Husband doesn't mind it either really. He drives downtown Halifax for a living so not much he hasn't seen.

We did the Parliament Tour as well. Before we left I reached to to Geoff Regan, who was the speaker at that time. He had his assistant give us a private tour. It was amazing. The library brought me to tears, so beautiful. It's such an experience. If they still have the light show, it's a must do.

Lol! Husband said he would never complain about Halifax traffic again after dealing with Montreal. That lasted until we hit the 102 on our way home. Enjoy! Ottawa is another favourite spot for us as well!

Happy Gotcha Day Dandy and Matt!

We'd always been nervous to go based on what folks told us. But none of it was true, I speak limited French - understand it all but speaking meh, kept mixing my French and Spanish - true rookie. Husband speaks zero of either. As soon as they heard English, they were all over it, every place we went.

2655 kms for our latest Canadian road trip. 3 provinces, multiple destinations and a few bucket list items. Montreal you were awesome!

I am in Glen Haven, a little closer to the ocean than Hubley and no we don't get it often. Hubley would be even less. This year we've had zero summer fog.

Their bike lanes are exceptional. Five bikes across, completely full. They even have bike lights at the intersections. Would have been great if folks had actually paid attention to them. We saw more than one pedestrian almost get nailed. The infrastructure is fantastic though.

I have never seen as many cyclists in my life as I did in old Montreal. The bike lanes were jammed full. Much like the drivers thought these cyclists are just down right crazy. Lights, pedestrians, buses be dammed, they just keep going. It was a bit scary to watch at times tbh. No helmets 😬

First leg of our vacation booked. Never stayed in Edmundston before, so why not give it a go! From there who knows where we'll end up. The adventure begins!

Donair, but only if they do their pita on the grill. Hate dry pita! Otherwise blueberry grunt for the win.

I will never understand people who go to a store 5 minutes before it closes, hear all the pages about closing but think it doesn't apply to them. You know what, the folks working there have been on their feet for hours. Walk a minute in their shoes. How would you feel?

Deciding vacation this year is hard. 😣 We've been all over the Atlantic Provinces, Ontario and Quebec. Alberta is a no right now. BC is too expensive and he wants to wait until we retire for the UK, Ireland or Europe.

Looking like a throw the bags in the vehicle and see where we end up vacation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's so amazing!

This is her actual paw print. Took about an hour for the whole process and cost $230.00.

I got my first one a few months ago. I have always wanted one but was never truly inspired until my 18 year old Missy died. I talked to a lot of people who already had tattoos about their experiences and decided on a local artist. We messaged for a bit then worked together to come up with this.

I don't mind them at appropriate times on special occasions. But if folks are having them outside the norm, notice is appreciated. If we can prepare, that shows you care.

Shame on every single American who is allowing this to happen without protest. What happened 'we the people'? It's your country not his. Now is your time to step up for your fellow USA people's.

This might be the year I finally convince the husband to cross the pond for our vacation. We used to do the US, but that's not happening again anytime soon. We've done a lot of Canada already, need to save some for that cross Canada retirement trip. So maybe Ireland, Scotland or London 🤔🤞

Nope. Not a chance.

Funny headlines 'Trump's Disastrous Handling...' seriously, everything he does is just disastrous. Happy to see Canada just moving on. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Girlfriend has convinced son to part with all his remote control gadgets. Giving them to the three nephews. Clearly this is a serious relationship. Mom approved ❤️

If you work for ICE, you should be embarrassed. I would quit any job that had me doing what they are doing. Morals and values matter. Clearly these ICE workers, who have the privilege of choice, have neither morals or values.

Where I live there is lots within walking or biking distance. The Post Office is a 20 minute walk. Closest cafe, 2 minutes. Marina and Yacht Club, 10 minutes. Tim's is an hour walk but if I am going that far, I plan multiple stops so I need my vehicle. E-bikes are very popular out here as well.

You need to find the right burb. I grew up in West End Halifax, moved to Dartmouth and then Tantallon. Tantallon has grown exponentially since we moved here. Not much we don't have access to within minutes while still keeping a sense of a small community. I love watching the birds on our property!

Trump's leaving early. Byeeeee. Don't let door hit you on the way out loser.

Funny, I saw a show on my TV guide that I thought said 'Death of a Union' and all I could think was wow they made a movie about what's happening in the US way faster than I thought they would. Turns out it was 'Death of a Unicorn'.

Wow! The #nokings protests are impressive. Way to show up for your country!

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

And the politicians elected by the people are letting this happen. Shame on you. All of you. When the people rise up, you will be forgotten.
