#276.....16 yrs ago, we took the same kind of vacation.....flew to Boston, and rental car to Kennebunkport for the night, then on to Bar Harbour.

What I remember most was the gorgeous flowers everywhere.
On even the modest little homes, were flowerboxes of brightly colored flowers.

....the weather at night was cool to cold, and the ocean was ice cold!

That was our first big vacation where we left the kids behind with their grandparents. :)

This time we're tinkering with the idea of taking the ferry over to Nova Scotia.

....this time I don't have to feel guilty about leaving the kiddoes behind.....:)

...I have a hankering to go to Prince Edward Island--(Anne of Green Gables is my favorite!)

.......and also Halifax (where there is much history on the Titanic, and also final resting places)

.....also, one of my long ago favorite stories is Evangeline....

My husband wants to see the Bay of Funday?.....Fundy?.....(sp)

We've sent off for all kinds of brochures & maps & stuff.

This would be sometime in the Fall.....(if this darn fly doesn't upset the ointment!)

Nova Scotia is fabulous and the ferry is great fun. They have a theater and a casino/bar, places to eat, gift shop - everything and anything you could want.

If you go, be sure to take the Cabot Trail. It is outstanding and as you travel you are absolutely awed by the fact that Cabot and his people traveled this on foot and horseback!
