O<\/span>ur vacation theme so far seems to be that old 70s classic, “Raindrops keep falling on my head.” It has rained pretty much consistently since we got here. Yesterday morning was cloudy and grey but temporarily not raining, with rain in the forecast for the afternoon, so we planned a little visit to the picturesque village of Victoria by the Sea for the morning, and capitulated to the idea of two dry hours in the Cineplex for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Of course, by the time we arrived in Victoria by the Sea, it was raining. Still pretty though!<\/p>\n

If you look really close, you can see Simon in the lighthouse window. Here’s a close-up of Lucas in the same spot.<\/p>\n

It has looked like this pretty much since we arrived. Gorgeous, verdant rolling hills and a leaden sky.<\/p>\n

I mean, how can you not love a place that gives props to the biggest tree? And you need rain to grow trees, right? Verdant fields look yellow and crusty with no rain, and no potatoes can grow without rain.<\/p>\n

We didn’t stay long in Victoria by the Sea. Patience frayed right about here, and we hopped back in the car to double back to Charlottetown for a movie. It was not our finest day on PEI, but we did have a lovely dinner at one of our favourite places. Red’s Corners near Montague might not look like much from the outside, but it is the best family restaurant on the Points East Coastal Drive, in our estimation. And hey, the forecast for today seems considerably less grey. There may even be a peek or two of sun, although it’s not supposed to warm up to much more than 20C. At this point, that sounds like an amazing forecast! BEACH DAY!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
