Day 5 - Red Point Provincial Park, PEI

JR
This morning I woke up around 8:00 tired 😴 as usual. I had a bagel for breakfast and then we were off to PEI. We stopped for lunch 🍴 around 12:00 we sat by the beach near a bunch of little shacks then we decided to visit the beach the water 💦 was refreshing. We pulled into the campground ⛺️ around 2:00 and I saw a sign that said fire 🔥 ban ineffect which meant we couldn’t have a fire 😢. After we set up the trailer we went to the beach 🏖 for a fun filled afternoon. We had dad’s signature dish Daddy Pasta 🍝. For dinner and now we’re just relaxing 😎 at our site 
Talk tomorrow, bye 👋🏻

Welcome to the 5th day in our East Coast Adventure! So this morning when I woke up everyone was out of bed except mom and when my eyes opened and I rolled over (as I always do when I wake up) I fell off the side. Well that’s a way to start my day! I go outside and eat the usual Corn Puffs. Me and Jack have a “stick talk” really I don’t even know! Then we start packing the trailer and getting ready to hit the road for our short 3:00hr drive to P.E.I! The drive feels short - me and Jack just watch the Lorax, also that movie is hilarious!!! Once we get on P.E.I I do mostly sight seeing looking out on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Around 1:00pm we stop for some lunch next to a beach. We sit on a bench watching the ocean and eat our Nutella and Peanut Butter wraps. After we finish our wraps we go down to the beach to take some pictures and feel the water. While we are there we see a pretty dead jellyfish, it was sad but very colourful. After sight seeing at the beach we do our final minutes of driving and we arrive in Red Point Provincial Park! When we got there I saw a sign that said there was a fire ban, so yet again no fire. Ugh!!! Mom and Dad struggled to get the trailer up while me and Jack played at the park.  Soon after getting the trailer up we suited up and headed to the beach!! The water was pretty cold so me and Mom decided to take a walk down beach there were very pretty red rocks that we took pictures next to. Soon after the beach we started making dinner, Daddy Pasta yummy! Then we ate it, I was first one done surprisingly. Now we’re just sitting and enjoying the view, ahhh. Wait! Oh yeah your still here well bye, see you next time!

Today felt like our vacation really started!! We got up, packed up ... again and hit the road. The roads here are super bumpy and shake us around like milkshakes. Today we drove along the Atlantic for most of our drive. I love seeing the water. We crossed the Confederation Bridge which is wasn’t here last time I was in PEI.  We drove to the most north eastern part of PEI to Red Point Provincial Park. Our trusty GPS failed us again insisting that the route was not mapped. However, pretty sure these roads have been here a long time. We stopped in Souris for lunch and sat by the water. Then we explored the beach a bit & looked for sea glass. We didn’t find any but we see some jellyfish and a few small shells. The drive to Red Point took less than 10 min. This is by far my favourite campsite yet (in all our adventures). We are less than 25 m from the ocean with an unobstructed view of the water and the beach is beautiful.

We spent the afternoon at the beach and enjoyed relaxing in the sun. The kids and my hubby went in the water ... I got in up to my shins and decided it was a bit chilly for me. Then we came back and had dinner, then back for an evening stroll on the beach. Right now the kids are taking “artistic” photos for a photo contest they have invented. Nobody has asked about wifi since we left and they are enjoying making their own fun - I haven’t mentioned that all our campsites have had wifi and nobody has died or suffered without it. No mention of hurricanes here ... although it is supposed to rain tonight. So fingers crossed the weather continues to cooperate. Sightseeing tomorrow, night all!
