Creator's Key Takeaways
today I got to take Joe out for a little walk and get him some exercise because well for one thing I spent all night last night watching an old movie and matching up all the locations through Google Earth for something that I'm going to vlog in Italy
this is where for a few seasons they filmed Fantasy Island starring Ricardo Montalban so this ought to be fun
the Arboretum is pretty interesting because this property itself is a hundred and seventy-five acres wide and it's been owned by numerous people but the most famous owner was a man named Lucky Baldwin
I love this all right well the Arboretum has more to offer than just this so we're gonna move on out and hopefully I'm gonna find that spot that we just saw in the picture where Cassandra's filming a music video
