The Honeymoon and Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Day today!

Daughter L and her husband recently returned from their 2 1/2 week honeymoon in Canada's Atlantic provinces.  The last few days had to be re planned due to the imminent arrival of post tropical storm Fiona.  They had flown into Prince Edward Island (PEI) on September 9th and rented a car.  They enjoyed the first few weeks according to plan then wisely decided to drive back home to Toronto on the Thursday September 22nd.  Fiona arrived the evening of Friday September 23rd.  Sadly, the area has been devastated by the storm and we wish them a speedy recovery. 

I am sharing some photos from their trip: 

The Cabot Trail
L and her husband drove the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia and stayed at a cottage there.
 
Peggy's Cove

Tom's Lobster Shack, Peggy's Cove

Delicious Lobster Rolls
L says the naked lobster roll at the back of this photo was the best ever.  It was a whole lobster with mostly just its natural flavour.  This was at Tom's Lobster shack at Peggy's Cove.

Yoyo Cookies Nova Scotia

L brought home a couple bags of these Yoyo Cookies from Nova Scotia. One bag is red velvet, the other is chocolate.  She brought a bag of salted caramel ones for her mother-in-law.

Shortbread and Buttercream

PEI hand pies
L brought home a couple of these delicious PEI hand pies from the Handpie Company.  These were their bacon cheeseburger flavour.

It looks like they had a great trip. As I don't like that far from Canada (about 4-5 hours to the Quebec border), I really need to visit more often. Covid put a big damper on going north. Happy new week!

We jut got home from 35 days in Newfoundland and Labrador and NS and NB.
We were fortunate to be in St. John's when Fiona hit and it was a windy sunny day.

We've been to PEI and Nova Scotia and Darn! I wish we'd tried those delicious looking treats. Hmmm... We shall have to go back someday.

Aside from the storm, it looks like they had a lovely honeymoon. Congratulations to both of them--now back to reality. :)

I think I would love to take that trip. Sorry it was cut short for them, but it will still be memorable. PEI has always been on my bucket list, but I'm losing hope of ever getting there.
