East Coast 2022

Starting a few minutes down the road at Green Gables today. Think we’re going to save the three P.E.I. National Beaches until tomorrow so we only have to pay a one-day entry fee. We’ll see about going into downtown Charlottetown either today or tomorrow. Yesterday was a potato day…lots of potatoes at lunch and dinner,…

Rainy today…they’d been calling for rain all week on Tuesday so we switched what we were doing. Heading to the northernmost point of the island today. Nala still having tummy issues so hoping she’s ok today! Decided not to drive al the way to North Cape, but started on the west side (the Acadian coast)…

Headed east today…did parts of the Points East Drive. Started at Point Prim Lighthouse and Chowder House. It was nice because I had reserved but didn’t know if we’d need to do take out on the picnic tables, but they have a few full service tables for people with dogs off to the on the…

Bought some Gagetown cider and some fresh orange juice. After the market wakes across the Bill Thorpe pedestrian bridge (former rail bridge). There…

Very close to Maine (on the other side of the river behind the lighthouse). Drove about 25 minutes to get to St. Andrews by the Sea. Walked the Main Street but it was quite hot…

Heading to Fredericton today. Should take about 5.5 hours from Quebec. Stopped at a couple of places on the way to Fredericton. In Grand Falls, mom and I descended down 225 steps for a view of the gorge. In Hartland, we took longer than necessary to get some pictures of the longest covered bridge in…

Heading to Levis, Quebec City. Took awhile to get to the Quebec border: Stopped at the Big Apple for fritters, Nala seemed to have a lot of energy so took a walk by the water in Gananoque, mom had a bit of a dizzy spell so we had to dig out her meds, then she…
