NB/Nova scotia/PEI
 

Which area would you pick if going with kids ages 6 and 9 for 5 days.<BR><BR>I know that we can't travel around a whole lot so would like to get a few ideas on where to concentrate.<BR><BR>Thanks

There are warm water beaches, and very, very cold waterbeaches.<BR><BR>the warm ones are on Prince Edward island, and on the new Brunswick shore of Northumberland Strait, near Shediac.<BR><BR>The tides mean that the water level drops, leaving small, shallow pools of quite warm water, which are wonderful places for kids to play for hours.<BR><BR>If I was going with kids, I'd skip Cape Breton and the Cabort Trail, which is scenery-rich and appeals top adults.<BR><BR>I'd look for forts; kids love these. Downtown Halifax has its Citadel, and there's Fort Beausejour between NB and Nova Scotia, and Louisberg in NS come to mind.<BR><BR>BAK

Does the 5 days include driving from somewhere?<BR><BR>There's more distance involved than you might think!

Altough a NS'er, I would suggest PEI with children of that age. The beaches are wonderful and the amusement type activity abundent. Cavendish area is what I am talking about. However, NS has a lot to offer as well.<BR>

Thank you everyone. <BR><BR>No the 5 days doesn't including getting to the area. We have 5 full days to spend there.<BR>
