nova scotia- day 1...

we arrived in black point, nova scotia late afternoon yesterday, made it in just under 10 hours! so happy to be here, i can't even tell you how long i've been looking forward to this vacation. the morning started off today (at 6:25am) with my favorite view over saint margarets bay as the fog was dissipating...


it's a bird. it's a plane. oh, no, it's just hank. he's in heaven up here, galloping around like he's just been freed from jail or something...


we've been watching the news reports of hurricane irene back home all morning (we get the local boston channels up here). it's been lightly raining most of the day and the winds have picked up a little, but nothing like hurricane earl we had last year, thank heavens!...


and this little girl has been patiently looking out the window all day to see if the light rain & wind would stop so she could go swimming...maybe tomorrow sweetie...


mom brought up about 40 cucumbers from her garden back home in westport, so in lieu of the crappy weather we stayed dry inside and made pickles, and lots of them! we also had cucumber sandwiches for lunch, safe to say by the end of this trip we'll be cucumbered out...


looking forward to a nicer weather day tomorrow and the rest of the week. it's nice to have a little time with just mom this week before the rest of our family comes up for labor day. more to come!
