Nova Scotia

We visited the South Shore of Nova Scotia just before the university term started. We rented a little private chalet right on the ocean. We were actually in the same chalet that Andrew and I stayed in during our honeymoon 4 years ago. After a long flight Evan spent the first day exploring the chalet.

and pushing his stroller around the living room.


Evan was mastering walking on this trip. Daddy helped Evan get his shoes on so that he could explore outside and see the water.




Here is the yard that we enjoyed. Evan discovered some flowers growing by the beach.








The yard was equipped with a firepit and muskoka chairs. After Evan went to sleep we opened a bottle of local L'Acadie red wine and watched the full moon over the ocean.

There were some pretty sunrises too.


Despite the gloomy weather forecast, we ventured to Lunenburg, the home of the Bluenose. The famous sailing ship was out to celebrate in Halifax, but we admired the colourful houses, shops coast, and enjoyed the local sea fare. Luckily the rain held off too!





We also took many day trips into Mahone Bay, a pretty little town between Oak Island and Lunenburg. We had the best lobster sandwiches (with strawberries!) here. YUM!

Evan was tuckered out with our many walks and the fresh sea air.


We had a great trip and look forward to visiting the East coast again soon!
