Ann (with an e) for the Day

It has been a lifelong dream of traveling to Prince Edward Island to experience life as Anne of Green Gables for the day.  I read all of the books when I was in Middle School, and loved all of the movies, including the Avonlea TV series.  So, my mom planned a trip for the girls in the family to travel to PEI.  I left my babies and husband behind for the week (for the first time ever) and set out on the road with my mom and 2 sisters.  We stayed in a 2 room bungalow that wasn't more than 500 feet away from Green Gables.

 L.M. Montgomery based her description of Green Gables after real locations she grew up around. 

If you know about Anne of Green Gables then you will love this place.  We walked in the Haunted Wood:

 Walked down Lover's Lane:

   
And of course, we drank some Raspberry Cordial. (It tastes like Strawberry soda).
It started to rain on the way back to the bungalow, so I'm a little wet.













We also visited the birth place and burial grounds of L.M. Montgomery.

 We then headed over to the Village of Avonlea.  It's set in 1908, and it's adorable.  It had a ton of things for children to do as well.

 My favorite part was probably this folk band that sang songs from the Island.  The song we listened to over and over in the car was "On the Red Dirt Road."  And yes, the Island is full of red dirt roads.

We played a little dress-up. :)

 It had a complete farm.  Little Man would of loved it.
