  Friday: July 20.
  Up at 6:10 am, had to leave for 7.
  I have the horrible cold that Andrew and Brooke had. I slept all the way to the ferry.
  Arrived in Port Aux Basques at 12 pm. We ate at subway and then checked in.
  Ferry loaded at 2:00 pm, left NL at 3:15.
  I got sick within 30 mins on. So I slept til we were gonna eat dinner,took one look at dinner and had to run to bathroom. So went back up to lay down.
  Ferry docked in NS at 7:50pm.
  Headed to pams now to crash for the night.
  Crashed at pams around 11:30- brooke slept in the car at 9:30 and slept til this morning, waking only for a few mins.
  Had b'fast with Pam and left at 9:20 am- headed to Cap'ele, NB.
  Arrived in Cap'ele at 12:30 pm to a big turkey dinner with Cormier's and Welshman's.
  Left Aunts house at 3 pm. What an amazing turkey dinner.
  Loved meeting Noah and Caleb.
  Now Brooke's tears have started, my poor baby, left everything behind and I think it has finally hit her hard. Crying helps ease the pain though.
  We have arrived in Fredericton, NB at 4:30 pm. Now headed to friends house where we will stay for first 10 days, we move into our house on August 1.
  
  Thanks for following along on our journey to a new province with us!
