It’s the Anne of Green Gables Sightseeing Tour that keeps on giving. Well, I have waited a few years to get here…
Today we will be visiting Charlottetown, the capital of Canada’s Prince Edward Island, the host of the Charlottetown Conference of 1864, spurring the country’s birth and the home of the Confederation Centre of the Arts, where Wes and I will be seeing Anne of Green Gables, the musical.
Pete and Noah have decided to sit this one out…
Noah and Wes were once again ready for their last day at the Kids Kamp.
I combined my morning run and touring to take the last opportunity to visit Green Gables. I managed to arrive before the crowds but the painters were still working. At least I got a whole photo of Green Gables minus the tourists, however, with the painters.
After a lovely walk around the home and gardens, the tour buses began to arrive and it was time for me to leave.
A nice run back to the campground.
The 11 am checkout time arrived and it was also time to pick up Noah and Wes from the Kids Kamp. Once again they had a brilliant time, making Harry Potter wands, playing games, enjoying the attention of the camp leaders and kids.
A stop at the KOA shop to collect their slushie winnings from the scavenger hunt.
The Cavendish KOA has been by far the friendliest and best family campground we have stayed in the USA and Canada. It even had a 24hr laundry and good internet, what more could a girl ask for…
Off and onto Charlottetown.
We decided to park the motorhome at Walmart and take a cab in, rather than try and park it in busy downtown.
A quick stop at Starbucks for lunch and then Wes and I were off to the Confederation Centre of the Arts to see Anne of Green Gables the Musical. After a 3.5 hour show, we left wanting more (I was left wanting more). It was fantastic and a great way to finish our Anne of Green Gables sightseeing tour (my Anne of Green Gables sightseeing tour).
There is another musical, Anne & Gilbert, based on the books Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island, however, I think I may be pushing my luck trying to extend the tour.
Although the boys have enjoyed the Prince Edward Island scenery, they still have no idea who Anne of Green Gables is, and my obsession with her.
Back in a taxi to the motorhome and to Peter and Noah who had enjoyed a lovely walk back from Charlottetown (not so much for Noah) and done the shopping while we were away. Pete even spotted a barge with my other name, ‘Beaver Kay’.
And, onto our destination for tonight, Cornwall/Charlottetown KOA.
We have a spot overlooking the river however the mosquitos are so bad it is difficult to remain outside.
Where to tomorrow? Even we are not quite sure yet.
