Slow Day

Passing time in the rain

Well the rain finally stopped some time during the night.  However the wind certainly didn’t.  It was so windy that the trailer was rocking (get your mind out of the gutter!).  We slept in till about 9:00 since there wasn’t anything else to do.  We packed up the trailer and moved it to our more permanent site, a very nice one too.  Wooded, protection from wind (which died down later in the day).  By the time we were done setting up and had lunch it was after 1 so we decided to head into Summerside.  Summerside is promoted here as a beachfront city with all kinds of stuff to see and do.  They hosted the royal couple (can’t remember their names) when they were here earlier in the month.  Anyways, about the town…. BORING!!  Everyone thought so.  Nothing to do here that we could see.

The girls in the ocean

Ryan making a sandcastle

               By the time we returned to camp the sun was blazing and it was quite warm out so we took the kids to the beach and let them play.  Ryan and I then went on a bike ride on the trails around the camp.  They have a gorgeous trail system here with tons of family friendly kms including rides out on boardwalks.   Tomorrow looks even nicer.

            Things are quite different here.  It moves at island time and people are very friendly.  It doesn’t offer the spectacular beauty of Fundy or Cape Breton (although MP thinks so), it is more scenic.  A ton of cyclists on the roadways here and cars given them a wide berth.  Might be fun one day.

            I should also mention that we are staying in Prince Edward Island National Park, Cavendish campground.
