Well folks, we made it to Halifax! We are just crossing the bridge and it has been a long couple of days. We had so much to do on Monday in Montreal that we didn’t get on the road until 4:30pm. We had arranged to spend the night in Fredericton, New Brunswick at JM’s cousin’s house because we knew doing the full 14 hours was not going to be possible. Driving that much takes it out of you - and we have just crossed the 3200km mark since we left Montreal.
The whole purpose of this trip is for JM to visit with family before he leaves for Korea, so it was nice to spend time with Sara, his cousin, and see her new home and puppy. I had met Sara at Christmas with all of the Britten clan (JM’s mom’s side of the family), but with 12 siblings and 256 cousins it is hard to spend time with each one.
We enjoyed breakfast and lunch with Sara, relaxed and chatted in her cozy backyard and hit the road close to 3:30pm. We made one stop for homemade ice cream off the side of the highway. While it was delicious, it was also ridiculously expensive. Poor Jean-Marc owed me an ice cream so he had to pay for that one.
We will be in Halifax for two nights and then off to Cape Breton for two and a half weeks. JM’s parents are spending the summer on a lake in Marble Mountain and I’m so excited to be there!
