Road Tripping

Jamie, Brandon and I have been in New Brunswick for 11 days now. It's been fun and it's been busy! Apart from visiting with family, we've also hit the road to visit friends in Fredericton and Charlottetown (both friends have beautiful new baby girls!) It's been great to catch up and spend time with those we just don't get to see very often. As I get older, I start to appreciate these visits more and more.

But it's not all about visiting friends and family. Brandon's been doing some really fun stuff too. Yesterday was his first day at the beach! He loved it :) It was a perfect day and not too busy. The water was warm and Brandon put his feet in the sand for the first time (he even sampled some of it and found it not to his liking). He spent a good 20 minutes in the water before we pulled him out to dry off and relax with his bottle. It was a great day that I will always remember:)

Another memorable event was Brandon's first Acadian Day - August 15th. In the morning Vincent, Sylvie, Nicholas, Jamie, Brandon and I all piled into the van and headed to Pays de la Sagouine for a wonderful buffet brunch. The Acadians were there in full force and it was lots of fun. Brandon proudly wore his hat and "Vive l'Acadie" t-shirt to celebrate his heritage. Later that day we returned to Memramcook to enjoy an Acadian festival and we even participated in the Tintamare - a walk to celebrate the Acadian culture. It was a first for the three of us and a special day for all.

We still have four more days of vacation so who knows what other fun we'll get to but whatever it is, I'll post about it :)
