Finally we headed out for Canada ~ going through Canadian customs was a breeze... we have gone through many times so we pretty much have it down pat as to what you can & can not do. We passed beautiful country on our way to Moncton, New Brunswick. I even got to see the elusive moose on the way but sadly it was to fast to get a photo.

I was very excited since
we had never been to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia. New Brunswick held our friends Elaine &Rick with whom we stayed with, Tassie was parked in their drive way for four days…
We had so much fun catching up, playing cards and eating and boy did we
eat! Elaine and Rick are the optimal
hosts and go way out for their company ~ she fed us like we were royalty. We had so much fun with them and I was really excited to be there not only
because we got to visit with them but also because they were going to share in
part of our adventures while we are visiting this area of Canada. We were all going down to Cavendish, PEI land of Lucy Maude Montgomery.

While at their place
they recommended for us to go visit Hopewell Rocks. Hopewell Rocks is about an hour's drive from Moncton, New Brunswick. The
park is well-designed and features an interpretive center, hiking trails and
visitor facilities. If you don't want to walk the trail to the Flowerpot Rocks
view point, you can take a shuttle for $1.50. The
Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, Canada are gigantic pieces of artwork created
by the tidal erosion. These fascinating rocks are covered by water at two
different times of the day but when it is low tide you can wander amongst the
rocks and explore these natural wonders.
The forces
of the tides, which vary 36 to 46 feet or more each day is really amazing. These large rock formations are located at
the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada.
The next day we will
all head out for Prince Edward Island. I
am excited about Elaine & Rick going with us and spending a week
together. So come on back and here about
our adventures.

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!
We have been so busy lately ~ my daughter's sitter had to go take care of her mom in Colorado for 2 weeks and that left her with no one to watch the boys when her & her honey worked... so Super Memaw & Poppy to the rescue... we stayed at her house while watching then rather then travel back & forth everyday ~ especially since she goes to work at 5:30am... last week we were there from Tuesday - Sunday... this week Wednesday & Thursday then that's it. We love getting the chance to spend so much time with the boys since we'll be heading out in Tassie for 7 months on April 1st ~ going up the East Coast all the way to New Brunswick & Nova Scotia... While up in Canada we will be visiting our friends Elaine & Rick from
E & R's Travels ~ I am excited!!!
Our summer trip ~ 2012
Like I said we are leaving on April 1st to travel up the East Coast... there are many things on our list of things we want to see & do but I was wondering if you all had any ideas of things we may not have thought about... I have gotten a few great suggestions. For sure we will be stopping in one of our favorite cities, Savannah Georgia ~ also we have ressies for 10 days at Cherry Hill RV Park in DC ~ We will be going to Boston to visit some of my family and site see ~ Along the way we will also be stopping in Philadelphia, Kitty Hawk, Richmond, Fredricksburg, Maine, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia... On our way back to Florida our plans are to go to New Hampshire, Vermont, New York upstate, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. So if you know of anything that is fun to see & do along the route or would like to hook up and meet with us ~ PLEASE let me know...
I would also like to say a BIG WELCOME to my latest follower ~ Carolyn Wilson... sorry I couldn't find your blog so I could link to it & let people know about it...
