Before I start this story I shall introduce my own family that accompanied me on this trip.
His Girlfriend Cathy
My Dad Tom
Her Daughters Shannon and Meghan
And of coucre Me and my sister Maddy
That is a picture of me covering my ears from the noisey shit from the high school musical soundtrack
At around 5:30 pm on a saturday we pulled up into the driveway of my Uncle Terry and Aunt Michelles house. We were very relieved to finally be out of the car and into a place we could call home besides the mini van for the next 8-9 days.
There we met my little cousins Amanda And Rachel.
Amanda is 7 and is going into grade 2 in the 2006/2007 school year. She's in french emersion and is very smart. She reminds me of myself when I was 7 years old. She loves Hillary Duff and went to one of her concerts one of the nights we were staying there. SHe really loves computers which again reminds me of myself <3 :P
Rachel is 4 years old. She loves playing makeover, doctor, family, tea party and baby. Although these games were fun and we tryed to play as often as possible I think it was better we stayed away most of the time :P Rachel is the cutest thing ive ever seen and in this picture shes holding a build a bear we gave her :) <3
I also re-met my aunt Michelle and Uncle Terry.
And Of cource there dog Boots. She is very very cute :D
We quickly settled into our new room above the garage, Maddy and I sharing the bed and Shannon and Meghan sleeping on futons on the floor
As we were very tired from 2 days of driving and crappy sleeping we quickly got readdy for bed after checking out the house and went to bed
The next day we went grocery shopping in the morning. We took a seriese of pictures of Meghan "Backhanding" objects so enjoy.
Shannon decided to get in on some action!
After that riviting experence we decided to take pictures of "local" things. So enjoy these too.
Day 1
A local Dairy Queen
A Local poser (no towns complete without one)
A local man with an mp3 on a bike
A local fire hydrant
Local ESL school kids outback smoking
When we got home we played outside and inside in the beautiful house we were staying in the was on the border of a lake. We played in the water, and we went tubing and on the Sea Doo
The next day we were really busy. We drove down to the warf and we went on a thing called a harbour hopper which here in tornonto is known as a hippo bus. They go on land and water. We toured the old part of the city and the main bay. We also shopped down at the warf. I got a shirt and a hat from the Mar II pirate cruise which we went on later in the week.
While we were on the Harbour hopper I managed to take many intesting LOCAL pictures
This hobo lived down by the warf and he is THE funniest hobo I've ever seen haahaha. Im happy duhhh duhh happ happy lmfao shannon and meghan I will miss him :P
Amanda and Rachel b4 we loaded onto the harbour hopper
The red hat ladys club and I think I reached the outfit initiation. But you have to be over 50 to join.. oh well one day.
Day 2
Local obese Kids
A local strip of stores
A local cardboard box in the water
A Local boat of Theadore Tugboat
Local government energy preserving buildings
A local pub called your fathers mustache
Day 3 was a monday and we were all very tired.
We loaded into the Van and headed an hour to: PEGGYS COVE!
We had to be very careful on the rocks for we could get injured
But I still like rust! lmfao
Meghan was a lone wolf though on the rocks and didn't head the light houses warning sign.
I unno what this is but its cool
Meghan and Shannon dared to jump across rocks :P
Day 3 (A peggys cove special)
What is peggys cove without the indian tour group
Or the fat woman Cathy got to take a picture of our family
Can't forget the people who love to pose, and whats a vacation without blonde girls posing for pictures
Don't forget the musicans
And last but not least don't forget the local fat people on tours. There important for a vacation lifestyle. Whenever someone is self councious about how at they look in there new shirt just think theres always someone fatter for people to stare at. So just think of it like that :P
That night we went to sleep awaiting Mahone Bay which was our next destination. Little did I know I would absolutly love the resturant we at lunch at.
We arose early in the morning to take a shower and Meghan made Crepes. Then we packed into the van and drove 1 1/2 hours to Mahone Bay.
Too bad were too young for alchohol. A pink Pussy cat looked very appatising (*rolls eyes* who comes up with these names?....)
