Beautiful sunrise around 5:30 am as we neared the New Brunswick border. Kids slept until around 6 am - pretty good. Stopped at McD's for breakfast. They have McLobster sandwiches here! Too bad it's breakfast time - we'll have to watch for them later in the trip.
Drove to Fundy National Park (could use our annual pass from our trip last summer!) and had a picnic lunch, then walked on the "beach" at low tide. This is the highest rising tide in the world. In the couple of hours that we were there, it rose about halfway up the beach. There are even large fishing boats that are dry at low tide and then rise up with the water at high tide. Weird.
We bought some souvenier t-shirts in Alma (tourist town right outside the park) then drove toward Prince Edward Island. It was kind of slow-going and we were tired!
Stopped at a Visitors' Center just before the bridge to PEI, then crossed the bridge. Drove into Charlottetown through green, rolling farmland. Checked into Econolodge. M took a quick nap while the kids swan in the outdoor pool. Then we cleaned up and drove into town for supper. We walked around for awhile looking for a good restaurant, then M asked a local firefighter and he recommended Hunter's Ale House. M, J and I enjoyed the fish and chips and tons of fries. B had chicken tenders. Then we drove back to the hotel to relax and watch TV and go to bed.
