Tracadie-Sheila, New Brunswick

August 25, 201.

We had planned to make a stop in Quebec City as well but we were a little bit worried that some RV parks would be starting to shut down on the East Coast before we had made it out there.  So we did a big jump and drove from Montreal out to the North-Eastern tip of New Brunswick for our next stop.  Up until this point, I had never driven the truck while the trailer was attached to it, but since Eric was needing to get in a day of work; my time had come.

Just for future reference, if anyone is driving across New Brunswick do not take highway 180 East…Eric and I switched spots so that he could drive because this was literally the worst road he or I had ever been on.  There was absolutely no shoulder and a lot of the time part of the road was missing chunks. Just the worst. We stayed at a park called Chalets et Camping du la Point in Haut-Sheila, NB.  The kids absolutely loved it because it had a big bouncy pad and a zip line and pool.  It was absolutely packed and definitely the craziest/loudest park we have stayed at yet.  All the other parks we have stayed at have been very quiet with lots of space and room to move around.  This place was not that.  They had fireworks which were great and much better than we expected, and they also had live music/karaoke playing really loud and late into the night.  When I went to check on Haydn before I went to bed, he had his pillow and his covers jumbled up on top of his head to block out the noise so that he could sleep.

Since this park was right on the ocean, we spent one day just relaxing at the beach.  Looking for shells and rocks, playing in the water and building sand castles.  Eric was warning Haydn and Ada about rip tides and telling them what to do if they got caught in one, so I am pretty sure Haydn won’t be swimming in the ocean anytime soon.
