The sunshine was calling to me and I couldn't stay home...it was such a beautiful day I had to get out for a drive. We took the scenic route, taking the exit past Sussex through Fundy National Park. For the most part it was just a lot of trees but there was the occasional view of the water, one which I got a picture of. Once through the park we passed through a couple of small villages before getting to Hopewell Rocks. The park doesn't officially open until sometime in May but you could still walk around and go part way down the stairs to see the flowerpot rocks. You can check out this website for more info on this area. http://www.thehopewellrocks.ca/

After our walk we headed on towards Moncton which was another hour away, up and down hills and around some sharp curves, just taking our time and enjoying the day. Luckily no one seemed to be in a hurry therefore not riding my bumper! Since it was low tide at Hopewell, by the time we passed New River Beach on our way home it was high tide so I couldn't stop to take Maddie for a walk on the beach...oh well...another day. Here are a few pictures of our adventure today. Enjoy!

Flowerpot Rocks at Hopewell....You can see where the water has worn away the rocks during high tide.
