Corner Brook Trip why?

Have you ever heard the saying that getting there is half the fun. In the case of our trip to Corner Brook that is so true. We left just after noon from ST. Anthony and drove on the most beautiful February winter day we could hope for. Blue skies poked out between the grey clouds and sun bathed us as we drove along. By the time we got to Parsons Pond and stopped for gas and a treat for the kids we just could not contain our delight at the mountains off in the distance. We had to capture a brief moment on video. We actually uploaded it here. We had a great chat with the lady at the gas station/restauraunt and she was so friendly. WE really enjoyed meeting her. This was the second stop actually as we stopped in Flowers cove where the kids wanted something to eat. We always stop at the one restauraunt with the drug store attached and both the clerk in the drugstore and the owner in the restaurant and took some time to chat with me. It was great to get to know some of the folks who live in this small town. I had been here a few times before so knew the restaurant well and it is recomended to me by Aaron Beswick from the Northern Pen. When we got to Grose Morne though we just needed to get a small sample of the sight we saw again with even bigger mountains in the bright sunshine. HERE is where we uploaded a small sample. All in all a great day to be a resident of Newfoundland and another reason why living on the Northern Peninsula is so great. We need to leave from time to time and experience the best views on a drive to and from our new home. I suggest if you want a great place to visit you think about the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland.
