We didn't get as early a morning start as we said we would so we arrived at Kings Landing in the forenoon. We spent close to 4 hours there before we got headed back to Brewer, 3 hours away. Right off the bat, we lead the caravan on a wrong turn that added to an already long drive. I think we were home around 7 pm. It had been a fun week with family. I hope we can do it again sometime.
Kings Landing is a 19th century community full of animals, historic homes and characters interpreting real stories from New Brunswick's colorful past. It was another beautiful, warm day to be outside.
A woman taught us how to knit hats and scarves on a loom. Other classes were candle making, straw braiding, rug hooking and stringing vegetables.
