Ketching up on blog is the hardest part while on the road,
doing my best! Al is enjoying documenting a lot of doings and really more wordy than usual. We are enjoying her view of the trip, the first big adventure in a long while.
As this is Friday the 13th we will be aiming into Newfoundland with open eyes and another quick pass thru Walmart.
Gros Morne Park is today's destination, and we are looking forward to finally making the journey along west side of NL, up and around top.
Got a request for Viking Hat from home, so hope to head towards village on North eastern shore

Wow all that driving got us all tired.Today Monday July 9,2012 was an amazing day.The first thing we did was got up from bed and got ready to leave the campground.We turned the electricity off turned the fridge to battery and turned the water off.Then we put our waste in a tube under ground let me just tell you it didn’t smell nice.Then we hit the road.I was listening to music and trying to fall asleep so was KK.For breakfast i had cereal so did KK but KK had milk with hers.We drove for a long time well i think i was asleep for most of it.Oh i almost forgot me and my grandpa found a seacret place with wiled blueberries let me tell you they were really good.Next we stopped at a little area by the beach we saw lots of boats in the mud because the tide was down.I got little gifts for my parents KK got a gift for someone.Then TD Sr was talking to a lady that said the rock caves were very close to there.Well i think you can guess what the next thing we did was.Well if you cant ill tell you.We went to the water caves.OMG it was so rocky every were we stepped there was either rocks mud or water streams but there was mostly rocks.OH i almost forgot there were mountains of seaweed.The caves were so big but didn’t go in to far.There were about two deep caves that were dark on the inside and one shallow cave but there were tiny caves inside of it.We were there for longer then an hour.My feet got so muddy oh and KK’s shoe didn’t like her i mean that they kept coming off her foot but i think her shoe liked me because i was always the one to catch her shoe when it fell off.Me and KK’s feet were so muddy that we just decided to walk in the stream.Oh and also the reason we were walking in the stream was because that there are a lot of wishing rocks.I know what your about to ask what is a wishing rock?Let me till you. Its a rock with a white line circled around it its called a wishing rock because if you find one you make a wish on it and when it comes true you pass it to another person.Then we had lunch at a seafood place along the beach.I thought that what my grandpa had was the best he had a very good fish sandwich.Then i fell a sleep well when i was a sleep we drove to the campsite and checked in.We had a very nice spot.After a few minutes at the camp site we went for pizza.I had a huge salad well i split it with grammy but these other people were like surprised that the salad that big was for a little girl.Last we went back to the camp site.It felt like this day would never end.I hope you now i meant that in a good way. WOW such bizzy days well we are on this trip.Well thats all for today folks.Talk to you next time.BYE!

Today we drove150 miles about.Then we drove on the fundy trail.On the trail there was a beach that we stopped at and took lots of pics and was walking on the rocks.There were big mountains that a long time ago there was a hurricane maybe that toppled over and lots of big rocks fell off the mountains and stayed in big pieces.We were looking for wishing rocks but after a while we realized that there were no wishing rocks.After a while KK left and it was just me and my grandpa.It was so hard to walk on all the big and small rocks.But it was so fun.Then we went back to the RV and my grandma made us all sandwiches for us for lunch.Then we drove to the Hope well rocks witch is a beach that has rocks with trees on the top of them.When its high tide the trees on the top of the rocks that when its high tide the trees get wet by the water.The rocks are so cool that we took lots of pics.Then we went to get ice cream in the same area of the rocks.Then cause we were all to tired to walk back to the car we took the shuttle.Know we are in Nova Scotia.We are in a hotel called comfort inn hotel in Amherst,Nova Scotia canada.For dinner we had Fish and hamburgers at Conners Family restaurant. We are in the hotel trying to go to sleep.Thats it talk to you next time.

