Our New Brunswick 2021 Family Summer Bucket List

by Ruth Ann

This summer we have another bucket list of activities to do and destinations to visit in New Brunswick with our family. We are sharing ideas and things to see and do with an 8-year-old.

Our goal for this summer with our family is all about finding new places to EXPLORE, new things to LEARN and trying new local food to EAT.

Here is our bucket list, and below you will find ideas in New Brunswick to fulfill this bucket list. These are the places we will likely try to fill our own bucket list this summer.

Our 2020 Holiday Season Family Bucketlist!

by Ruth Ann

With the world in limbo for making long-term plans these days, I thought I would create a bucket list of Family Favourite activities that we hope to do this year. If not, we will have lots of ideas and be able to plan for next year, right!?!

We are going to do a combination of at-home and hopefully outdoor activities. There is no snow at this point, so I am not including Sledding, Sleigh Rides or Skiing…but they would be added if we had a good amount of snow.

by Ruth Ann

Inside: Our #StopToSeeNB, two-night family visit to Alma, New Brunswick. Sharing what we did, where we ate, and where we stayed.

Stop #3 in our series “#StopToSeeNB – Visiting Hometowns In New Brunswick”, is Alma, New Brunswick. This was a fun-filled 3 days in Alma, experiencing history, hiking, beach exploring, and more.

We were sponsored in part by Fundy Cabins for this stay. They offered ideas and suggestions for where we ate and businesses in town to visit. All opinions and experiences are our own. We partner with destinations and businesses we feel fit our audience and brand.

#DiscoverNBBeaches – McLeod’s Beach

by Ruth Ann

When travelling from Saint John to St Martin’s on Route 111, why not venture along the coast via Route 825 and visit a few beaches along the way? McLeod’s Beach is the first of 3 beaches you will come across.

McLeod’s Beach, Reed’s Beach and Gardner Creek Beach are all on NB Route 825.

There is no parking, so we pulled off along the side of the road, there are a few spots with a little shoulder. When the tide is out,

#DiscoverNBBeaches – Reeds Beach

by Ruth Ann

As you can tell, based on our previous beach adventures, we have been visiting some beaches on some windy and cooler days. To be fair, often it is much warmer and even sunny inland, but when you head towards the Fundy Coast, you never know what’s in store. When heading out on any road trip, and especially a beach trip, always dress in layers and pack a sweatshirt!

#DiscoverNBBeaches – Gardner Creek Beach

by Ruth Ann

We are enjoying our summer and setting out each week, or so to #discoverNBbeaches to share with you. We hope you are enjoying this series, and would love any suggestions on beaches to visit!
A recent outing, on a cool and breezy Spring day, led us to explore Gardner Creek Beach on route 825, NB. It is located along the Fundy coast between Saint John and St. Martin’s, about 1.5 hours drive from Moncton, 30 minutes from Saint John, and about 15 minutes from St. Martin’s.

This beach is such a lovely spot for a relaxing stroll, exploring with the kids, a picnic lunch or just to stop and soak up the fresh sea air.
