A Perfect Day

Marriage is all about compromise - sometimes you give, sometime you take. Sometimes a husband agrees that he will spend the morning touring Anne of Green Gables sites. . . BUT. . . only IF we spend the afternoon at the beach!
It turned out to be the perfect day!
Since I was a young girl I have loved Anne of Green Gables, and dreamed of going to PEI someday. My cousin and sister and I watched the movies over and over again. I read the books, dreamed of marrying someone just like Gilbert!! Well, here it is, in reality.

Walking up to Green Gables through the "haunted wood", which was a beautiful walk.



Here is Anne's room, or the replica from the book. Lucy Maud Montgomery - the author said that often people forgot that Anne was really a fictional character.



Look at the patience on this man's face. He was a really good sport and even found some of it interesting!




Here I am walking up one of many tree lined lanes to the place in Cavendish, where Lucy Maud lived with her Grandparents, because her mom died of Tuberculosis when she was 2.




We walked down "lover's Lane" and through the haunted woods. They were both very peaceful nice walks.





Now it is HiS turn! This is on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, PEI National park. It was the most gorgeous beach I've been to - beautiful red cliffs and powdery red - white sand. It was so relaxing. We loved it. Jeff loves to explore tides and nooks and crannies of beaches so he was in heaven.



The light was so pretty as the sun was setting.



I guess there is even a ship wreck off this shore - the Marco Polo. We found some beach glass in a little inlet and wondered if it was possibly from the ship wreck.




One of Jeff's many wave pictures. He was quite fascinated by them this time.


The beach explorer



You have to find crabs at the beach!




Ahhh! It doesn't get any better than this!
