A week in the life of Anne of Green Gables

My mom as we are getting ready to land in Halifax
 This past July my mom and I took an amazing trip to Canada!  It's been my dream to visit Prince Edward Island and thankful I had my mom to enjoy it with me. 
Our 1st Lighthouse in Peggy's Cove.

The view from the lighthouse.

 Me and my mom waiting on the ferry as we cross to Prince Edwards Island.  We are so excited we can hardly wait.

 Cows Creamery was a great place and smelled so great.  We might have stopped there every day that we were on PEI.
 You can't live the life of Anne without drinking some Raspberry Cordial.  Yummy.

Yummy ice cream from the best creamery in Canada!
 Don't call either of us "Carrots" or we will break our slate on your head.

 In front of the house that inspired L.M. Montgomery's fabulous Anne of Green Gables series.  It was hard to remember that it's fiction when you are there.


 On the coast of PEI.  It was so gorgeous and the weather was amazing.
 I not only ate lobster for the 1st time, I kind of turned into one...for a moment.
 On the beaches near the Anne of Green Gables museum.  These were the red beaches of from Anne of Avonlea.

 A tiny lighthouse we stumbled upon and fell in love with.
 The Halifax temple. It was Monday, so it was closed, but the grounds keeper was there and let us on the grounds. 

 The last thing we did before we left Canada was to go whale watching.  It was AMAZING!  We saw 10 whales.  8 fin whales and 2 humpback.  There were 2 babies, 1 fin and one humbback.  They surrounded our boat and gave us an amazing show.  My pictures don't do it justice.
