On the road - Day 2


After a quick stop at Bagel Central for the world's best, hot fresh bagels, we headed out of Bangor for the long drive across Maine and New Brunswick. It was overcast and cool again, but it was a good day for travel.

After a couple of hours of driving we stopped at New River Beach Provincial Park outside of St. John, New Brunswick. Pat and I camped here years earlier on one of our Canadian adventures, so we knew it was a great place to run around and get the sillies out.

The tide was out, and since New Brunswick has the highest (and lowest) tides in the world we had a massive expanse of beach all to our selves. Pat and Evan immediately began a game of chase. Not to be left out, Eli quickly joined in the fun. Then all four of us were running, screaming and laughing down the beach.
Once "chase" was over the boys took turns being thrown into the air by Dad. As you can see Eli got some serious hang time. Evan was more cautious, and only wanted be thrown "a little high".

Feeling refreshed, we dug out our picnic food, and climbed back in the car to enjoy a moving picnic.
