Day 1.
we packed up all our earthly belongings into 6 suitcases, and 2 rubbermaids (along with 2 carry-ons!), and headed to the airport for the first of two flights... As you can probably tell from the pic, Adrienne, isn't the best with flying, where as i tend to love it! (and yes, i wear my sunglasses almost constantly!)
After a long day of travelling we arrived on the Island. Our "home" for next 9 months!
Day 2.
Day 2 was our busiest day yet! we picked up our rental car (a vibe! so cute!), then drove pretty much all over the island... first we went and had lunch at "Fisherman's Wharf", then continued onto an "Anne of Green Gables" museum, which was actually L.M. Montgomery's childhood home. Then to a Wax musuem for Nicole (isn't she adorable in that pic!), finally along to Cavendish Beach, which was absolutly gorgeous! When we got back to Charlottetown, we found a mall (YAY!) and a superstore, so we bought some groceries. speaking of groceries, holy man! buying food sucks lol... but then again i hate spending money lol...
onto DAY 3!
We got up early and moved some stuff into our res... it's pretty small, but then again we have our own bathroom and kitchen, and we each have our own tv!
so then we drove up to North Rustico and went deep. sea. fishing!
It was soo much fun (alittle cold though.. maybe a sweater next time would be better!), and we all caught a couple fish!
As we were driving back "home" we passed kind of like, a farmer's market thingy and bought fresh local potatoes and corn!
So we had fish and potatoes for supper!
Day 4!
Day 4 was a pretty quiet day. We got up late and went to church. Everyone there was super friendly and very welcoming! so that was reassuring! After church we drove out to see the confederation bridge (my camera was pretty much dead, so no pictures!), and went across to New Brunswick! We also calculated that it would take us 3 hours to go visit Kristen and Tyler, so we passed on that idea! Then we came back, found a sobey's and stocked up our kitchen (thanks to Aunty linda!)
Supper last night was the best fish and chips i've ever had! So SO So good! it was a little seafood restaurant, kind of how Pizza Express is to Brandon.. you know?
So yea, that brings us to today, where we are going to fully move into res... and meet other kids.. so that should be fun...
wish us luck!
