Charlottetown

            Forecast for today called for not so good weather so we decided to go into Charlottetown.  Our campground is only 40 minutes from Charlottetown.  A cute looking downtown core but not much else there.  Only 40, 000 people live there (only 140, 000 on the whole island) so not much for a capital city.  The one cool thing that we did do was visit TheProvince House.  This is where the famous Charlottetown Conference took place in 1864 to begin talks about confederation.  The building is really cool and there is a neat video showing a re-enactment of the time.

            Shortly after that it started to rain (what a surprise) and it continued to rain right up until dinner.  We didn’t feel like cooking in this so we took the kids into town for some seafood.  Well, Mary Pat and I had lobster burgers and the kids had hot dogs.  Emily at least tried the lobster, but not till we promised her a dollar.  No takers on the other 2. 

            Coming back to camp it continued to rain so we are having movie night tonight in the trailer.  Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer weather so we promised the kids they could do whatever they wanted tomorrow, no following mom and dad around.
