We headed out to the Charlottetown (YYG) Airport at noon to meet Gillian’s plane. Gillian came in on the same flight number we did a week ago, she had better weather when she landed. It was a beautiful day, low 20’s and no humidity like last week. This is what you get when you leave your camera with Thing 2 while you go to the washroom, a goofy picture of Thing 3.
Visiting the sights inside the Charlottetown Airport while waiting for Gillian.
We had a sign for Gillian.
Here are the greeting party waiting for Gilian to come through the doors.
Gillian finished her summer job on Friday. She had a good experience working for Enersource.
Thanks to the Pinder’s, all of them drove Gillian to the airport bright and early. Mark even went in with Gillian to print her baggage tag, drop her bag off and get her to security.
We drove into downtown Charlottetown to walk around and have lunch.
This is like the big 1812 they had in Halifax. 1864 is the year of the Charlottetown Conference.
There are nine mice hidden around Charlottetown, we came across 3 of 9 today.
There was a lot happening downtown, it was the Art in the Open PEI event Saturday night and the TD Blues and Jazz Festival.
Mouse number two. He was missing an ear.
Outside one of the stores down by the wharf.
Angela and Claudia with William Henry Pope (1825–1879), he was one of the Fathers of Confederation. During the 1864 Charlottetown Conference, there was a circus going on in town, so Pope had to row out to the steamer to greet the other representatives.
Claudia relaxing.
Streets were a little busier when we were leaving, this is the same street with the picnic tables above.
The last mouse we found on the way to our car.
We hit the beach for low tide when we got back.
So far of all the beaches we have visited in PEI, our beach is the best for sea glass.
We had a fire to end the night. It was a Sturgeon Moon tonight, it is a Supermoon, it occurs when the full moon is at its closest point to earth. If you missed this one you can catch the next one on September 28th, it is suppose to be even closer.
It was a cloudy night and eventually the cloud came over and blocked it out.
Our fire.
Angela came up with the idea to get Gillian to take a picture of her writing her name with her fire stick. I tried to take some photos as well.
Claudia writing PEI.
Angela mastered writing her name backwards for the camera.
This was Claudia’s second attempt at her name.
Angela writing Tanabe.
Angela and Claudia making a heart, Claudia’s stick needed a recharge.
The two of them going crazy.
