Today is the big day that we drive to Prince Edward Island. I have only been looking forward to this since I was 10.
Our plan for an early start did not quite happen and we were not on the road until after 9 am, with an additional McDonalds stop along the way.
Soon we were back on the Trans Canada Highway through the wooded forest, with lots more beware of moose signs, but still no moose.
You can already see that a few of the leaves of the trees are beginning to change from green to orange and red. It would be a spectacular sight to see them in all their Fall glory.
In the distance, we viewed a small bushfire and along the road, a terrible crash which looked like the vehicle was a motorhome, it was now almost unrecognisable and in pieces.
We zoomed passed the towns of Fredericton, Oromocto and Moncton and stopped at Salisbury for a light motorhome lunch at the Green Pig Country Market and a play for the boys on the pumpkin blaster.
Onto the Veterans Highway, HWY15 and then back on the Trans Canada Highway.
A stop for gas and then over the huge, long, impressive bridge and onto Prince Edward Island.
And, it was as picturesque as I had imagined it to be, full of gorgeous green farms and pretty farmhouses.
A quick stop at Lucy Montgomery’s birthplace in New London and then onto our destination for tonight, Cavendish KOA Campground. Right in the heart of Anne of Green Gables country.
To say that I am super duper excited is an understatement.
A lovely ride to dinner from the campground to Chez Yvonne’s Restaurant and campfires and marshmallows for the boys on our return.
I am looking forward to exploring all things Anne Shirley tomorrow.
