PEI - Prince Edward Island -

Cavendish Beach, PEI

Lily as Anne of Green Gables



Where L.M. Montgomery grew up





You can't go to PEI and not have a lobster feast!



the Maritimes "Poutine"


Lots of red soil, green grass, and country-side

This summer Ben and I spent a week up at the Lake in British Columbia, Canada with my family. Although we didn't have perfect lake weather the entire time, we still enjoyed the relaxing holiday. They had some huge fires on the valley directly across the lake from their place this summer, and a water bomber crashed into the lake! No one was hurt, just lot of excitement around there this year.

Ben then flew to Denver and had a short but sweet visit with his family before getting back to work in North Carolina. I stayed another week and was able to see family and friends (including meeting the adorable Hudson Gage!) and then going to Prince Edward Island with my family. This is where my Grandma Shirley was born and raised. My mom spent a lot of time in the Maritimes as a little girl too.

My girlfriend - Lily - flew up from NC and met us there for a fun filled week (after Hurricane Bill passed through of course!) . One of our highlights (for the girls) was seeing the "Anne and Gilbert" play at a theater in Summerside, PEI. Carson was playing golf in the Canada Games. We even saw a few more relatives out there....such a pretty island!!! I can't wait to go back! Us girls are inspired to read more L.M. Montgomery books, and catch up on the Anne of Green Gables series once again :)

I loved the Anne of Green Gables series and read them multiple times! PEI looks just as beautiful as I imagined it.
