It was another early morning, but not as early as we had been getting up (5:45am) which meant we got a good start on the road.

  Our original plan was to drive as far as St John’s, NB and then camp for the night.  Dave had other ideas though once we got on the road.  We took Route 1A up to the Maine/ New Brunswick border and enjoyed some of the sites along the way.

From the border we then headed to the main highway since Dave wanted to get to his parents that night instead of the following day.  On the way we did take one detour to St Andrews By the Sea to enjoy our picnic lunch by the water and wander the main street.  This is a really cute town and they have a great art shop where we picked up some pottery to take to my mother-in-law.

Then it was back to the main highway to reach our destination. This was our daughters first time meeting Dave’s parents and we arrived just after dinner.
