Today we drove about three hours from Sussex, NB, to St. Andrews, NB. This is a tourist destination site. It's a quaint little ocean town and just a short distance to the United States. Downtown is full of shops and restaurants. They also have some murals on buildings that are very well done. We ate outside at a restaurant on the bay. Great spot, but it was chilly and breezy! We know that everyone else is sweltering in typical summer heat, but today in St. Andrews it's cool. We noticed other patrons with blankets, so we asked our waitress for blankets too. You can see that we aren't the only ones that are cold. Anyway, the lunch was fine. ?The photo looks like I'm not enjoying the cool weather, but I prefer cool to hot, but just not this cool for July 16th.

After lunch it warmed up a lot, and we went to Kingsbrae Gardens. This is billed as one of the top ten gardens in New Brunswick, and I believe it to be true. Almost everything was in bloom. They claim to have 2,500 different varieties of trees, shrubs, and plants. They have a sculpture garden and a few animals too. The Lamas had just been sheered from the looks of them.

Here's a view at the Kiwanis Oceanfront RV Park. The view is beautiful. That's the Atlantic Ocean in front of the motor home.

Tomorrow we're going to Campobello for the day. It's a US National Historic Site that is located in Canada. It was the summer home of Franklin Delanor Roosevelt. I'm told that is furnished exactly like they left it back in the 40's. Exciting, right?

Just a reminder to our family; tomorrow is our 45th anniversary. It's a "green" anniversary!
