July 4th
We went to Charlottetown and walked around the downtown. First stop was fish and chips at the Gahan House.

Over 30 years ago I became obsessed with the Island architect William Harris. He designed St. Paul's below in 1895. This was the first church he designed that I ever toured, summer of 1981. I have not been inside since, so we stopped and took a look around. Spectacular interior.
We then went to Home Depot and bought hoses and sprinklers for the yard, and out to Royalty Tile to pick out tiles for the foyer and basement bathroom.
Soon after returning to the house, Jim and Marcia arrived. They stayed at Highlyn View Chateau at the top of the hill.
The next day, Dolly, David and I took a road trip along the north shore. We visited Dalvay-by-the-Sea. I had never been there before. Beautiful house that is now a hotel.
Walked along Cavendish Beach
And did some shopping at The Dunes in Brackley. We go there every time we are on the Island. They have beautiful crafts and art.
On the way back we had dinner in a pub in Charlottetown. Another great day.
