The second Saturday of our vacation saw us leaving PEI and driving directly to Dartmouth, NS which is where my brother Sean and his family are living. They've been there for a few years now and we had yet to visit them (and if you think that's bad - we've been in Ottawa for 9 years now and they haven't come to visit us either) so we took advantage of the fact that we were only 3.5 hours away with no set plans in place. Rather than drive back to Fredericton after our week in PEI, we turned left instead and headed to Halifax. Unfortunately our stay was VERY short, with us arriving at around 1500 on Saturday afternoon and leaving around 1130 on Sunday. In that time though we got to see their house, wander around the Halifax harbour with Liam (he even got to see Theodore Tugboat), grab a bite to eat at Jack Astors and just hang out. Sean and I even fit in a short 45 km ride on Sunday morning before we hit the road for the drive home. It was really great to get the opportunity to visit, and I hope we can do it again sooner rather than later. Actually, I'm still trying to convince them that Ottawa would be a great place for them to move to. :)
