Our Adventure to P.E.I.


We started our adventure with a six hour drive to Old Quebec City.  If you haven't been, you definitely should.  This was our second time there, but first with kids.  A completely different experience!

It was fun being back, hitting some of our favourite places including the Crepe place for breakfast, and the Funnicular ride.

The boys had fun exploring all the little shops and the balloon artist, and our horse drawn carriage ride.  The enjoyed the ride for a different reason than us, they wanted to ask all about the horse, whether the horse had friends, who were the friends, where did they sleep, etc.  We enjoyed learning the history of this old town.  
We spent two nights and they we hit the road for another 10 hours to arrive in Prince Edward Island, one of the most beautiful places I've seen.

Family vacations are such a treat, the memories made, the time spent together, and sharing new experiences with our kids.

My favourite day was the day we went into Charlottetown to see the Anne of Green Gables musical.  My fingers were crossed that the boys would like it, not only did they like it but they loved it!  The laughed and sang along, and cried when Matthew died, and when we left they asked if we could come back tomorrow to watch it again.  This was my favourite memory, sharing one of my favourite stories with them, and having them share the love of theatre.
