Day 8 - Portsmouth, New Hampshire

This day was really fun, we stayed mostly in downtown Portsmouth and did a lot of shopping.

I think we got most of our souvenirs from this store. There stuff is amazing. I already had one of their cookbooks and when I realized I could go to one of their stores, I was so excited!

After all of our shopping and site seeing, we went on a Sea Kayaking sunset tour while dad went bike riding. He got some great pictures of us out on the kayak.

After our workout, we went back to downtown Portsmouth to Ri Ra, which is an Irish pub/restaurant that's located in an old bank. We ate dinner in the old vault. It was pretty cool.

The rest of the trip was just traveling home, getting our kids and realizing that we needed a vacation after our vacation. We had a great time and hope that you all can go to these amazing places.

Day 7 Bar Harbor and National Forest

We first spent some time in Bar Harbor, Maine and then went to the Acadia National Forest. The cool thing about Bar Harbor was the fog. It was so creepy that you couldn't see across the harbor.

Then Poof, an hour later, this is what you could see. Crazy!!

We ate at this great restaurant. We had the best food on this trip, I seriously don't think we have ever eaten so well.

Then we went in to the forest and it was really neat because you could go up the mountains and see the whole harbor, then down to a beach and play in the ocean, then walk in the forest and be surrounded by trees. We were there for about 5 hours and we only saw a third of it, it was so huge.

We then stopped for dinner and ate outside. Our view was incredible. The people next to us had these huge dogs. I swear they could have eaten us.

Day 6 Peggy's Cove and Historical Gardens

This day we went to Peggy's Cove. It's a great Lighthouse, well preserved and a tourist attraction. We were lucky to get a few pictures before all the 12 tour buses showed up.

The black rock behind dad carry off a lot of incautious tourists every year because the waves are so unpredictable.

We then drove down to our ferry and had sometime to stop at these gardens.

On our Ferry, going back to New Brunswick

Day 5 - Halifax, Nova Scotia

We stayed across the bay in Dartmouth and came across this bridge into Halifax.

Most of the morning was spent at the Wharf and in the Maritimes Museum. Halifax is where all the survivors and dead came to from the Titanic. They also track all the hurricanes for the year. I was in awe of how many there had already been.

The Wharf was really fun. It was cool to see all the old building surrounded by new. The architecture was amazing.

We went this tiny crystal store and got to see the guys hard at work making crystal goblets.

On our way up to the town Clock and Citadel, I took a bajillion pictures of the buildings. I really fell in love with the architecture. But I'll spare you and just post some. :)

At the very top of the hill is the town clock and citadel. It felt a lot like looking down one of San Francisco's streets.

We then took a tour of the Citadel that would protect the city from incoming invasion.

Next we walked down to the Public Gardens. They were amazing and I was so jealous that we don't have anything nearly as pretty to go to.

We were pretty bushed that night, so we went back to our hotel and went swimming. We met this great lady who told us about the outlet stores just outside our hotel, so we did some shopping and then went to dinner.
