The story began with a 5-week journey in a 1997 RV, from Richmond, Va to Utah and back, July 23 through August 27, 2011. The next step included the sale of that RV and the purchase of a larger, classier RV we call Princess. Now we have changed RVs again. We sold the Princess to a family of 5, and purchased a 2017 Class C, smaller than the Princess but some better features as well as some limitations storage wise. And so our adventures continue.

Green Gables
I suppose one must visit the Green Gables Heritage Site if one is on PEI. Entrance to the site is included in our National Parks Discovery Pass, so we did just that. I never read "Anne of Green Gables", so I was unfamiliar with the history of this place. The author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, visited family here and referenced them in her book. The grounds include the Green Gables House, gardens, stables, and a few other buildings. Visitors can tour the house, which to me looked like a house one might find in colonial New England, with all its furnishings. There is a cafe on site and a large gift shop, and plenty of tourists around. We were there for less than an hour, but I am sure that many visitors spend 2 or 3 hours on the grounds.
