My dream vacation! It was everything I had hoped it would be. Peaceful, quiet, remote, hardly any electronics, fresh air, an ocean breeze, waves lapping, lazing around reading books,.... ok, it wasn't quite that relaxing, but it sure was close. As close as it can be with a two year old in tow... The kids actually loved it and never once said they were bored! Hard to believe given there was no x box, or wii,,, theme park, rides, etc... Just sand and surf... and each other! It was such a nice break for me... not jumping in the minivan every two hours to pick someone up or drop someone off... The only thing I had to worry about was meals,, a few dishes... and which book to read to the kids... Finn was a little hard to entertain indoors,, but we brought "Bob the builder" DVD and that pretty much kept his attention when he was climbing the walls.. We had beautiful weather for the most part... a real bonus considering the amazing view we had.... the few days it was socked in we really missed it! The kids had a private beach to dig on ... although it wasn't combed and was a little stinky,,, I thought it was near perfect! The water was too chilly, but Finn went for an unexpected swim and the kids splashed in a bit... We also visited other beaches nearby which were still very unpopulated and every bit as beautiful.
We visited nearby towns for history, culture, down east hospitality and good seafood dinners!
More about that in the next few posts... Look for Shelburne, Birchtown, and Halifax to follow.
Ps: Yes that is a crab leg Luke is sticking up his nose!
YEs we are playing croquet! Luke took an absolute shine to this game and was found playing it with one of us whenever he could!
