Our Summer Vacation in Pictures: Part Deux
We arrived in Nova Scotia just in time for 2 days of unrelenting rain (associated with the remnants of a tropical storm travelling up the east coast of the U.S., I believe). Unfortunately, the awning of our trailer couldn't withstand the torrential downpour and partially collapsed under the weight of the heavy rain:
Our campsite then became known as "The Swamp" for a few days, and Big Sister enjoyed splashing around in the puddles:
We didn't let a bit of rain dampen our spirits though. We panned for gold:
had fun with Yogi:
and continued our "Light House Tour":
Margaretsville, N.S.
The Girls in Margaretsville
We travelled from our campsite in the Annapolis Valley to the south shore for a day trip to Lunenberg, Mahone Bay, and Peggy's Cove:
The "Three Churches" in Mahone Bay
Sailing in Lunenberg
The harbour at Peggy's
Emma among the ropes on a wharf at Peggy's
Big Sister and Daddy at Peggy's
Emma (doing her best Travelocity Gnome impression) at Peggy's Cove.
While in Nova Scotia, we visited friends, where Big Sister helped to feed the cows:
and Emma met Molly :)
We also went to the zoo, where Big Sister chased some lamas and fed the goats and a brown bear:
Before long, it was time to pack up and head home. We spent our last day in Quebec City where we enjoyed a lovely dinner and a night-time ferry ride:
All in all, it was a great holiday. The two weeks went by too quickly and we're already looking forward to a return trip next year!

awwwww, what a beautiful family. And what sensational photos. A true maritime adventure. Thank-you for sharing.
Sounds and looks like a wonderful time was had by all. Your so brave to go in a trailer and with 2 kids! Ok I used Brave but we all know what I mean. ;)
Thanks for sharing these amazing photo's.
Thanks for sharing. Your trip looks fantastic! I have been to the area where you were and I loved it, it is so beautiful. I also have a 2nd cousin who works on the Bluenose every summer. They live in Lunenburg, so you may have run into them ;).
Between you and NorthernMom you guys are making trailer camping seem like something we should all do!!
Sigh, I love the last picture. Tanned, content, and full to the brim with great memories :~)
