It all began by crossing the border into New Brunswick from Nova Scotia. We played the role of tourists who haven't been out of the province much :)

We spent two nights at my grandparents place on the Long Reach. This scene awaited out their patio door the morning we left.

The longest covered bridge in the world is in Hartland, NB. We stopped like many others to take the requisite photos.

And while Dad got ice, I took some perspective shots of the bridge.

It was a nice day in Ottawa. We called Chris and arranged to meet him at his place after he got off work.

Chris was a gracious host who put us up for a night on his floor. Ottawa is the home of friends who let friends sleep on their floor. :)

Once we left Ottawa we headed toward Wasaga Beach on Route 7. This General Store en-route was amazingly well stocked for being in the middle of nowhere.

Aggressive beach gulls were abound in the Wasaga Beach area.

Although we didn't break out the tent like other families, we did mark our territory with a folding chair.
