Friday’s Favs…I’m lovin’ P.E.I.!

084ps

What an amazing experience it has been to fulfill my dream of visiting Prince Edward Island!

It is a beautiful place, idyllic really.

The people here are so friendly.

As I mentioned before, Mama was born here. 

My French Acadian ancestors were early settlers of the island.

Today we happened upon a distant relative who owned a grocery store we stopped at

and another who worked at a museum we went to. 

They were so helpful in helping us to understand our history.

We were told that if our Mama was born here, that means we are islanders too.

I’m lovin’ it!

This former home of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s elderly relatives

was the home that was the inspiration for her book Anne of Green Gables.

A beautiful, restful, peaceful place. 

It is called the gentle island.

    Oh Elizabeth! I am so jealous that you visited P.E.I.! I have always wanted to go there and it just looks beautiful. How special to discover your connection to such an incredible place! We are slightly obsessed with Anne of Green Gables in our family. :-) Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us at Inspiration Friday!

    Well, my friend - If you are an Islander, that explains your love of the sea and the beach! Don't you think? Love tagging along with you. Can't wait to hear more!

    P.S. - We're heading back to the beach this weekend.
