On the road to Prince Edward Island


We arrived at our hotel after a rainy but quiet ride. The boys slept for most of the ride and Pat and I had a chance to talk and enjoy each other’s company. Which sounds silly, since we do live together, but the past few months have been a whirlwind of activity, projects, illness and general chaos. Rare is the day that we can have an uninterrupted conversation about dinner choices, never mind anything of importance. But today the snoring from the backseat was a special break. Even though it was cold and rainy we were off to go a good start on this adventure. After all, escaping the house and it’s unending clutter, and the deck project that will not end, is just what this family needs.

We checked into a Comfort Inn next to the mall in Bangor. It was your standard sterile Comfort Inn room, far from fancy but clean and livable. However, as far as Evan was concerned, we had just checked into the Four Seasons. As we walked down the endless brown hallway (brown carpet, brown walls, brown ceiling even) Evan was giddy.

“Oohhhh, I’m so ‘cited!” he cooed with delight.

Once we unlocked the door and went inside the room Evan could hardly contain himself.
“I LOVE this place!” he screamed and immediately headed for the beds to begin jumping.

If he’s this excited by the Comfort Inn, wait until the real adventure beings.
