I'll use this as a first entry since I want to try this out before my trip to South America. This entry will be pretty short, but I'll upload a pile of pictures. In September 2007 Ann and I and the kids (Jacqueline, Jasmine & Mikaela) and our friend Wendy enjoyed a fun-filled trip out east. We camped in some super-cool spots (Hole In the Wall, NB being the best), saw some fantastic sites (Hopewell Rocks, Cabot Trail) and managed to attend the wedding of our friends Eric & Heather in Dalvay, PEI (which was actually the initial incentive for the trip).

It was 3 weeks of sheer chaos travelling with 3 little kids, but thanks to our friend Wendy at least we had a 1-1 ratio of adults to kids. We survived and actually had a wonderful time despite the chaos, but we all came back happy to enjoy the comforts of home.

Unfortunately, whilst in Dalvay, PEI our digital camera died. So, while we took lots of video footage and lots of pics with a standard camera I haven't yet had the chance to digitize all that stuff to be able to post it up here. Perhaps I'll get to that, eventually.

Impressive as always
Looks like a wonderful time. I'm sure all the trials and tribulations of travelling with children will soon be forgotten and replaced with only fond memories and awesome pictures.
