Day 22 (July 5) of our road trip

Hello! Day 22 was relaxing. we got up at a regular time and had breakfast, then drove to Charley and Shelby’s house to hang out. We played some games together, played on the trampoline, and watched some tv together. We had lunch and supper at their house, and went to the cabin to go to bed. It wasn’t very eventful, but it was nice to have a day where not much happened. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 21 (July 4) of our road trip

Hello! Day 21 was really long. We were planning to drive back to Grand Falls, but it ended up being a day of not doing much since we got stuck in traffic. We got up earlier than usual, and packed everything up, which took until 11, when we left for Grand Falls. We drove for a while and then got stuck in an insanely long line. We tried to drive around, but there wasn’t any way to do so. We ended up stopping at Long Beach and made lunch from what we had in the cooler. We stayed there for a while, and Dad found out that there had been a really bad accident at 7 in the morning that had shut down the highway. That highway is the only way to get from one side of the island to the other, so we were stuck. After a long time, the highway finally opened one lane at 7 at night. We drove down that and made it to a hotel where we had supper. We made the last bit of driving down to the cabin, and went to bed. That’s all for today. Bye!

Day 20 (July 3) of our road trip

Hello! On day 20, we got up at a normal time again, had breakfast at the campsite, and drove to the town to visit our cousins. I played some games with Jack and then we ate lunch. They went out for a walk, and I stayed at their house to play some games and write the blog. After that, we drove to Canadian Tire to get some things we needed, like neck pillows for the boat trip back to Nova Scotia, packaged suppers for the evening, and some candy. We also got a lawn game set, but we ended up returning that the next day since it disappointingly had the wrong parts in it. We also saw some off-brand board games, which was really funny. We drove back to the campsite and had our supper. After that, we went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 19 (July 2) of our road trip

Hello! Day 19 was good. We got up at a normal time, and Dad went out to the town to do some errands. Once he got back and I had had breakfast and gotten dressed, we packed for two nights at a campground in a different part of Newfoundland and went out. Dad had picked up a hairbrush, which I had forgotten to bring to Newfoundland and on the way, I gave my hair a good brush through. We listened to the audiobook of Yesteryear, which is a good book, and you should try reading it. Once we made it to the campground, we set up my tent and drove to a friend’s house for supper. After that, I wrote up a bunch of blogs. We drove back to the campsite, set up some awnings, and went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 18 (July 1)

Hello! I only just realized I missed a day which would have been day 13. Nothing really big happened on that day, so it’s okay that I missed it. Day 18 was also good. Dad and I got up, had breakfast, and went golfing. We did a full 18 holes and carried our clubs the whole way. After that we went to Subway for lunch and then back to Charley and Shelby’s house, and we hung out for the rest of the day. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 16 (June 29) of our road trip

Hello! Day 16 was more fun than the day before. We got up at 7:30 because that’s when the boat stopped moving. We drove to the cabin, and unpacked some of our stuff, but not before picking up my cousin Charley and afterwards we drove back to her house, where her sister and parents had arrived from school/work and we hung out for a while. We tried to play Minecraft together, but it didn’t end up working so we just all played separately. we had supper at their house and then Dad and I drove back to the cabin for bed. That’s all for today. Bye!

Day 15 (June 28) of our road trip

Hello! Today was very long. We got up at 7:30 to pack everything up. We had breakfast first, then started getting everything packed. That took most of the morning, and I managed to get a run in. Then we had a bit of lunch and started our drive to the ferry that took us to Newfoundland. The drive was really pretty, and the weather was very nice. We stopped at A&W for supper, and went the last bit to the ferry. We got on, and went to our seats near the top of the boat. It was an overnight ferry, so we slept through it. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 14 (June 27) of our road trip

Hello! Day 14 was fairly normal. I got up, had breakfast, and got dressed. I did a workout, and we did chores for a while. We had lunch at about 1:00. We did more chores and nothing for a while before supper. After supper, we played a new board game called Hues and Cues where you have to describe colors and other people have to guess what color it is from a set of squares on a board. After that, we went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 13 (June 26) of our road trip

Hello! Day 13 was good. It’s been a while since I posted, and I’m sorry about that. this day was pretty normal, but in the evening some friends came over for supper. Mum made cake for the occasion, so we had two cakes. I finished the puzzle right before supper and then tried to catch up on some blogs. I wasn’t very successful, as you could see. That’s all for now. Bye!
