps in there. 1015 00:41:14,020 --> 00:41:17,080 We had all our stamps. 1016 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,240 And I think Derrick is slick jealous because I have more stamps than him. 1017 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,240 No. 1018 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:24,560 Way more pages stamped than him. 1019 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:25,560 Not at all sweetheart. 1020 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:30,160 He's still bitter about the fact that London Rose and I toured Europe without him. 1021 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,160 Sort of kind of. 1022 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,080 Sort of kind of. 1023 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,280 But I wouldn't throw away your passport because of that. 1024 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,120 Yeah so the passports are gone. 1025 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,400 We had to buy new passports. 1026 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,600 And I was really proud of my passport picture. 1027 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:53,840 Y'all when I tell y'all I used Prince passport picture as my template. 1028 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,880 I said man I need a smoky eye. 1029 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,640 I put on makeup. 1030 00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,720 I had my hair. 1031 00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:03,320 I was cute on my passport picture. 1032 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,240 And London Rose too she had a little collared shirt, a little sweater. 1033 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:07,240 Her hair is a little. 1034 00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:09,240 You guys look cute on your passport picture. 1035 00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:10,240 Adorable. 1036 00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:11,240 But your passports were damaged. 1037 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:12,680 You're going to have to replace them anyway. 1038 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,840 But I mean I needed to you know Scout had the little nibble on the corner. 1039 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,840 Yeah. 1040 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,840 But my apologies. 1041 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:23,920 But it would have been helpful to have it at that exact moment that we didn't have to 1042 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,600 tell her agent I'm sorry she can't. 1043 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,160 We had to decline because she's missing her passport. 1044 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,040 I feel very bad about that to this day. 1045 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,600 That was an opportunity that I screwed up for my daughter. 1046 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,680 But I'm sorry. 1047 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,400 However those passports have been replaced. 1048 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,200 I just couldn't replicate that smoky eye. 1049 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,800 Again try as I might. 1050 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,680 This new passport picture just ain't the same. 1051 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:52,680 It ain't the same. 1052 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,680 I'm sorry baby. 1053 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:54,800 I'm so sorry. 1054 00:42:54,800 --> 00:43:00,080 But I was upset because your passport was older than my passport. 1055 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,680 So I still have like six more years on my passport. 1056 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,600 So I had to start all the way over. 1057 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,920 I'm like oh my goodness. 1058 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:13,960 But anyway we've replaced since then and we've replaced the passports and I won't lose them 1059 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:14,960 anymore. 1060 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,440 No because I'm going to keep my passports on me. 1061 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,200 He was so anal about holding on to everybody's passport. 1062 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,920 I'm like no Derek I have a system. 1063 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,200 I like to keep my own passport. 1064 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,760 And for some reason his control just. 1065 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,000 I need the passports. 1066 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000 Give me them. 1067 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,720 No the passports were in the car for some reason. 1068 00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:40,800 I don't think I took them in the house. 1069 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,120 But you know what's going to happen. 1070 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,360 One day we're going to be rearranging some furniture or something. 1071 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,440 We're going to be painting the house or something and we're going to find them passports. 1072 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,640 You threw them passports away. 1073 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,840 I probably did. 1074 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:58,200 But I'm banking on that one day we're going to be remodeling the house and we're going 1075 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,400 to find those passports or something. 1076 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,400 Okay. 1077 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,840 Well that's it for Toronto. 1078 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,920 Later. 1079 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:14,240 If you made it this far you are the true champion. 1080 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:18,560 You could have been anywhere doing anything but you instead chose to spend your time with 1081 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,800 us and for that we say thank you. 1082 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:22,800 I'm Derek. 1083 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:23,800 I'm Makayla. 1084 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,120 Rate, like and subscribe. 1085 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,440 Do good be good. 1086 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:41,320 Until next time.
