This was our one rainy day, so we stayed close to Saint John. I’d love to have this as my local park – it’s quite walkable, but you can bring your car on the loop road, so we got in a decent amount of sight seeing before the rain got to be too much.

Kingsbrae Garden was such a lovely surprise. Even though we came two days before they were set to close for the season, there was so much to see. I’d love to come back in warmer weather, if this is what you get off season.

Naturally, we had to catch the Dambo Trolls while we were at the botanical garden. I had seen the three closest to the visitor’s center on a previous visit that the BF wasn’t able to make. So we caught the two I hadn’t seen, and he got to see all five. The Seeds did elude
