Bay of Fundy, Take 2

New Brunswick is just so pretty. While Brad was visiting, we had the opportunity to go back to the Alma area and stay in an adorable cabin overlooking the Bay of Fundy.

Isn't it cute, y'all?


Jane, who owns Cleveland Place B&B also owns this gazebo/cabin, and let us take it over for the night.
 This is the view from the cabin. The first bit of water is actually a marsh, but beyond that is the Bay.



The first thing we did upon arriving was walk down to the beach. The tide was out (but on it's way back in as we quickly discovered) and we were able to walk out quite far. The boys loved it - and so did Nova. She ran around like a crazed animal chasing the waves and gulping down massive amounts of sea water before puking it all back up again.





That night, we hunkered down in the cabin and played some games. I played scrabble for the first time ever! I have always wanted to play, but the opportunity had never come up. I wasn't very good at it.


And D took to long too place his words.

Brad totally won. Then, as a reward, we let him sleep in the loft, which was octagonal shaped like the cabin.





On our way back to Sackville the next day, we stopped at the Hopewell Rocks, one of the best places to see the tides change. During low tide, you can walk on the ocean floor. We were there at high tide, so we just got to look at the water. It was still pretty cool. At low tide, you can walk under the18 ft high archway formed by the biggest rock...




 It was a delightfully sunny day, and we walked around the park checking out all the viewpoints.




 See, people, you should totally come visit me! It is lovely here in New Brunswick.
