weekend in Halifax Nova Scotia( photo heavy post)

(Casino..2 tall glass buildings in the background)

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far..

I went to Halifax on the weekend.About 2 1/2 hour

drive each way.It was a beautifull day 31 degrees

out.I wanted to go to photo memories to get scrapbook

 supplies that I can't find here ...We have a  micheal's ,

a Walmart and a local scrapbook shop but I wanted

something different.I was disapointed at the variety they

 carried ...

then  went to the waterfront and had supper at

Murphys.( scallops yum)..we got a habor side

table with an open window so we could smell

 the sea air

and watched the sailboats in the harbor...

Theadore tugboat

unique water to land tour boat..harbor tour then drives on the streets for city tour...

We shopped the local shops and malls then headed home again...

I couldn't believe I forgot my camera....

I took a few pics from the Net to show those of you that

 dont know the area  what we saw and how

 pretty it is...(thanks to whom ever took these pics originally)

I have included a few picks of the scrap

 items I did get ( cheaper than at micheals).
so not a total loss...

Hugs

Being Canada day I'd like to say I am very proud to be Canadian...

Where else can you ski 8 months of the year and have such polite people...

I also find it very amusing when I travel the questions I get

Like...

Do you live in an igloo?

Do you use utensils...like forks?

Do you have day care?

Do you go to work on a ski doo?

I live in a real house just like you in a small town...

I maybe a bit redneck but I do use a fork lol

And thank God we have daycare

and I drive a Hyundai elantra.

but it does have a car

starter and heated seats because it is Canada

And it’s freaking cold lol....

Happy Canada   D-eh!!!
