Prince Edward Island - Arrival

August 16th - Friday - Beautiful day 78 degrees

Today was moving day and this is a picture of us boarding the ferry with the motor home.  We had enough time waiting in line to have our lunch in the motor home.  The ferry ride was 75 minutes.  On the ferry we chose to read our book, however, you could eat a meal, have a snack, or gamble in the casino.  We thought we would sit on the upper deck, but there was a lot of fumes coming from the motor and decided that wouldn't be the best place to sit.

Once we were off the ferry, we drove to our camp site in the town of Cavendish.  It was across the Island and the drive was wonderful.  I was amazed at the huge field of wheat, clover, barley, buckwheat, hay, and fresh produce.  I snapped some pictures from the window of the RV and hopefully tomorrow we will closer views of what the Island has to offer.

This is a lovely campsite, tonight there was a hayride for the kids and many, many took advantage of that activity.  They have a huge jumping pillow for the kids to play on and we are next to Anne of Greene Gables.

Preston took all of our laundry to the laundry house to do while I got things settled and Lou put together our new camping grill and we grilled pork steaks.  I fixed a nice pasta salad to have for dinner tomorrow night and fixed a  home cooked dinner for tonight.  We have been eating out and enjoying the seafood, but thought it would be nice to have something here tonight and get caught up on neglected house hold duties.

Lou found that we couldn't get the satellite to work here and we had home to watch Cedar Cove tonight.

I had many more pictures to post, but the internet here is terrible and it has taken me over four hours to do this little bit.
