Port au Choix & L’Anse aux Meadows

Newfoundland trip, Day 5 took us from Gros Morne National Park up to the Northern tip of the island to see where the Vikings landed.

We stopped at Port au Choix first, thinking there might be something exciting to see. What we found was a lighthouse & lots of wind…

But we also found a visitor center with some friendly staff who walked the kids through some of the history of the place.

And they had a one-footed hopping competition.

After the visitor center, we had a bit of lunch & hit the road again!

We arrived a bit late in L’Anse aux Meadows, so we only had time to visit Norstead that evening.

We took a little hike up to the top of a nearby hill overlooking the ocean.

Asher tried to pull Owen in the wagon, but it was a bit too tough for him.

So, he got a little help, & all the kids had a tiny ride!

We just had enough time to stop by the L’Anse aux Meadows visitor center before it closed for the night.  We’d have to return the next day…
