PEI and the Trip Home

We decided to swing by PEI on the way home because it was so close. The confederation bridge is also a Canadian landmark and an engineering marvel that was featured on the Discovery Channel. The original plan was to go have dinner in Charlottetown, but the wind was blowing hard and there were snow drifts on the road. It was a nice sunny day but still brutally cold.

We crossed the bridge and pulled into a little sleepy town called Summerside and had some seafood for lunch. Funny enough, the restaurant was out of lobster at the time.

Here's a picture of the bridge:


Really cool driving across it.

We stayed the night in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Not much of town...I was surprised by how small it was. New Brunswick doesn't have much in it anyways. Small logging communities and long stretches of road with nothing around. Scenic though.

We hit a bad snow storm around Quebec City and were stuck in it for the rest of the ride home. Driving through Montreal was brutal! We just took our time the rest of the way and made it home safely.
