I’m Smiling!
World Smile Day Falls on the 1st Friday of October.
Today I am full of smiles. You see next week my sweetie has a week vacation BUT what I didn’t know was that he starts that vacation TODAY! Yes, he’s home today having coffee this morning with me while we both do our morning catch up on the computer and then…
a trip to the market for some Fall decor.
A delicious lunch…chicken apple soup with a hint of curry and biscuits, we picked up at the market
and maybe…a little adventure today.
It’s such a gorgeous day for the long weekend and start of our vacay.
David even got out on the bike…
And Abby was all smiles because she went in the car to spend the day with Nana & Papa
A perfect day!!! 😀 Keep Smiling!
Leaf Watch!
I am officially on leaf watch! The colours are really starting to pop in our part of Canada. It probably is helped by the frosty mornings we have been having the last few days ( I don’t want to put the heat on yet)
Just in time for the Thanksgiving weekend and…David just needs to get through this week and he has a week vacation. A perfect time for us to do some day trips and chance to capture the beauty of the leaves!
Stay tuned…
Last weekend of August
I can’t believe it is the end of summer and the last weekend of August…ALREADY!!!
We spent a lovely Sunday in the city on the waterfront and geocaching, just hanging out with two our kids.
Desperate for rain…
We haven’t had rain for weeks…
and we desperately NEED it!!

Today is the last day of July …summer is half over. Where did the time go? I guess when you’re traveling days run together and you don’t even know which day of the week it is. Tomorrow David is back to work, it’s the first of August, Natal Day, here in Nova Scotia, and the start of EVERYTHING “Back to School” Wait…didn’t the kids just get out of school. Ahh…
ACROSS CANADA DAY: 21 July 30~ HOME ❤
We are home!!! 3 weeks of travel and adventure!! What an absolutely fantastic vacation! BUT, boy are we pooped!!! We packed so much in three weeks that it’s time to be home for a few days rest before David goes back to work. Well, after the laundry is done, car is washed and cleaned and groceries bought and we get Abby girl from my parents. AND put our pool back up for the hot days here… And maybe relax a little bit …lol
Today is our youngest son’s Birthday. James is 24 today BUT great thing for us, he is camping this weekend with friends so we will celebrate him on Monday. It gives us a couple days to get rested!
Ahhh….I can’t believe the beautiful provinces we have in our country. I feel very blessed to be a Canadian.
It’s nice to travel…BUT it’s good to be home.
ACROSS CANADA DAY: 20 July 29~ …the looonnnnggg way HOME
Today we will drive home. Fredericton, New Brunswick to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Not really that far.
BUT Leave it to me to extend this trip as long as I can.
Anna: “Hon, you know what we should do?”
David: “What?”
Anna: “We should take just a little extra time and pop down to one of our favourite spots”
David: ” Really?”
Anna: “Ya, we haven’t been there yet this summer and it would be such a nice ending to our Across Canada Adventure ”
lol, Haha…Guess where we went?
Can you tell from this picture?
How about this one?
Yes, we went to Peggy’s Cove. We stopped there for a really quick lunch. First time there this season and we ( I) thought it was a great way to finish our Across Canada Adventure ❤
ACROSS CANADA DAY: 18 July 27~ Montreal Bagels
I was craving authentic Montreal bagels! Today was supposed to be the the little diversion in our Across Canada Trip. Today we left Stoufville for home and were gonna dip down to the USA. Just for a change of scenery. We have done the drive from the Toronto area to Bridgewater via Canada so many times, we have also gone through the USA where gas is usually cheaper BUT, the more I got thinking about it the more I realized to make this a truly Canadian Road Trip, that we needed to continue through Canada. And besides…I was craving Montreal Bagels. St-viateur bagels to be exact. They are the best! And then smoked meat and poutine….ya we just had to go to Montreal!
Traffic was busy on the 401, lots of construction and actually lots of construction right in Old Port Montreal. We stopped by St. Viateur Street to the original flag ship store of St. Viateur bagels. They are open 24/7 and there’s usually a lineup for fresh out of the oven bagels.
Tonight we are staying on Rue Saint Paul, the oldest street in the city with cobblestone streets, although I think some of the construction is to take the old cobblestone out. We are in a quaint designer boutique hotel in the heart of old town Montreal.
So out we went for a little adventure…smoked meat sandwich from a food truck at the port and then authentic poutine with real cheese curds from the famous Montreal Poutine restaurant.
I enjoy these kind of places so much especially at night…
Goodnight from our little boutique hotel in Montreal ❤
ACROSS CANADA DAY: 16 July 25~ East Coast to West Coast
We are on the West Coast of our beautiful country! From Halifax to Victoria! We made it!!! Our country is truly amazing!!
We had fun exploring Victoria, BC’s beautiful capital city yesterday and today. Huge multi million dollar yachts, sea planes that fly you wherever you want to go, harbour taxis to the inner harbour and outer harbour, interesting float homes, historic buildings, 5 star hotels, magnificent castles, and Canada’s oldest China town and Oldest lighthouse on the West Coast …we saw it all. Victoria, BC’s Capital is a charming city.
Pictures will come soon. Internet at the Airport hotel is bad, they are having technical difficulties and since we are up again at 3 am for an early morning flight…I’ll say Goodbye British Columbia and goodnight!
