Day 26 (July 9) of our road trip

Hello! Day 26 was really fun. We got up at a normal time, had breakfast, and got dressed. I did the dishes and cleaned up my room. We had lunch at 12 ish and then I went to a D&D one shot camp that’s happening every Thursday for the next few weeks. Not everyone was there, so we played a smaller, shorter game about stealing honey as bears. The camp was three hours long, and it was very silly. Dad went to a bunch of stores while I was there, and he picked me up after it was done, around 4:30. After we got home, we cleaned some more and made spaghetti for supper. We watched The Big Bang Theory while we ate. After supper, I played some games and we went to bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 25 (July 8) of our road trip

Hello! Day 25 was good. We got up at about 7 since that was when the boat landed in Nova Scotia and I got a muffin from the cafe onboard. We went all the way down to our car and drove off the boat. from there, we drove down to our house. The weather was really good, since the sies were clear and it wasn’t too hot. Not much happened on the way, and we arrived at 1:15. We brought some of our stuff inside and took a break for lunch. We took everything in off the car, and I did some general chores around the house. We had sausages for lunch and then got ready for bed. That’s all for now. Bye!

Day 24 (July 7) of our road trip

Hello! Day 24 was tiring. We got up, had breakfast, and packed everything up into the car to go, which took most of the morning. After we left, around 11, we drove for 5 hours to the ferry terminal. On the way, Dad stopped to get photos of a black bear that was by the road. A few minutes later, we stopped again to get photos of a moose on the other side of the road. We stopped at a Tim Horton’s for lunch and then kept driving. We listened to Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree, and we almost finished it. When we got to the terminal, we had supper at the cafe and hung around for a while, since we were two hours early. I played some games and wrote the blog, and we eventually got on the boat. We walked up the stairs to our seats, read for a while and tried to fall asleep. This took a while. That’s all for now. Bye!

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!
