Hampton Inn
The kids were excited to be in a hotel again and were even more excited that the Hampton Inn of Moncton, NB had a water slide. They were up at 7am when the pool opened to get wet. I didn't see them in the pool much as they were busy finding creative ways to go down the water slide. They splashed around for a few hours before helping themselves to the complimentary breakfast that was served until 10am. I'm just glad they serve breakfast that late otherwise I would have missed it due to staying up late and sleeping in.

We couldn't wait around long...

We arrived very late into Grand Falls and could not find an open campground so we parked our bus on a quiet street that looked to be a farming road. We slept in until eight-thirty and were surprised the kids were all sleeping still. After looking at our watches we realized we had passed into another time zone and lost an hour again. We drove down the Trans Canada until we came to Grand Falls which is along the St. John river. We stopped into find the falls and came across a deserted park . All the kids explored the lovely rapids from above and then upon returning to use the bathrooms we noticed a shower. Everyone took turns and we felt refreshed for the day.
