A friend had the joy of traveling to the Maritime Provinces of Canada this year, and she shared the joy with us through daily photos and updates. That brought back so many memories of when we took that treck ourselves...
As you can tell from this photo-of-a-photo, it was a while ago. :-)
Twenty years ago, to be exact!
Our good-old mini-van put on hundreds of thousands of miles in service to us - loaded to the max both inside and out. But this was the only trip where it got to sport a lobster-trap on top! A head-turning sight - increasingly so the further it traveled from its home on Prince Edward Island.

We loved P.E.I. with its red soil and cliffs, lighthouses and fishing boats, farms and shores... and of course, "Anne of Green Gables!" We even read aloud that favorite by Lucy Maud Montgomery on the road.
The Bay of Fundy was also amazing with its extreme ocean tides. I don't remember any impatience with the relaxing day we spent in one harbor watching the tide come up and taking pictures of the changes every hour or so. (Yep. We grew up with cameras hanging around our necks and Dad's extra lenses, filters, lens caps, reflectors, and tripod in our hands.)
The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia was another favorite.
That is where we learned rug-hooking.
This turned into an "authors" trip as we dipped back into the northeastern States to explore the world of Louisa May Alcott and her contemporaries.
Couldn't ask for better traveling-buddies than parents and sisters!
