So it seems my kids get their procrastination skills honestly. Yes this is the 4th round of Summer Vacation talks. It was 2 degrees C here Thursday morning so a bit of Summer heat is welcome to me. So after our ride around the harbour and watching the buskers we went to tour the
Museum of the Altantic. I wish I had gotten a picture of a book they had in the case. It was the original "google business". A Business man had taken the time to make a directory of every business in the world! Maybe I can find a google pic? The museum is crammed full of information. Things to be seen, fake rotting Pirate Bodies, Titanic artifacts, The whole story of the cabling of the Atlantic ocean, boats, the Stories and artifacts from the Halifax Explosion, a computer to practice Morse Code, and so much more! oh and it's air conditioned! and when it's 32C some a/c is mighty comforting. The boys saw a lot and it was a lot to take in but they got to their saturation point early. Part of our admission was also the tour of the Acadia and the Sackville.

After leaving Halifax we stopped in
Truro where we stopped at the same restaurant chain we had stopped in before. The service was excellent. This was the one thing that was really enjoyable about our trip, we could count on Jungle Jim's to be clean, friendly and kid friendly. We will continue going there for family meals. The waitress at the Truro location was extremely helpful because she put up with my kids drink orders. I give you the Mountain Dew/Orange Soda colour changing experiment.
We didn't stay in Truro long because our next move was to go to the Island. You've all seen my Island before, it's family visits. So this will be he end of the Summer Vacation. Once on the Island, we visited family and I cooked some Lasagna for my inlaws, and before we knew it it was time to go home. Vacations really are too short.

2 degrees! Wow, I'm jealous. You've got cold weather and vacation!
The warm weather does sound inviting right about now. The directory is very cool.
Looks like you had a great time and of course visiting family is always fun! Thanks for sharing all the pictures.
