How I Spent My Summer Vacation Part 3

So the story continues. Last we left we were at Upper Clements Park in Upper Clements, Nova Scotia. So after staying there ALL day for a really reasonable fee, fun rides, Zip Lines  and rides where my kids did all the driving?

I called the day a total success. Well you know what? The Day got better! yes it did.  We drove to the town of New Minas, met up with some friends, and had supper. It was 8pm on a wing night , and it was great. It was nice and slow eating, talking and the kids had a great time. We tried to stick to one place in particular because they had a good deal on and we know based on the location in our home town that it's always good food. The kids like it! There's nothing better than going somewhere that makes your kids feel comfortable and that he food is made just for them. 
After eating, we checked into our hotel and slept like rocks! it was hot but we were all well worn out from the fun at the Park that it didn't matter at all. Next morning we headed out to see Hubbie's University to show the kids around. It's kind of a "you know I worked hard, went to university and got me a good base for my current job" message for our older boys mostly.  I know they're young still but it's the tiny hints that drive the message home. Also to be had there? Free wifi!  After stopping through Wolfville we headed out to Halifax. Oh there was also a stop at Grand Pre Winery for some ah supplies.. hehe. I even bought myself a hoody in a smaller than i was wearing size just because.
Halifax was great fun! we hit Cows Ice Cream shop on the Wharf, and well because I managed to melt my ice cream down my shirt, I had to buy a hoody. Couldn't go out to eat with ice cream showing right? So zippered up my hoody and headed out to a Pizza place. Yummy!
Another night of sleeping, lots and lots off sleeping. One thing we did bring with us this trip was a inflatable Bed. Some places just don't seem to make rooms big enough  for spare cots so with our single inflatable we had lots of guarenteed room for all.
Friday we spent the day down on the wharf again. It was the Buskers Week so we got to see some nice free shows and we took a trip with on this guy for a tour of the harbour.



Theodore!!! Thanks for the Tour!

MJ got to Captain Theodore too.
The Theodore Tour was fabulous! the staff there were excellent. Everyone was so happy and friendly. I love when that happens. It really does make kids and families enjoy themselves.
