    The church and cemetery was really nice and quaint, we're always looking for those when traveling. That was a pretty perfect boondocking spot with beach access.........hard to beat that!! Happy Trails 🦮🦮

    Beautiful camping spot! I would love looking at the water! Poor Maggie looks pitiful sitting in the back by herself! I'm surprised she will sit back there. I understand Mama can't ride with her sitting in her lap 24/7 for comfort and safety reasons! Glass bottle house was interesting! Loved the door with tiny bottles! Safe travels!

      I hate making Maggie sit in the back by herself. I still let her sit on my lap sometimes. But she is safer in her set.

    Hey folks good to see you 're enjoying our beautiful East Coast , we made that trip last year and loved it !! When you get to Newfoundland - Labrador there is a spot just northeast of Bonavista the John Cabot Municipal Park that l think you will love . It's in the area of the Cape Bonavista lighthouse and not far from the Dungeon Provincial Park also .Going down from there you don't want to miss viewing the Puffin Colony either . L'Anse dux Meadows , Petty Harbour , and Cape Spear are also must sees !!

All the rain brings on the mosquitoes, too in the rural areas. Hopefully, the weather will improve on your trip to our pretty part of the world. Safe travels!

    I'm am laughing so hard! Owen said like hot pockets. I loved those things when I was a kid, So bad for you. Those pies looked far superior and tastier than hot pockets, especially the chicken pot pie one. My favoirite dish that I continually seek out. Probably should have waited till the end of the video, but chicken pot pie food distracts me. LOL. PS. We took a two-day escape to Hillsborough River SP and I made your cast iron skillet ribeye steaks. We both did a happy dance. Delicious!

    • @VANTREKKINGlifestyle

Beautiful lighthouses. I love lighthouses. Nice you stayed out for the night with it raining. It’s good book or movie watching day! Lol! Sleepy weather to me too! It makes me sleepy.

    Hello you 2
    PEI is such a wonderful province with beautiful landscapes. Sorry that you have a lot of rain! If you like lobster its a great place to try some. Also for having been there in august you maybe see a lot of bluberry on sides of the roads. For being a fan of Ann of green gables novels there is a place you can visit about it if i remember it s in Charlottetown
    Thank you for your awsome videos!

    The Catholic church, the Notre Dame de Québec, was built in 1633 by during the time Samuel de Champlain was in North America. It burned down and was rebuilt in 1647. I believe it is the oldest church in Canada. That one might be the oldest on Prince Edward Island though.

    Hey Friends! What a wonderful place. PEI has been on our list for a long time (since we watched Anne of Green Gables on PBS years ago.) I'm so excited that y'all are going to slow down and visit with us more often while you are there. I have a friend whose aunt has a house at the very tip of Maine (she says you can see Canada from her aunt's house). Anyway, they won't go there until September because of the flies/bugs being so bad at that time of year. I'm sorry they're bothering y'all, too. Thank you so much for sharing this trip/beauty with us! So picturesque by the lighthouse! Sorry you got rained on, but the video was still beautiful! (I really appreciate that the horizon is always level on your ocean shots...yep, I'm a little OCD😆...y'all are amazing. Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏

      PEI has been a special place, it is so beautiful here. The reason we decided to show more of a daily video is that is what we want to be able to look back and remember all the little things not just the highlights. There’s been a lot of rain but not all the time but it does make the bugs worse, but if they are really bad we just go somewhere else. I hope you are having a wonderful summer. Much love!

    The bottle house was one of the biggest surprises for us when we went up there. Wasn't expecting just how much work went into it and how everything came together. Our visit there was cut short because of Hurricane Dorian - Had to evacuate the campground (Cavendish NP) with about 2 hours notice to get off the island (Sept. 7, 2019). Enjoy the rest of your trip.
