Prince Edward Island

So our ferry crossing from Newfoundland was very uneventful; we were all exhausted and slept for 10 of the 15 hours! We drove to Caribou, Nova Scotia and hopped on another ferry (a little over an hour only) and took it to Prince Edward Island (Harold, thanks for that tip! You saved us so much driving time and you were right that the ferry runs pretty often, we only had to wait 20 minutes!) We are in Cavendish, PEI right now. This island is gorgeous but it's cold tonight! Feels more like an October evening than July (Mom, you would love it!). What we've seen of the island so far has been lots of green, rolling hills and farmland...right alongside beautiful ocean scenes!

 

We had a fantastic dinner tonight (as you can see in the picture) of Newfoundland snow crab, compliments of cousin Wayne and Rose (thanks so much!!). We're sitting by a great campfire and are about to make some s'mores. We're only a few minutes from the beach so we're hoping it warms up a little tomorrow so we can check it out.

 

I'm posting the pictures that didn't work last night. This connection is much stronger than the one out in the Atlantic! The pictures are of the beautiful town of Placentia, Newfoundland and Cape St. Mary's (the bird sanctuary I mentioned last night). The kids are loving every minute of this trip. They especially enjoyed meeting and spending time with some cousins they didn't know they had! It turns out we have another Emma in our family, so we now refer to her as "Emma K." If you're reading this up there...we really want you all to come visit us in CT so we can spend some more time with you, and give us the chance to return your hospitality and generosity! John, Lauren really needs to visit Hoboken...The Cake Boss is waiting for her visit!

 

I need to sign off for now so I can move on to the more important task of s'mores! We're missing everyone, we'll see you in a few days!
