Grand Manan 2011

Good Day!  I'm trying to adopt the attitude that any pictures are better than no pictures.  I keep waiting for the ideal moment to sit down and do some blog posts but it's about time that I learn that with two kids there is no such thing as an ideal moment.  Hopefully this approach will lead to more postings.  

We spent this past weekend on Grand Manan with the Bray side of the family.  We stayed in the same lovely heritage home that we were in last year.  There's a cross stitch on the wall that is almost 200 years old done by a 9 year old girl!  The weather was wonderful and a good time was had by all.  Here are some pictures: 

 

Poor Luka had some cream from a Boston Cream pie on his nose and he wasn't too happy about it:

 Here I am wiping it off.   We were waiting to board the ferry.

 Visiting Swallowtail lighthouse:

 The path to the lighthouse goes over the little bridge and down a path.  It's a nice little walk although it was chilly!

 Some island wind!  Check out these funny shots of our hair blowing in the wind.  The one of me really cracks me up. 

 All in all the weekend was like stepping back in time.  It's nice to get a break from civilization for a bit.  Looking forward to our next visit.
