East Coast Road Trip 2026 

Twelve years after the first East Coast Road Trip, my daughter and I hit the road to (secretly) celebrate my birthday in PEI.

Day 1

Smoky Sunrise

First Park - Lévis, QC - in 2014 I stopped here for my first park of the trip but it was fenced off and closed for addition of the QP.

Funny Signs

Beautiful Views

Grand Falls, NB had a considerable upgrade since 2014.

The Grand Falls!

Somehow we ended up in an accessible hotel room.

Day 2

Fredericton's historic Garrison District was hosting a night market when we arrived. The skatepark was walking distance from the hotel. Spotted this waxed out ledge on the way there.

When the skatepark first opened, the library offered loaner helmets and boards with a Library Card (idk if the program still exists)

Selfies while daddy skates.

Nora wouldn't believe that the St Lawrence & St John were rivers. 'They're too big' she said.

Just wait.
