Summer Vacation

Summer seems to be winding down here on the east coast of Canada. Don't get me wrong, the temps are nice in the mid-20's (75F), it's sunny and not too cold at night. But you can feel the cool in the air in the morning and you know we're sliding into Fall.

I took about a week and a half break this summer. We did some camping in PEI, which is a lovely small province. If you like gentle rolling hills, sandy beaches and great golfing this is a wonderful place to take a vacation. Marco Polo Land has been a favourite place to camp for may years and it's still one of the best. We used to go here when we were kids with our family and always enjoyed it so much. I still continue to return every summer.

My brother Steve and his daughter Kristin were up for a brief visit. We managed to get in a round of golf at Rockwood Park here in Saint John. If you like woods and water, which I don't, it's a great course. With 2200 acres it's the largest park inside city limits in Canada. It has alot to offer for families and is really worth a visit. We enjoyed our golf match even though it was a scorcher by Saint John standards at 32C. Neither of us played very well but we still had fun.

We followed this up with a tasty lunch, a swim at Meenan's Cove in Quispamsis and a sausage BBQ. An enjoyable day for sure. It's too bad we only get to do this occasionally. Ah those summer days, almost gone.

And how did you spend your summer?
