We were somewhat reluctant to try the trip to Campobello
Island because it would mean that we would have to cross the border into New
Brunswick, Canada. We had our passports
with us, but we noticed that they had expired in April. We stopped at the border crossing and asked
the U.S. officer if we would be able to make the crossing. She told us that it would not be a problem so
away we went. Campobello Island was the
summer home for FDR, both as a young boy and later as President. It was here where he was stricken by polio. It is a gorgeous spot and we were able to
tour through the home. We were so glad
that we made the trip.
The ranger at Croix Island suggested that we visit the Quoddy Head Lighthouse so we drove by there to take some photos. The lighthouse is painted red and white stripes and was a great photo op.
