Prince Edward Island Shorts – One Last Look

March 6, 2023 by Patti 8 Comments

Prince Edward Island. I just finished uploading a series of Prince Edward Island short videos, #shorts, to our Youtube Channel. Doing so led me to think about the island and the incredible landscapes and stories that presented themselves while we explored. For us, it was probably a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, although we’d certainly be open to the idea of a return visit. But, it’s a really (really) long drive, albeit adventurous.

Reminiscing through our photos led me to the idea of taking one last look at some of the spectacular landscapes we experienced while on PEI. Many of them did not make it to our earlier stories written just after returning from our travels.

Picture Perfect Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

January 20, 2023 by Patti 8 Comments
Lunenburg

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It truly is picture perfect. So much so that Old Town Lunenburg is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. How many charming seaside fishing villages can make that claim? It was just five months ago, after spending 10 days on Prince Edward Island, Canada, that we made our way to Lunenburg. Little did we know we’d be mesmerized.

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas

December 18, 2022 by Patti 4 Comments
Brandywine Valley

I’ve been dreaming of a White Christmas for 8 1/2 years, ever since we moved east. One would think living on the east coast of the US, it would be a given to see a blanket of white on Christmas morning, but alas… it has yet to happen. We’ve come close, maybe a few days before or after, but never on the actual holiday. Maybe this year?

The Canadian Potato Museum & North Cape

November 5, 2022 by Patti 6 Comments

A potato museum? We didn’t know there was such a place, but then sometimes the best part of traveling is finding the unexpected. That’s just what happened while we were exploring Prince Edward Island. We discovered the Canadian Potato Museum. Who knew? Can you guess what’s on the lunch menu?

The Inspiration Behind Anne of Green Gables

September 24, 2022 by Patti 4 Comments

Anne of Green Gables. The iconic novel is deeply rooted in the natural wonders of Prince Edward Island. I remember hiking the Homestead Trail in Cavendish National Park and thinking it was as if we were walking through the pages of Anne of Green Gables. It was picture postcard perfect.

Kensington, Fried Chicken & Cinnamon Rolls

August 31, 2022 by Patti 5 Comments

Kensington, PEI. It’s a small blink of a town with a 4-way intersection and a population of maybe 2,000. The neighborhood streets are lined with cozy homes and almost every home has an immaculate garden bursting with glorious colors. It’s the same all over PEI. Some, are extraordinary and we were in awe of the time spent in maintaining such a yard. Kensington is just a few miles from Summerside where we based ourselves for ten days while exploring the island.

August 21, 2022 by Patti 11 Comments

The floating boardwalk of Greenwich National Park can be found on Prince Edward Island. It was the first adventure we set our sights on after arriving on PEI. We settled in to our accommodations for the next ten days and got busy mapping our path of adventure.

Perseus. Every now and then in our travels we come across a person, place or thing – or a story in this case – that takes hold of us and we feel compelled to share.

The Canadian Border & New Destinations

July 18, 2022 by Patti 9 Comments

It’s been a few years, four to be exact, since we found ourselves crossing the Canadian Border. Our return is a bit overdue. But, as we all know, life and pandemics get in the way of making plans. Do you still make plans? I’ve pretty much given up on the concept of long-range plans. Too many changes, too often, in this new normal.
