Summer Vacation

D. and I booked our accommodations for our upcoming trip to New Brunswick: three nights camping on a cliff's edge in Grand Manan, NB, and one night at a swanky boutique hotel in Old Quebec city.

We've got two weeks off. We're kicking off the holiday with the Savoie family bash, then planning to spend a few nights at Mom & Dad's. It's D's first time in NB during the summer so I'm looking forward to showing him the local scenery.

After Mom & Dad's, it's off to catch the 90 minute ferry to Grand Manan where we'll be Cliff Edge camping with an ocean view. From the campground's Web site:

"You will be beside the feeding route of whales and in the night you would listen, or may be awakened, as they blow and breach. Sometimes their singing breaks through the ocean surface below you."

Next it's a stopover for a little more luxury in Old Quebec city and then it's back home for a second week of rest, relaxation and whatever tickles our fancy.

Family, adventure, luxury and relaxation - sounds like a perfect summer vacation to me!
