Our Stay at Storeytown Cottages #StayNB #exploreNB

Taking  time to connect as a family is something I really did not realize we needed, at least not until we did it. Like many families, we tend to spend more time shuffling around to activities, keeping up with everyday life and rarely taking time to do relaxing and unplugged activities as a family unit. As you may already know, our boys are 10 years apart in age, so finding mutual interests or places that can entertain both, is often a challenge. At Storeytown Cottages we experienced a wide variety of activities, and enjoyed plenty of space to relax and unwind as a family.
