Day 94 ~ Confederation Bridge, PEI

Day 93 ~ Charlottown, PEI ~

We went to Charlottown, PEI on Monday. It was really relaxing with cute little shops to look in and a nice waterfront area with sailboats and lobster fishing. We went camping right across the waterfront downtown so we had a nice view of the harbour. This is a cute pic of the beautifully kept townhouses downtown.

Day 92 ~ Hopewell Rocks ~

These images were taken at Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick along the Bay of Fundy. We got there at a great time because the tide was low enough to walk around the rock formations and we also got to see the tide slowly rise.

Day 91 ~ Bicycle ~

My lonely bike has been sitting outside our hotel since we arrived. I rode it once home almost 5km from work and it was the worst bike ride ever I almost ditched it at the side of the road. Thanks Dawn but your bike sucks!

Day 90 ~ Dandelion Dreamin' ~

Day 89 ~ Rainy Halifax ~

One of our favourite things to do when we first get to a new city or place is go to a coffee shop to people watch and read the local newspaper. It was a rainy day but it did let up a bit for us to walk the city and see some sights. This pic was taken near the coffee shop on Barrington Street downtown Halifax.

Day 88 ~ Peggy's Cove ~

Day 87 ~Tidnish Suspension Bridge~

Day 86 ~ Pond-alyn ~

Pond behind the Wandalyn Hotel

Day 85 ~ Low Tide ~

Saturday I had a day off so we thought we would explore just the local area a bit. The top pic is of Joggins Fossil Cliffs which is one of the main attractions closest to Amherst. It has fossils that date back 300 million years and is world famous in the nerd world...lol. It's on the Bay of Fundy and when we got there the tide was starting to rise, earlier in the day you could walk out far and search for undiscovered fossils.

And the bottom picture was taken in Parrsboro which is on the Bay of Fundy as well. We got there at low tide which was kind of cool to see and be able to walk around where in 5 hours will be filled with water. We plan to go to the New Brunswick side of the Bay of Fundy in a few weeks.

Day 84 ~ Amherst ~

Amherst is a small town in Nova Scotia just accross the border of New Brunswick. It actually looks a lot like Saskatchewan....not very exciting...lol. It's flat and has a lot of farmland but luckily is a great location to get to New Brunswick, PEI and Halifax!!

Day 83 ~ Work...boo! ~

We arrived at our destination today - Amherst, Nova Scotia!! The top pic is where I will sadly be spending most of my time here. The bottom picture is where Ryan will be playing poker at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton which is just 30 mins away from where we are staying.

Day 82 ~ Roadtrip Day #2 ~

The second day of our roadtrip we stopped in Boston for just an hour and walked around to see some sights. The city is actually really pretty with beautiful parks but unfortunately it was raining. I did get a couple of pics but I liked the ones from our second stop in Maine better so I decided to post those.

Our second stop on Wednesday was Portland, Maine. We had lunch on a deck overlooking the port in old downtown maine. Then we drove to one of the most photographed lighthouse called Portland Head Light. It had been raining all day and I was upset because I really wanted to get a nice picture of the lighthouse. Luckily as soon as we arrived to the light house the rain stopped, the clouds opened and the sunshine came out....it turned out to be a beautiful day and I think I got a pretty good pic too!!

We continued on driving from there and arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick late that night and got a hotel room for the night to get some much needed rest:)

Day 81 ~ Rainy Day in Conneticut ~

The first day of our roadtrip was a rainy one. Ryan drove the entire way to Conneticut while I slept most of the way since I worked the night before. We went a little out of the way so that Ryan could go to Foxwoods Casino which is known as the biggest casino in North America.

Day 80 ~ Karen-van ~

We are all packed to go...Karen-van is ready. We named our van Karen because it sounded like a good soccer mom name and its a play on Caravan...lol. Tomorrow our new adventure begins!!!! I have wanted to take a roadtrip to Eastern Canada for a long time now so its always a great feeling when it finally happens! I can't wait to meet the people, see the sights, taste the food and take a ton of pictures!!!

Day 79 ~ Frogs n' Flowers ~

I went back to the Botanical to try to get another frog image today. I keep hoping one will be on a lily pad but no luck so far. I got a pretty good close up this time though.

Day 78 ~ Snap Happy with Mom ~

Ryan and I went to visit my mom for the weekend in Elmira. My mom and I went to the St. Jacobs Farmers Market on Saturday morning. It was fun seeing all the mennonites at the farmers market selling their fresh fruits and vegetables. You would think since I grew up in Elmira it would be nothing seeing mennonites but since I have been living away from home for so long now I find myself more fascinated by their lifestyle.

In the afternoon we went to the Elora Gorge with Ryan in the afternoon. We went for a little hike through the park and into town and took lots of pictures. The bottom picture to the left is my mom taking a picture of the pretty flowers and the one to the right is Ryan patiently waiting for us to be done our picture taking frenzy...lol.

Day 77 ~ Mom's Garden ~

Day 76 ~ The Kissing Bridge ~

West Montrose covered bridge aka the kissing bridge (top)

Day 75 ~ Home Sweet Home ~

Ok so its way too hot to go out picture taking so this will have to do...lol. The opening to my sanctuary, man how I wish I had air conditioning.

Day 74 ~ Homemade Pizza ~

I was feeling lazy today so my picture for today is my dinner. Homemade goatcheese and veggie pizza...delicious!

Day 73 ~ Out for a Walk ~

We went out for a walk today in this crazy heat wave. 1 week today until we leave for a new adventure in the East Coast!!!

Day 72

Day 71 ~ Nature ~

Day 70

Day 69 ~ Happy Canada Day!!! ~

We went to watch the fireworks tonight for Canada Day. This is definately not an award winning pic but I thought the lines and colours looked cool. I really wanted to enjoy watching the fireworks and not worry about getting a good pic. Fireworks are at the falls 3 times per week so maybe I will go back and try to get a good one.

And because fireworks are romantic here's a pic I got earlier in the day on way to go get coffee....lol.
