We just returned from a great trip to the Island (PEI). We had some debate about going with Claire still being so young. So we did some research and talked to our family doc who said, "go right ahead". We made a lot of stops a long the way.... most notably were the stops with family. We stayed with my parents in Ottawa for a night. They had not seen Claire since she was born. Needless to say it was a great visit for us all. My sister, Sherry and her son Jonathan were there as well and had a chance to meet Claire.
Next day we made it all the way to Riviere Du Loup. I always love and hate that drive... hate because of Montreal traffic (ugh), love because you get some great scenery from Quebec on up. We found a nice Quality Inn with a pool and good breakfast.
Next day we made it to Fredericton and had a great visit with Ted and Margie (Geoff's Aunt and Uncle). We stayed up late and looked at lots of old family pics and talked all sorts of things "Boothroyd". I even saw a pic of my Great Great Grandfather who was a Mayor somewhere in England, turns out he was a big man too! Thanks far a great visit!

Next day we made it to the island and got settled in at our little cottage we had rented on the north shore. During our visit to the island we spent great time with Gordon, Melody and Brittany. We also spent an evening with my Aunt Jean and paid a visit to my mom's vacant land to examine for ideas of putting a trailer there for future use.
Regrettably, our time on the island was short due to the drive time. We had arrived on the Monday afternoon and had to leave on the Friday morning.
We stopped in Riviere du Loup on the way home and again with my parents in Manotick.
