First Stop: Quebec City Aquarium:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST NIGHT: Motel Leo in Grand Falls, New Brunswick - and it was a Motel! But fairly decent compared to most motels I have been to.
We ate breakfast near the beautiful Grand Falls...
Alas, it was New Brunswick Day so a lot of things were closed. Our stop off for the day was the Covered Bridge Potato Chip Factory and the Hartland Covered Bridge, which is the longest covered bridge in the world (not to be confused with the first pictures of the shortest covered bridge). There was a Fair going on in the longest bridge and Asher loved the car show on the other side.
Before we went to PEI, we stopped in Moncton. No pictures, but we did the Magnetic Hill (look it up) and Shevi drove. Then we stopped at the amusement center across the way and did some go carting.

Prince Edward Island!
A really full day. First stop was the beach at Cavendish. Cavendish is a little town totally dedicated to tourist amusements. However, it also has one of several Anne of Avonlea sites, the one that has Green Gables. After that we went to a Haunted House. It was soo cheesey - but so much fun how scared Asher got. We then went to an artist stop, where an artist built houses of bottles. A few miles up the coast, we stopped at this cute activity where they have a bunch of goats running around the beach and they love people! So fun. Shevi really loved it. And the last stop of the day... or so I planned - was the North Point Light house. (After supper, we decided to go back up to Cavendish and spend 45 minutes at an arcade.)

Wednesday Morning was really bleh weather. We drove to Charlottetown to look at the historic houses and then headed to Nova Scotia. To be honest, it was a day of intense driving. Our original plan was to stay in the Northern part of the province, and then I changed plans, canceled the hotel and rebooked us to Halifax so we could get in a really full day on Thursday. So Wed pics are only of our pre-dinner walk along the Halifax Boardwalk, of which we only did a little because we were just tired.

NOVA SCOTIA
The girls ditched us for shopping, but Asher and I went to the Halifax Citadel, which was awesome! Then we drove to Lunenberg, which was gorgeous. We then crossed the peninsula to get to Digsby for our 5:30 ferry to St. John, New Brunswick. I stayed on deck for a good 45 minutes after we headed out. Shortly after the kids retreated inside, I was lucky enough to see some dolphins or porpoises in the distance. yay!

ST JOHN to BANGOR
Driving day. We headed off to Bangor, where we needed to be by 2 pm to pick up Shabbas meals that we ordered from shuls sisterhood. Along the way we made a random stop when we say a sign for an aquarium. It was...er...quaint. A lot of beautiful driving, not many pictures. Oh and we got in Leah's promised Target run.
----------------------------------------------
For Shabbas we rented an Airbnb in Newport, Maine. We were deep in the country and had a lovely and relaxing day. Sunday morning we drove south to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We then decided that we really missed out beds, and since we had nothing scheduled for Monday except getting home, we would push it through the day. We got home at 11:30 pm. So here are some shots of Acadia National Park, which was spectacular.
