Back Road Cinnamon Rolls
There’s a big advantage to getting off the main highway and taking the back roads. We did this today, forgoing small numbered highways like 4, 2 and 3 for 310, 340 and 321.
We weren’t 10 minutes from the house when we found the Little Pond Community Centre, with two sweet ladies baking inside. [...]
Chilling out in PEI
The house we’re staying in is nice and big, which is helpful when you’re trying to travel as a party of 12. We’ve grooved travelling as the four of us but add another eight people who are related but don’t have a ton of stuff in common is challenging. But it’s a good challenge!

Campground Sunset
I kid you not – this is the sunset from our campsite at Cabot Provincial Park in PEI. Our site is on the grass overlooking Malbeque Harbour.
They don’t have campfire fireplaces in PEI parks. It’s just a hole in the grass with the red sand underneath. So cooking is a new and interesting [...]
Prince Edward Island’s biggest tree…
…is in Victoria PEI. It has a plaque and everything.
Now you know…

Prince Edward Island: Red Sand, Green Shores
We pulled into the Day Use area just outside Victoria, PEI to cool off and enjoy all those things we love about this province – the red beaches, warm water, blue skies and the verdant green grass and farms.
It may be 25C and muggy in town, but out here there’s a cool breeze [...]
Leaving Nova Scotia
We were planning to camp right by the ferry station on the NS side, but it’s full. So we caught the 8pm ferry to PEI.
I thought we’d have lots of killer light for pics, but the clouds took care of that early. I got one of the sunset and a lighthouse just as [...]
Whycocomah? Because it is there!
Our last night on Cape Breton was at the lovely Whycocomah Provincial Park. Huge grassy sites with great views of the village across the water.
One unique "feature", however is the placement of the washrooms. They’re quite a way from our site, and way down the hill too. The quad and glute workout is [...]
Skyline Trail: Foggy then spectacular
We revisited the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands Park, although we weren’t sure what to expect. It was one of the highlights of our 2005 trip but this morning was very foggy.
The trail started like a trip through the Forbidden Forest, and by the time we made it to the headlands we [...]
Cape Breton Highlands
The early morning fog doesn’t detract from the views; I think it enhances them.
This is one of Canada’s most beautiful places.

Foggy Day at the Beach
When you’re retracing your steps from five years ago, you just have to go for it, no matter what the weather. Today that meant a trip to Marguerite Beach on Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore. It’s a beautiful white sand beach that just screams out for playing in the surf.
We did just that – [...]
