Darryl's Mom's cottage again...it's just pretty over there :) I'm hoping to get some pics so other folks can see what it's like. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful time.

Looking at areal and satellite imagery, it seems like most of NS would be stunningly beautiful.

That's bad news will lots of super cold refrigeration help?

But being off isn't all bad provided that you are not turning green and bits are falling off all the time. :D

But an idea for a meal I've been reliably informed that 6 Year Old roasted in a camp Oven over a large bed of coals and marinated in Honey is delicious. [i]Edited to add[/i] it prevents the kid getting the idea eventually that she knows better then her mother. Hope you enjoy the trip away. ]:)

we're home btw ;) with the kidlet in tow...we had an awesome lightning show last night over PEI though...didn't exactly get as much sleep as we would all like, but the storm made it worth it :) Darryl did get some pics (not of the lightning though) hopefully he'll get them posted somewhere so folks can have a look :D !

lightning over the water before....just amazed me!

She's lived within 30 minutes of the Atlantic Ocean for over (let's just say more than 29 years) and has never seen lightning over the water until last night.

Well.....she can cross that off her list now....it was a medium to low end display but I think it still scared the $h1t out of her :)

didn't manage to catch it & get it on the grill though :(

I've seen lightning over the Atlantic just from short trips to the New England area. And plenty over Lake Erie. Some over Lake Huron (Saginaw Bay), and plenty over many smaller lakes in Michigan and Ohio.

Our inland freshwater sea has plenty of that, in general.

Of course, I've been to NYC and didn't see the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building or Grand Central. But I did get to chase two large, muddy dogs through Central park at two in the A.M. Included lightning as well.

But it keeps the peoples of the far north alive. Not big on cooking fires - can't really burn snow. (And if snow did burn, we'd all be in a world of trouble.)

sometimes they have kite building and other fun things for kids.

Get a DVD player that will plug in to the car power. Have a few kids movies and a couple of cartoons and you can drive more than 2 hours with kids, easily.

We've been driving from NY to FL annually for 10 years, a 22 hour trip, starting when the kids were 3 and 5. We got a little sick of "Barney"'s "I love you" song, but then we found a "Y" for the headphones and didn't have to listen to it. Kids sat in the back glued to the boob tube. We "deprived" them of TV for a week before we left, so they couldn't get enough of it in the car.

Next year the older one will have his license, so we'll have 3 drivers instead of 2.

Good one.....but that must have been a rough week :D