Today we are in the hotel.YAY!The second hotel of the trip.We had breakfast at our hotel it was free so that’s good.The breakfast was really good.We looked up ferry times so we can go to Newfoundland.You have to go on a ferry to get there thats the only way you can get there well besides by boat.The comfort inn hotel is so comfortable.It was relaxing.We are going on the ferry at 10 but you have to be there 2 hours ahead so we will be there at 8.I am so excited.You can get reserved seats or cabins to sleep in cause it is a 8 hour ferry ride.Then because the ferry ride is on the 12 we are driving to were the ferry takes off.We saw what the boat looked like.We tried to guess which one we were going on because there were more then one ferry boat.Well the ferry boats didn’t come in the beginning of the day it came in towards the end of the day.I will say it again when it happens.Then we were on the road.We drove 400 miles at the most.Give or take a few.Then right a cross from our hotel there was a Walmart .So then we went there to get some food for the camper.We were at the store for a long time.Then after the long Walmart stop we went on the road.Then when it was lunch time we stopped at a pond and had lunch at a picnic table there.Then we drove for an even longer time.We sopped at a place that was a mountain and at the lower part of it there was the water.It was beautiful.Then we drove some more until we stopped at the dock were the fairies were placed.They were huge.We took lots of pics.Then my grandpa said that we should have chines for dinner and luckily there was a chines place just around the corner from the dock with the fairies.And let me tell you the chines was so good.Next my grandma knew that there was another KOA in the area that she made a phone call to dee if there was any open spots.Luckily there was and only for one night and only for the day we needed to.So i thought that that was lucky.Last we drove to the campsite and got settled in.It is nice because it is close to the ferry docks and you can see the water from our spot.We are not the only people with the nice spots some people even have it closer to the water.Don’t you think that today is a lucky day.Well i do i have bin saying the word lucky in a lot of sentences.Well thats it for today.Don’t you wish there is more.Well there is going to be more tomorrow.Well i think you can wait.But if you cant just think about what tomorrows is going to be like.Well Bye for now.

Today we drove about 20 miles from new harris to the ferry.But the only sad part on the ferry was the very beginning.As soon as we got there we had to show this man our tickets and there was a lot of problems but not bad problems.Then after we showed this man our tickets we had to wait in this line but like i said we had to get there 2 hours ahead.So we had to wait in that line forever.But luckily there was a Tim Hortons right next to the line so we sat in the line for a little longer then we walked over to Tim Hortons and had breakfast.Then after breakfast we went back to our car.We had to wait in line forever we are in row 7 so it took forever because there are 4 rows ahead of us and we are a camper so they have to load the cars on a certain way.They had to do all the big trucks and cars first.Then they did campers and everything like campers.But they loaded a different way.They did a row like # 8 and then are row.But after a while we got on.I took so many pics.From the out side of the boat to getting in the entrance of the boat from the inside of the boat.Well not the inside inside but the inside were they store the cars. Then we walked up to the upper deck of the boat.OMG!The boat was so nice.It was really big.The chairs we sat in were so comfortable.You could even recline the chairs.And you can plug earphones to the chairs so you can chose a channel and watch the show that is on the TV.THere was even a gift shop.There were 10 floors and the 8th floor had cabins to sleep in and the 9th floor was reserved seats.There was even ice cream in the 9th floor.The ocean was so beautiful.Me and my grandpa were walking around the ship and it was so nice.The 10th floor was the sun roof.Its were you go up there and you see the ocean a lot better.We took even more pics on the sun roof.We even saw whales.Then when it was time to get off the boat you would have to sit in your seats until we here the floor our car was parked on.But there was so many people trying to get to there cars so the halls to the elevator that we just took 8 flights of stairs down to our car.When we got down to the place were some cars were kept there was so many cars it was hard to get by.We had to go around big and small cars.It was like a maze.The car was at the end of the ship that we had to walk around a lot of cars. But when we finely reached the car we got in and the workers said to not start your engine and the cars in front of us started there engine. It didn’t take long for our camper to get out of the ship because they do it from middle and to the sides.When we first got out of the ship it was so beautiful how the water looked. After that we were driving and saw an info place so we stopped there and asked for directions and cause there were lots of cool things there i took some stuff but don’t worry it was free.Next we had a book that told us were the closest to us.So we stopped at the Paradise campground.We had chinese for dinner again but it was so good.Thats it for now.BYE!
