Now that I've finished blogging about this family trip to the Maritime provinces It's time to wrap it up with a few thoughts. This is the first trip I've taken since the start of the pandemic that involves plane travel. It's also a special trip in the sense I get to experience it with my parents! If you've spent the time to read through the whole trip, I appreciate it! If not and you want to you...

With a long drive back to Halifax ahead of us today, our first stop is sticky buns at Kelly's Bakery again! After, we hop in the car and settle in for the long drive back to Halifax. Originally our plan was to drive south to Saint John. Then take the ferry across to Digby before driving the rest of the way to Halifax. However, with the cost of the ferry being quite high, we decide to drive around...

Greenwich With a bit better weather today, we set off to explore a bit more of PEI. Our first stop is Greenwich, which is about an hours drive from Charlottetown.

This makes for a fairly unique...

Today we bid farewell to Cape Breton and head to Prince Edward Island. PEI is a small island province in Canada but it is also the birthplace of our Confederation. So aside from being a very picturesque island, its also rich in history. We check out of our AirBnB early in the morning for the three hour drive to the ferry terminal. Because we didn't want to pay for a reservation on the ferry, we...
