Some of you will remember this catchy phrase from the 80's movie "Robo Cop.". I was reminded of this phrase this week as we strolled through Wal-Mart in Moncton stocking up for our vacation. I was surprised years ago when the first disposable camera came out. Later they brought one out with a flash. I thought, "What will they think of next?". Well, apparently disposable everything. Stuff is so cheap now not just Wal-Mart but Dollarama and Canadian Tire that it might as well be disposable. We bought all the beach toys you could imagine, including beach balls and swim noodles for under 10 dollars. Beach chairs, cooler, towels, mats and beverages. It will be a real shame to toss all this stuff but in total it was less than $40. Maybe I'll find a Goodwill on Saturday and drop it off.
Other than that, we had 3 good beach days so far and 3 rainy cold days. We spent those sightseeing, Hopewell Rocks, Magnetic Hill, Green Gables House, Avonlea and of course the kids totally loved the pool and amusement park at the Crystal Palace in Moncton.
Yes I have eaten lobster everyday I've been here and while the rest of my family doesn't really like seafood my middle daughter M will eat all that stuff. She eats all my lobster and mussels and yyesterday had raw oysters for the first time, I had to order more...she's 9!
Cavendish beach in PEI is gorgeous. Parlee beach in New Brunswick is equally nice.
The kids have really been having the time of their lives. I can't say my dad ever took us on a trip like this, or any other trip that lasted more than a day for that matter.
I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting but if so I'll post later.
We're off to Charlottetown tomorrow to see the birthplace of Confederation of this awesome country of ours. Should be grand.
Ok, beer finished, need another.
