In mid-September 2019, we wrapped up our two-and-a-half month sojourn in the Maritimes with a few days in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. With a beautiful botanical garden, a sweet downtown, and an intriguing island mansion only accessible at low tide, we had plenty to keep us occupied for a few days.

The Bay of Fundy, located in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, boasts the highest tides in the world. Touted as one of the seven wonders of North America, it’s in league with the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, Yosemite, the Everglades, and Denali. In mid-September of 2019, we headed to Fundy National Park, the […]
It’s time to return to the Maritimes! As I mentioned in our last post, we’re finding our way back to ‘normal.’ Part of that means catching up on our travel-related posts before we start roaming again.

I’ve been wanting to write about those adventures for almost a year. Instead, my attention has been consumed by surviving the […]
I thought that I was going to enjoy writing about our summer and fall adventures and catch up on our blog while spending the winter in Florida dealing with my parents’ home and possessions. But in the past six weeks, I’ve only managed one post. My focus has been on clawing my way through decades […]
Every year, just for fun, I choose a few critters that I would like to see in our travels. In 2019, on my wishlist were Green Kingfishers (success in South Texas!), Atlantic Puffins, and moose. Our best bet for seeing Atlantic Puffins—and getting close enough to photograph them—was to head to the Maritimes. Of course, […]
