Nova Scotia Part 2...Finally!

Okay so my posting has slowed right down with the reentry into the all consuming world of school but I'm going to get this post out  finally.

So when I visited Nova Scotia, it was very relaxing. My first post was about the beach and the time I was there before Mom and Dad came out. Well they were there for hurricane Bill but after that we visited Peggy's Cove and were mesmerized by the crashing waves.





Look at those waves crash. I told Heidi to let me know if I was going to be swept out to sea!!



This is the damage that was done by the waves in the little hamlet that is at Peggy's Cove. The little store was pushed right off its foundation!



This sign was in Mahone Bay. I laughed because it got my attention and it's always good to acknowledge the uneventful spots as well.




Mahone Bay had lots a sail boats in it.




This is the Blue Nose at Lunnenberg where we saw a school built back in the 1800's along with a church. Both were beautifl. The fog was rolling in and the hilly streets made me think of San Franciso streets.




Blueberry picking!! We went blueberry picking on our way to Fort Anne and Tranquill Momments Bed & Breakfast.



This flower was found in the Public Gardens in Halifax. The Public Gardens was beautiful with fountains and water and of course plants and flowers. Gorgeous!!

We also went to the citadel. This is when they were changing the gaurds.



What fun was had in Nova Scotia!!!! I'm ready for another vacation.

Nova Scotia - First Half!!

I took 450 pictures in 12 days while I was visiting Heidi and Joel in Eastern Passage. I'm NOT going to share all 450 pics with you because 3 were actually videos and I don't want to sit in this chair typing out what they are and where they are. Some you would most definitely find boring, as I took 109 pictures at Peggy's Cove. The waves were coming in splashing on the rocks and it is just so hard to get a good splash one so I had to keep trying.


This is Lawrencetown Beach. We went there Monday night after I got in. It was high tide because there was very little sand to walk on. It was beautiful.






I wasn't paying attention and a big wave came and got my pants wet! He he he.




Heidi and Joel enjoying the ocean...




Heidi and I took Princess down to fisherman's cove to walk the board walk.



We went back to the beach on the hot day...but it was cool at the beach so I didn't swim. Princess had a lot of fun fetching her ball and jumping through the waves.

We also went to Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg (where the Bluenose resides). We saw Fort Anne and Port Royal which was the first settlement. I"ll have to post those pics next time!
