Today we had to drive out to O'Leary for Tats' aviation medical. In order to make the nearly six hours of driving (approx. three each way) more bearable, we decided to break up the excursion into smaller, chunks. The first stop on our adventure took us to the Bottle Houses, just past Summerside.
WELL worth the $16 family admission, this "museum" and gardens are just magical! (click photos to enlarge)

On the grounds there was also a ring toss game, which the boys enjoyed playing....
Next it was onwards to O'Leary, where Tats went to her appt with the examiner at the newish, bright and lovely Community Hospital, while the boys and I headed over to a nearby school for a picnic under a tree and a romp in the adjacent playground.
After Tatsy's exam (she passed, thank goodness!), we visited the Canadian Potato Museum (only on PEI, lol!), where we saw a number of fascinating current and historic farm implements, and learned about various types of potato pests.

After the museum, we headed back towards our part of the Island, but not before stopping to check out the warplanes in Slemon park first -- one of the planes on display had been navigated by Tats' aviation medical examiner during the cold war!
We explored the three aircraft and even found time to do a little geocaching in the wheel of one of the planes before moving on....

By now it was time for dinner, so we decided to stop by at the New Glasgow Lobster Supper and satiate our appetites for Island fare before heading back to St Peter's Harbour.
