The Jump

Long day of driving yesterday. About 450 miles. Some of it along a very bumpy route 1 along the coast of Maine. (Yes David - there was some shouting)

We stopped to feed The Beast and Gail asked the woman behind the counter if there was a Dunkin Dounuts near by (makes you proud, right susan?) The lady laughed and said "Dear, you are at the end of the earth, there ain't nothin like that out here." She should have asked for a Starbucks...

So the glutton i am, I made the trip even longer by taking detour to the Hopewell Rocks. It is very cool rock formation left by the eroding sandstone along the Bay of Fundy. The highest tides in the world are in the Bay of Fundy (about 40-50feet!) Fortunately we were there at low tide so we got to walk the ocean floor around the rocks. Looked a little like Easter island heads...



Izzy was afraid of the step going down so i had to carry her...

Then on to Prince Edward Island. Crossed a very long bride (Confederation Bridge- about 7 miles long. Saw some amazing rainbows along the drive.

Then we crossed the island a bit to get to Cavendish Beach just before dark. (it is an hour ahead up here)




Park looks like a ton of fun for the kids. Jumping pillow etc. Not as scenic as the last park but we are across the street from the National Park and beach.




Beautiful and sunny today about 20 degrees C

  1. Gail you know I would have mapped our trip with nearby dunkins in mind! We have frequented the drive thru dunkin in the center of town. They should know our order soon enough!
    Still sounds like fun and the pictures are awesome! Keep it up and the we won't have to get a beast and do this! With this clan I would need the partridge family bus:-)
    pouring rain here with terrible thunder and lightning! Flying solo too!
    Enjoy the adventure!!
