If you can't fly, just drive. At least that was our motto last week. We looked for cheap flights to New Brunswick for Easter weekend to no avail. So Thursday afternoon we decided to just drive the 15 hours. It was a relatively uneventful journey there minus snowy conditions (yes... in April!) and a speeding ticket in Quebec. Apparently pretending you don't speak French doesn't make you ineligible to receive an all-French ticket. I can see the headlines now: "French-speaking couple hides behind Ontario plates and Anglophone facade in hopes of evading speeding violation on snowy Quebec highway." Don't worry, I already mailed in the fine payment.
It was a surprise visit for the family and, thankfully, they hadn't moved or changed the locks since we were home at Christmas. Conveniently, we arrived just in time for turkey dinner. Spending time with family was amusing and memorable. We also had brief visits with friends in Montreal on the way there and back. Jeff and I both miss the uniqueness of the Acadian culture, so it was delightful to be back.