This is the view of the balcony of where we ate
We stopped at a bar to eat and I had the best nachoes and chicken fingers I've ever had. And the view wasn't to bad either :)
we broke away from my Dad Maddy and Cathy and went shopping. Well you could call it that. It was really a serch of funny things to take pitcures of which brings us to the Day 4 locals :)
Day 4
We went into this weird gardening store... just....wtf are these for?
This one says it all for me
HAHA look closely lmao u actually thought I put a naked girl on my website. Dream on fellas :P this is local breast firming gel :S
A local spider dressed as a rock...
A nice picture of Pintel
The Asian store!
We went into a Tea store and we went into a Pewter store and a lady gave us a tour of how it's made. It's actually really cool. It will dry in literally 1 second
By the time we went home we were very restless and fed up of being in a car so we used the rest of the space on my camera :P
Later on that very same day we had to baby sit while all the adults went to a bar to see my cousin Ryan preform. We had no Idea how much torture it would be to baby sit 2 kids.
While we were playing games of the kids choice Maddy was quite happily reading doctor seuse book to Boots.
The kids were still full of Energy while we were very sleepy.
The games they made us play along with scared me just a bit.
By 9:30, Meghan Shannon and I were totally exaughsted from giving hundreds of makeovers to my cousins and playing just as many different games and running all over the house. When we got into Rachel's room the games settled dwon a bit and I had time to take some pictures.
At around 10 we were downstairs playing yet another game when the alarm went off. Not a real alarm but at my uncles house whenever you open a door a little beeper makes a noise. Well we were all in the basement and the beeper went off. No one had opened any doors. We knew it was nothing but Maddy who gets paranoid easily was a total wreck.
Amanda called her dad and he told her to check the video survelence they have set up around the house. Once we were sure no one was there everyone but Maddy calmed down. Visual evedence was obviously not enough for her. But we were all still just a bit freekd out. So we took the girls and piled into my aunt and Uncles bedroom. Rachel was worried about Boots so Meghan and I went and fetched her and locked her in with us.
Maddy made Meghan sit at the windowsill to watch for people for the first 45 miuntes or so. Trusting my uncle and aunts word, we expeted them back by around 10:30. which was only 30 miuntes away by this point. When 11 rolled by and there was no sign of anyone my sister got worried again and called them. They said to expect them at around 11 30.
By that time Me and meghan were on the floor with Rachel playing with Boots and Amanda and Maddy were tucked into bed with Shannon who was reading them a Christmas Scavenger hunt book by request of Amanda. by 12 when no one had showed up at the house and Shannon had put Rachel to bed and we were about to fall asleep, we started to get a little pissed off becasue we were tired of staying up to watch Amanda. We called them again and at 12:30 they finally showed up with my dad and stepmom who were very obviously drunk. We were so relieved we fell right into bed.
That picture about sums up our baby sitting experence with one facial expression from Shannon.
In the end I made
Was it worth it?... Well I guess so but I would NEVER do that again..well mabey for $50
Mar Cruise and Shopping down town day
This day was totally awesome! we went downtown and went shopping! then we went to a resturant and we were being fussy. So we had to leave and go to a different resturant becasue we had to be at the mar II pirate cruise in and hour. We made the dead line and met up with uncle terry and all them. We went on the cruise, dissed up some kids on the way, saw some jelly fish, drove the ship, and helped raise the masts. It was relly awesome
I saw thise 2pac thinige and it reminded me of Daniaal :P
(Inside Shown above)
Day 5
Local Really Obese People
Local cute dog that Maddy thought was a Llama from far away
Our local Pirate Cruise first mate not wearing a belt
My dad locally being a Monkey
THEY HATIN'! Shannon steering the ship
Me steering the ship
Meghan raising the Masts
A Jellyfish. And you will be my squishy!
This stchupid childs name is Cory. He looked about 11 years old and i despise him. He tried so hard to be a real pirate. He had an eye patch and he cut the bottom of his pants into triangles...He is such! a faggot. After the cruise we got off the boat and he was running infrount of us. And Shannon yelled CORY really really loud and he turned around and almost tripped lmfao. He gets what he deserved. Becasue also on the cruise he kept trying to hang around with my family becasue the captian was givving us special privelages like being at the wheel and no one else got to do that.
