Wow, what a feeling! Usually the long weekend is spent doing last minute prep work in our classrooms and getting everything organized for our upcoming year and for getting the boys ready for school. For the first time in 20 years, we went on holiday for the long weekend!!! Why? Because we are on a half year leave! Where you may ask? In our very own backyard! We discovered the North Cape Coastal Drive in glorious PEI. We spent the long weekend exploring meandering back roads that ended at quaint and busy fishing wharves, hiking trails, poking about backyard Art studios, discovering quiet beaches loitered by seals and inukshuks, witnessed Irish Moss harvesting and ate from cozy and local cafés...some of the greatest seafood.....and yes, seaweed pie.This weekend reminded me that we don't have to go far to discover treasures and find adventure. Sometimes they are in our very own backyards. Smiles wide from these traveling Turners, big and small. It was a great family weekend.
