Road Trip Day-  Today it was so nice outside that we decided to go explore.  We visited Lunenburg, saw the Bluenose, explored the town and head lunch on the patio overlooking the bay.  From there, we headed to Blue Rocks.  The locals in Luneburg told us that, that is the village to they believe is the most beautiful.  It is a true fishing village, unfortunately, we...

It is no secret that when we got married, I had hoped to have all boys and Mark wanted to have all girls.  Well… Mark got his wish, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine our life any other way.  Truthfully, I like that we out number him and he really has no hopes of winning any argument:) But on days like today, I can’t help but look at him and...

The storm was crazy last night.  We all laid in our beds and no one dared to move for fear that the trailer would start to roll away.  The wind gusts were around 84km/hour and trailer rocked us back and forth.  Unfortunately, it was not the comforting rocking of a rocking chair or the rocking we had experienced on the Tall Ship a few days earlier.  We awoke to find...

Since returning from out east last summer, all the children have dreamed about is returning and eating more of the delicious clam chowder they had.  We have tried the local chowder in every place we stopped but today was dedicated to driving two hours to sample what has been voted as the world’s best chowder.  The Sea Cave backdrop was a bonus.  We spent hours...