Dinner at my Uncle Roys
There were 4 standard poodles in the house at the time : Blue, Georgia, Oscar and some other one. This is Shannon with Georgia. Eillie is half poodle and this poodle is just like her.
The adult Dinner table includes :My uncle roy, Dianne, My cousin Ryan ,My dad My cousin Sean, Some lady, Cathy, And This other person who I forget.
It literally took me 25 pictures to get a picture of Ryan with his eyes open. Even though this picture isn't too good I don't care casue at least his eyes are open!
Me Rachel and Meghan! Amanda took this picture so it was a little blurred.
The final day in Halifax
We began our final day by going for a walk on a beach bordering the ocean. We picked up some rocks too and painted them.
After that we drove down to a park in the downton area. Dad and Maddy went shopping while we went into the park.
The park was actually really pretty. And we saw a tree planted by kids in like 1898 or something like that. And it was full grown now. I thought that was really cool.
I think these angel kids have the longest and weirdest penis's ever
Halifax has the WORLDS fattest ducks thats a fact I didnt make it up. Someone threw a peice of bread and it picked it up and tried to run and it couldn't becasue it was so fat. That's the only example I can give you and this picture.
After we left the park we passed the gay pride parade that was going on and we went shopping in a place called the Black Market. It was really cool.
This parade actually scared me abit....
Expecailly becasue this is a man 0.o
Yes it was...
This is the African store but it actually was really awesome and was one of the best store we went in the whole trip
This was the celing inside of the Black Market
This store is called the black market
I wonder if any skulls like this were in the movie. That would be awesome!
YAY pirates of the Carribean XD
The last stop we made before heding home was up to this famous landmark. Every day at 12 noon a cannon fires a cannon ball. We climbed up the whole thing. It has a 40 foot ditch that was used for capturing enimes back in the old days. But sadly it was never used because no one ever attacked Halifax.
We also visited Bud The Spud. Which is a French Fry place famous in Halifax for there home made fries. They were okay but I still like the ones we get at the bowling alley better :P
The final day
A local block of stone with my Cousin Ryan and his wife Madalines wdding date on it in 2004.
Local war re-enacturs walking to their destiation which is 2 blocks away.
A local guard that has to stay still all day.
A local really ugly girl outside the ice cream place we went too
When we got back to the house later we went tubing and on the sea doo for the vrey last time until we go back to Halifax. Some people came over for dinner and we had pasta and garlic bread and very yummy salad :) Then I took pictures of the house and we packed up to leave becasue we would be leaving at 10am the next morning.
After dinner Rachel gave me a sticker and I was thinking of an efective way I could use it. So i made every guy that came to dinner put it on there forehead so I could take a picture.
Shannon and Amanda decided to get in on the action too
We had to pack but I wanted to savour the memorys of the excellent house we stayed in so here is a virtual tour I made up just for you out of the pictures I took :D
Lets start with the frount door shall we
Turn left even more past the counter and u will find the kitchen and the walk in pantry
This is the view from the frount door. The kitchen table and balcony and quite often a group of people.
Go left even further and you will find a hallway which contains the art room and the bathroom. It also leads into the ahllway that leads up to our room.
If you backtrack to the kitchen table and got in a north-eastern direction you will find this little room. Equipt with couch, kareoke machine and keyboard.
But if you would prefer to just go eastern from the kitchen table you will find yourself in the T.v room. Which includes 3 chairs a couch a flat screen tv which is pretty big, a vcr, dvd and surround sound pluss satalite t.v and a fireplace
If you turn left at the frount door you will find yourself on a staircase leading to the upperlevel of the house. Which incles all the bedrooms, the master bathroom, an office and another decent sized bathroom with 2 sinks and a bath/shower.
heres Amandas room. It also has a t.v and vcr double bed and a huge walk in closet
Here we have Rachels room. It has a tv and vcr, double bed and a huge walk in closet.
