redToday was another relaxing day, it started out cold and cloudy, the high today was only 14 °C. The sun came out around 2:00 pm. We were going into Cornwall for dinner so we made a side trip to see a few lighthouses. The first one is the Blockhouse Point Lighthouse built in 1876.

We visited this lighthouse back in 2012 when we came to PEI.

Next stop was the Port-la-Joye-Fort Amherst National Historic Site. For some reason we didn’t stop here in 2012, which was odd as we had to drive right past it to get to the Blockhouse lighthouse.

Another contender for blog family photo. It would be fitting as our current photo is from our Newfoundland 2013 trip of us sitting on the Parks Canada red chairs in Gros Morne.
