My husband wants to go see the 18th-century French fort/settlement at Lewisbourg in Nova Scotia this summer. We are both F&I reenactors, so I am more than willing to go along (for our honeymoon we drove to a F&I event at Ft Ticonderoga, and went on to Montreal. Wonderful trip!
We live in the DC suburbs. So this is either a veeeeerrry long drive (which would let us take camping gear), or we are considering flying into Brunswick ME and renting a car. It would be best if we could do this without missing more than a week and a half of work (Mon-Fri one week, and part of the next).
I know I want to see the tides at Fundy, but what else would you recommend while we are in the area? There's got to be some great music up there -- where and when? We can go pretty much any time in June/July/August, and already know that the best days for the tidal bore are --July 3-8 --Aug 2-7 --Aug 18-26.
Interesting gardens, historical sites, food (restaurants or sources), fairs (NOT renfaires!), places to hike or camp, any offbeat ideas are welcome! Thanks for any grist you can provide the mill...
