Flashback: 6 Years Ago

[pictured above: Lover's Lane]

When: August 28- September 1, 2000

Where: Prince Edward Island, Canada

Who: Friends C, R, D, and K (three of which are now married!)

What: One of the most fantastic trips EVER!

Why: If I need to explain it, you just don't get it.

I honestly don't think I could put into words how amazing this trip was! We visited some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. We stopped at the "Anne" sites, we went to at least 9 lighthouses, we drank Raspberry Cordial, we stayed in a lighthouse, we watched the sunset from North Cape (pictured below), we went to the Anne musical, we ate at Dalvay-By-The-Sea, we took a carriage ride by the Lake of the Shining Waters, and stopped to take pictures at least a hundred times.

Here's an excerpt from my journal from 6 years ago: "The countryside is breathtaking-- just when you think you've seen the prettiest spot on the Island, you come around another bend or to the top of another hill."



Other Things I'll Never Forget From This Trip:

• C crying when we crossed the bridge because she was so excited and happy
• R and all the moose jokes (we never did see a moose!)
• Getting my first speeding ticket (with four friends in the car... nice!)
• Asking the guy at the ticket booth if he was Gilbert (and completely embarassing C)
• Almost running out of gas in the middle of no where
• The red cliffs
• The feeling of never wanting to leave a place

PS: R and C, how happy are you that I didn't post that picture of the two of you in the Haunted Woods? Monetary demonstrations of extreme gratefulness are accepted. ;-)
