With all of these vacation photos, the blog is finally living up to its name!

Prince Edward Island Day 1

After getting out of Maine, we drove for hours and hours across the middle of nowhere in New Brunswick, Canada. Around 5:00 we had reached the Confederation Bridge, our road to PEI. The Island was gorgeous, and can best be described in terms of gemstones- the sapphire sea, the ruby-red cliffs, and the emerald fields were all a landscape artist's dream!

That night for dinner, we went to a restaurant called Lobster on the Wharf. It had a stunning view of the harbor in Charlottetown, and right next door we could see people setting up a concert venue for the PEI celebration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the confederation that unified Canada. The food was good for the most part. My sister, aunt, and uncle all had the traditional lobster dinner (which I regret not eating myself) and they all enjoyed it very much. The restaurant had phenomenal rolls, too. I was tempted and had the lobster mac and cheese carbonera, but was very disappointed with it. The cheese sauce was very lacking, and overall it was meh. If I had had something else, I'm sure my experience as a whole there would've been much better. Here's a picture of the restaurant.

I got my scores for the AP tests I took in May back, and I'm very happy!!!!! Colleges that give out a lot of credit for AP courses are high on my list.

After leaving Portland, I went to the coolest restaurant ever!!!!! In nearby Brunswick, Maine there was a restaurant called Frontier. It was located in an old mill/warehouse right on a scenic rocky river. Not only is it a restaurant, but it also serves as a music venue, art-house movie theater, and art gallery! On the walls they showcased the artwork of local youth, and every week they rotate in new artwork. I had fabulous bacon-wrapped pork that was smothered in blueberry sauce (blueberries are HUGE in Maine) with mashed parsnips and cauliflower and brussel sprouts. It was a phenomenal meal, and an even more phenomenal venue! Someday I hope to go back to Maine, and when I do, Frontier better still be there!!!!!

Portland, Maine

These pictures were from my second day of vacation on the way up to Canada. We stopped in Portland, Maine for the afternoon. I really enjoyed Portland, it was a cute town filled with great shops, interesting artwork, and delicious food! One interesting stop there was a Soda Bar. I've never seen anything like it in my life; it was set up like a bar, but it only served all-natural handmade sodas. The "bartenders" were all teenagers, as well. I got a cherry cream soda, and it was delicious!
