Fun in St. Andrew's

So here we are in St Andrew's by the Sea, NB. We arrived on Tuesday evening after a quick plane trip. Logan was a champ on the plane...grandma bought him a couple new toys but he was most excited by the tv, bag of Bits and Bites and an empty cup. (He does love the toys now though!)

Pamela picked us up at the airport in St. John and we had dinner at Swiss Chalet (a favourite of hers) and did a bit of shopping at Walmart. We took the 1.5 hour drive to St. Andrew's and arrived at the Fairmont Algonquin. Since it was already well past Logan's bedtime we got up to our room and went to bed.


Yesterday, we were hoping to go whale watching but it didn't seem as though the fog was going to lift, so we decided to postpone that activity for a better day. It's pretty foggy here both in the morning and at night...probably because it's fairly warm during the day but really cools off in the evening and through the night. So instead, we went to Ministers Island. It's an island here in St. Andrew's where William Van Horne had an estate. We were able to drive onto the island since it was during low tide...a few hours later and the "road" we were on would have been covered in water. We took at look at Van Horne's barn and summer home. The summer home was huge...17 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

We headed back and had lunch at the clubhouse here at the Algonquin and went for a swim in the afternoon. Logan loves swimming so much!




Logan tuckered out after a long day - he's lying on his duck, holding onto his bear and sucking his thumb (all with his butt in the air!)


Today we are going whale watching, so that should be fun...hopefully we'll see some whales.
I've realized that most of the pictures that I've taken are of Logan...I'll try and get some from mom's camera to so more of what we did!
