The last time I had made it to my parents' house was in 2007 and I wanted to visit when the weather would be a little more reliable.  We took advantage of one of my Fridays off and my sister managed to join us from Nova Scotia and picked us up on the way to Blackville.  The weather cooperated, and although the water levels were low, we made it out on the river and floated down on the Easy-Going boat that my parents and friends use together.  We filled in the time with cards and King's Cribbage and headed back to Moncton on Sunday.
