the confederation bridge

Today I had to go to Sussex, N.B. for work and I must say I was looking forward to the drive and a change of scenery.   I downloaded some tunes last night to take with me on the drive over.  There is nothing better than a nice drive while singing along to your favorite tunes!  I was hoping to spot one of the MANY deer everyone has been talking about, but no such luck!!  Instead, I came across a MOOSE on the side of the highway.  After taking a quick pic, I hightailed it out of there and continued on toward Sussex.

say cheeese!!

I missed the turnoff to Sussex and headed into Moncton.  I KNEW I should have taken the exit to Fredericton/Saint John but I am always second guessing myself when I travel.  I really need to pick up a GPS for the car!  Once I knew I was heading in the right direction, I turned the tunes back on and continued my “singing”.  The sun eventually came out and I actually had to turn on the air conditioning.  It was a beautiful day for driving (or so I thought!).  When I left PEI, it was raining and misreable.  The weather seems to change at the drop of a hat!

Once I arrived in Sussex, I met up with a co-worker to go over some “work” stuff.  We went out for dinner to a place called J.J’s.  I had a chef salad with grilled chicken and then a slice of cookie and cream cheesecake.  I love my cheesecake!!!   (sorry, no pic)

I was in Sussex about 3 hrs and then headed home around 1:30pm.  It was still sunny and warm.  Again I had to turn on the air conditioning.  After an hour of driving the sun went in and it started to rain.  I missed the turn off to Shediac and ended up going all the way into Sackville and then heading for PEI.  I wasn’t in any rush so I took my time and enjoyed the drive.  It started to snow and I clicked a few pics.  It was actually kinda pretty.

Wait a minute…it is the 1st of May right?   The weather quickly turned nasty and I was getting a little nervous. I could feel the car slip every so often so I slowed down and just took my time.  Besides,  I was only about 30 min from the bridge.  I’m soooo glad I left Sussex when I did!

It took me a little longer to get home, but I made it safe and sound!  After a quick call to hubby to let him know I was on the Island, I stopped by Sobeys to pick up some sushi for supper.  Hubby is going to see “Ironman” tonight and I am renting “27 dresses”.  I love Katherine Heigl!!!  Grace is outside as we speak making a snowman and “Boomer”Gallant, our local weatherman just announced we are going to have a warm weekend…22 degrees C…GO FIGURE!!!!

gotcha!!!