Continuing down the hall we pass all the other rooms mentioned becasue I didn't take pictures of them. Into the master bedroom and once your in there make a left and walk into the master bathroom. Which has an awesome jet bathtub facing a t.v in a shlef and a shower with 4 jets an overhead shower head and a manual one. And plenty of room.
Making our way back down stairs and down further into the basement. Here we have the playroom and the deflated jumping castle and excersize machines.
Backing up out of the playroom we have the bed and arean where my dad and Cathy slept on a pullout couch
If you make a left from where my dads bed is you will find the door that leads out onto the lower deck.
Heres a view of the house from the back outside. I had to take 2 pictures to fit it in so try and peice it together in your mind.
A view of the "backyard" from the top deck
Heres a private beach for the girls to play on. They have a small stove so roast marshmallows.
The final shot of this tour is the frount of the house where the girls have there play fort.
Well I hope you enjoyed this tour of the house and now back to the trilogy of our trip
After packing we went swimming for the last time and by the time that that was done we were all very tired and readdy to wind down for our last day.
Rachel came up for one last modeling session before we had to leave the next day.
We found this deathly teddy bear in the corner...
The next morning at around 10 we loaded up into the car after saying our goodbyes. We drove for our next destination, New Brunswick. To the hotle we stayed at on the way here so we knew what to expect.
It's funny how all of Canada basicly looks the same. But all 4 of these pictures were taken on in one day on our way to the hotel in new brunswick.
Hours later we finally arrived at our hotel. On the way to halifax we had a bad experence with the hotel food, meaning it really sucked. So this time we headed to a stretch of stores in a nearby town and ate at a resturant. On the way there we saw some very intresting things.
Who would ever take there dogs to a salon called doggie style :P
We ended up going to a Pizza Parlour and it was actually really good. But the deserts all involved chocolate and we were too full to have any so we left after the main meal.
The next morning we re-packed and headed back to the car after a late night becasue we orederd Failure to launch the movie and watched it until 2am. ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
As soon as we arrived near our destination we went to the old part of Quebec city where we went on our Quebedc trip with my school last year.
Me and Meghan felt right at home as we have alreaddy been here b4.
By this time we were all quite hungry so we stopped at this shitty resturant that had nothing good to eat. I hate french ppl....And everyone was smoking! XD
There were many many intresting shops
The first place we decided to visit was Le Chateau Frontenac there were cool gift shops and a fur store in there
Meghan spent $140 here..
I rembered this Gelato shop from the last time we were here
A local musician, at first we thought he was a hobo but then we relized he was selling c.ds of his.
A local pretty building
They had name tags that say Hugette but not Shannon
Local Penis pens
A local crazy weirdo lady. She looked weirder from the frount but I couldn't get a picture
A local crazy artist in an alley
A local weird lady getting a hair wrap. She is one of the funniest looking people ever casue shes so ugly
Later that night we went back to the hotel we were staying in and then we decided to go out for one last dinner before we got home the next day.
Meghan wearing here new $35 coat and just as expensive shirt that she got at a store in quebec city
These are cherry stems meghan tied in knots with her tounge. I think the only other people who can do that are hmmm...I think that would be strippers :P lol jks meghan
Meghan seemed to be very hungry
Meghan had gotten her dinner last and so we were a little bored just sitting there and we decided to take some pictures
When we were done dinner we headed back to our Delta Hotel. We went swimming and then with our final day on vacation at an end we headed to bed and awited home the next day.
I dont know exactly what this means but at a glance it seemed pretty funny too me
The next day we headed into the car after another morning of me having to wake everyone else up although this wakeup call was considerably louder then in the other hotel. Shannon decided that we should lissen to Pokemon and we were so bored we said well why not :P
HAPPY...I'm HAPPY! lmfao
When we drove into a familular area of Toronto I was so happy to be home. I was so glad to see the C.N tower again and we swung by and picked up Rags and Ellie.
Well that concludes our trip to Halifax Nova Scotia. I know it was totaly awesome and your really jelous but don't worry you don't deserve a trip like that and we did so don't lie to yourself. Bye for now:)
