We love books and I like to try to have family story time in the evenings as often as possible. Several months ago we began reading Anne of Green Gables which is based on the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. The real name of the town is Cavendish and if you visit that town you will have the pleasure of seeing many attractions all based on the book.
Naturally we went to visit the Green Gables house.
If you are familiar with the story you might recognize the names of these walking trails around the house: Haunted Wood and Lover’s Lane.
Haunted Wood
They even had characters from the book dressed up in costume walking around playing their parts.
Anne, Gilbert Blythe and Diana
We also went to visit the cute little Avonlea Village.
Cow’s Creamery has been voted the best ice cream in Canada. Of course we had to try it out to make sure, and we all agreed it’s quite good, maybe it really is the best in Canada.
While in PEI we stayed at a beautiful VRBO vacation rental. It was right on the water and had an amazing deck!
We all loved hanging out on this deck and enjoying the view. Jake enjoyed some Raspberry Cordial (another treat based on Anne of Green Gables).
That wraps up my posts about our visit to Canada.
Soon I hope to post an update on the RV situation. We’re still dealing with that 3 months later. Sigh!
