Nova Scotia

I had so much fun visiting my parents. I wish I could go again! Karlyn was an amazing traveler. She did great on our long flights and didn't complain too much about all the sight seeing we did, which was mostly from the car since it was still a little cold.

The first day I was there we drove along the coast and saw some beautiful beaches and small towns.

The next day we drove over to Peggy's Cove and saw an old fishing village and lighthouse. The ocean is so beautiful and we were lucky to be the only ones around. It was so cold we bundled up as much as we could.

This is of another fishing village we visited. I just thought it was a beautiful picture.

We visited Prince Edward Island and had fun exploring and seeing all the beautiful beaches and red cliffs. It's just full of old small towns. We also visited Cavendish were the book of Anne of Green Gables is based from. This is the home the author visited often during her youth and on which she used as Green Gables in her book.

Karlyn warmed up to Grandpa so quickly and loved being with him. This is a picture of them on "lover's lane."

The beaches at Cavendish.

We stopped for some famous Cow Ice Cream and Kalryn loved it. We found her cute hat in Charlottetown. I was glad we found it. The wind was blowing and it was freezing.

In all our travels around PEI we were sent to the the Frosty Treat, by the District President's wife who said it was the best food and ice cream. The hamburger was pretty good, but we didn't try the ice cream since we had already been to Cow's that day.

Before we left PEI we drove along the west coast. Well Karlyn decided she was hungry, so we found a place to stop and feed her. We drove down a red dirt rode and this is where it stopped, right at the ocean.


We visited the Hopewell Rocks at the Bay of Fundy. We got there in time to explore and then watch the tide come in. I couldn't believe how fast the tide came in. We had only been there an hour when the tide started to change. My dad and I had gone exploring and when we headed back we couldn't go the way my dad had come. It was just so much fun to watch and Karlyn was such a good sport even though it was so cold. Her poor nose got so red.

We also visited the Halifax Harbor where I actually ate lobster and got to see some really big ships.

We had a great time on our vacation. I'm so glad my parents were able to take the week off and show us around. It was fun to be with them again.

What fun pictures! It's funny how the backgrounds are so amazing they seem fake! I'm so glad you got to go visit them and what a nice break for you!
