HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCEL!!!!
Rain overnight again. Foggy this morning, but then rain for the rest of the day. We wanted to catch the 2:45 ferry to PEI today, so having rain wasn't too bad. It stopped us from any sightseeing detours on route.
" Joe's scarecrow village". Hundreds of scarecrows. Quite cute, but a lot of pictures were a little blurry from the rain.
Great birthday shot Marcel!Around 11:30, we stopped for coffee and cherry cheese cake (birthday cake) which I bought frozen that morning. It was quite cool in the motor home that morning and the cake did not defrost yet. But, we crunched it down anyway. The guys were discussing the motor home. and...Ah yes....the drive shaft needs repairs also.
They decided to buy what they needed to fix the u-joint, but hoped it won't get bad enough to repair. ("If it ain't broke (too bad) don't fix it")
We arrived at the ferry at 2:20, boarded right away, and it left at 2:30. The brochure we had said 2:45, so we just made it. The trip was only 1 1/4 hrs. The ferry trip costs $112. but they charge to get off PEI. So taking the bridge back was the cheaper way to go. Only $42.00 to get off. At the time we did not know this yet.
Dock in PEI.
The campsite we picked out in Charlottetown was full, and we were directed to the nearest campground in the area. In Alexandra, a small town 10 k out of Charlottetown. Immy and Jennie wanted to go out for seafood, so Peter drove them. A seafood festival in the town made it very busy. Peter did not want to participate, so dropped off the ladies, found a parking spot and read. Marcel and I stayed behind. I did some blogging. We're at the strangest campsite ever but the best blogging speed. Go figure. I blogged till 12:30 at night.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA/DAD!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having an awesome time away on your birthday.
Mom, you actually stayed up past midnight??? Are you feeling ok? Hope you are not up too early tomorrow or you may have to nap and miss some sight seeing.

Dear Marcel and Alida,
ReplyDeleteStill at this late hour of this date Ann and I wish you, Marcel, a happy 62nd Birthday, and receive our best wishes, which are normally part and parcel of your birthday celebrations, and we wish you well in all respects, especially in your marriage relationship, and also as grandparents of what seems like an ever increasing crowd of grandchildren.
May God bless you as you continue your tour of Eastern Canada (the Maritimes) and as you reach home eventually. May the Lord bless you with health and well being in the New Year (your 63rd) and strength for your work to the extent that you are still desiring to keep occupied for your clients.
Receive our best wishes and congratulations,
your Ann and Frank
