Our plan today is to explore the area around Fundy National Park. Before setting off though, we make a quick stop at Kelly's Bake shop in Alma. It's a small little bakery a block from our accommodations and they are known for their sticky buns. So we pick up a few sticky buns and coffees and set off to explore the New Brunswick side of the Bay of Fundy. While planning the night before, Mama...

Moncton Morning From our hotel room, we were treated to a lovely sunrise over the water. Admittedly I did sleep through the start of it, but these photos are courtesy of the parental minions! Eventually the sun rises above the clouds and we head down to the hotel lobby for breakfast. With some food in our bellies and our suitcases in the car, we are off. We start heading down the coast towards...

This makes for a fairly unique...

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...

Aucoin Bakery Waking up rested from the past day of travel, we set out early to make the most of our day in Cape Breton Island. Our first stop is Aucoin Bakery. It's five minutes from Cheticamp and another five to the entrance to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Aucoin Bakery pops up quite a few times during my research and we make it a point to stop here for some breakfast before our...

Cape Forchu After having some breakfast at our hotel, we set out to explore Yarmouth. While checking out, the staff suggested visiting Cape Forchu. It is about a fifteen minute drive outside of Yarmouth on an outcropping of rock. Surrounding the lighthouse are some trails that take you along the coast and along some rugged rocky landscapes too. The Parental Minions and I spent some time walking...
