Hopewell Rocks, NB

Here are a few pics of us at the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. They are at low tide (obviously). There was almost 500 ft. of beach at low tide and a few hours later there was 41 ft. of water covering it. It is the highest tide in the world. As you can see from the pics there was also lots of mud! They had a wash station with 4 hoses for everyone to clean themselves up with at the top of the stairs (thankfully). The children had lots of fun getting muddy, but they didn't enjoy the cold hose down afterwards!

The next morning we left Hopewell Cape, NB and headed north to Edmunston, NB where we found a lovely campground along a river. The children fed the ducks, we had dinner and went to bed. In the morning, they fed the ducks again and we headed out on the road again. We drove right through Quebec, only stopping for gas and washroom breaks. We were hoping to stop at Cardinal, ON along the St. Lawrence river, but I gave Dave the wrong campground number to call and he reserved us a KOA campsite in Kingston, ON. Kingston is about an hour and a half farther from Cardinal. It was too late for us to call and fix the problem, so we just kept on driving. We pulled into Kingston KOA camp around 10:30pm.

The next morning, which is today, we drove from Kingston to Essex, where we surprised my Grandma with a return visit. We got here (Essex) around 7:30pm. We've had dinner and Skyped my parents and now we are going to bed. Tomorrow is Becca's birthday, so we can celebrate with grandma.

  1. Wow! You'll have to tell me how you found out about all these cool places you've been to before we plan our cross country adventure! I would have mixed feelings about the mud I think, with everyone loading back into the RV and all. Looks like great weather there too.
