Our family (mis)adventures traveling and experiencing what this great country has to see and do.
I adore experiencing some of my favourite childhood memories all over again with my own little people and seeing the wonder in their eyes. With Lunenburg being a UNESCO World Heritage Site this means that everything is carefully preserved, authentic and is quite Continue reading “Lunenburg: Maritime History Comes Alive!”

Knowing that we have the opportunity to do it now and are unsure of when the opportunity will arise again we took the leap (and ferries) to Brier Island, Nova Scotia.

My not-so-secret love affair with Nova Scotia is as old as I am. In case you’re keeping track that continues to be 29 years for the third year in a row. There’s nothing I don’t absolutely love about Nova Scotia. The scenery amazes me each time we’re there. My mind never gets used to it.
