coral polka-dotted scarf

Before we hopped in the car for our 3 day journey, Jin and I looked at each other, and I screamed! We were both wearing the same coral polka-dotted scarf around our neck! Jin’s parents recently came back from Korea, and they always have a bag of goodies for us upon their return. One of the items were 2 coral polka-dotted scarves.

We wore them almost every day on our holiday, and we got some stares. They probably thought we were part of a tour group, who lost the rest of the pack!

The BIG APPLE

This isn’t New York City, but it should be just as famous.

If you live in Toronto, and you drive out east, there is no doubt you have seen the Big Apple sitting on the side of the freeway. It is so big, so red, and so hard to miss! I have always wondered what was there, and this trip was the perfect opportunity to finally see what this huge apple was all about!

I giggled when we walked in the store, because, they chose red for every piece of furniture they could! I am glad they left the walls white. Red walls would have been excessive. The Big Apple is a place of everything apples! Apple pie, caramel apples, apple chips……we bought a slice of apple pie, and a bag of caramel apple chips. The pie was too sweet, but the chips were juuuust right.

There is a staircase inside the gigantic apple, and it lands at the top. Oh yes, we climbed it.

pit stops and distractions

We knew our holiday would be full of relaxation, but getting there required some effort. The drive from our house to the cottage in Prince Edward Island is 1,800 km, which google maps says would take 20 hours to complete. We could have done it in 2 days, but we got distracted on the way and did it in 3. The trip involved a lot of gas top ups, washroom stops, road side picnics, and Timmy’s. What Canadian road trip would be complete without Tim Hortons timbits?
We collected a lot of bugs on our bumper and wind shield during the drive…..yuck!

We also took some spontaneous stops along the way. One of which was a visit to a really big apple! Photos of that to come in the next post.

Home from our Holiday

How have your last 2 weeks been? We are back from our road trip/cottage holiday, and I have so much to show you. But first, I have to solve a space issue on my computer, because I have been taking too many photos and my hard drive is running out of space. Digital organization is so hard, especially when it creeps up on you.

I hope you have been well! chit chat soon!
