Do you remember reading Anne of Green Gables and dreaming of meeting Gilbert at the Lake of Shining Waters on Prince Edward Island? Well, I did! And this year I went on a Girls Trip with my mom, sister and her two daughters and did all things Anne! It was truly magical from taking a ride around the Lake of Shining Waters in Matthew's Carriage to exploring Avonlea (the fictional village), and exploring all the sites I've come to know and love, it's just beautiful! A few tips for taking a trip like this:
Be a tourist: people know you're there to visit Anne of Green Gables sites - they even have road signs pointing you to them! Just enjoy it - be silly and pose for funny pictures, act out your favorite parts, recite poems from the book. Just soak it all in!
Eat seafood and try the local restaurants: Wow, the food was amazing in PEI and the people are so friendly. Make sure you get some lobster or oysters, all caught fresh daily!
Explore the entire island as you'll see many different sites along the way. Charlottetown was a beautiful city with a fun downtown shopping area, and the smaller villages were great to explore.
What's on your bucket list?
