Day Trips In New Brunswick With Kids
Day Trips In New Brunswick With Kids
For many summers now, we have been doing day trips from our home in Moncton, NB. With two children that are almost 10 years apart in age, we have tried to find adventures that are interesting for both boys. While some day tripping adventures have been the entire family, many have been just myself and the kids, while hubby is working. Keeping this in mind, many of the day trips are doable with one adult and a couple children.

I was looking forward to seeing and experiencing the Wild Lights display, but really had no idea just how well it was done.
