The Horn Family (2 adults, 2 college students and a teen age 14) from Philadelphia spent their summer vacation on Prince Edward Island, Canada.  Since mom is an English college professor, they chose the island as it’s the setting of the book Anne of Green Gables.  The family flew into Halifax, Nova Scotia and drove to Charlottetown, a scenic 4 hour drive.  Their GPS came in handle for this drive.  They stayed in a 3 bedroom cottage at the summer only beachfront resort of Dalvay by the Sea on the east end of Prince Edward National Park.  They enjoyed many of the Anne of Green Gables related tourist sites and stayed active using the hotel’s kayaks and bikes.  They really liked the beach facilities inside the park and also explored the region on a guided kayak tour.  The island, known for its pastoral scenery and lush farmland, was a lot bigger than the family expected although it’s Canada’s smallest province.  They finished their trip back in Halifax and stayed at the Marriott Halifax Harbourfront Hotel.  They liked being right on the harbor which was nice for walking and sightseeing.  They drove down to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenberg which they said was worth the trip.  Despite running out of time to see Cape Briton Island, the trip was an overall success and enjoyed by all.
