  • Submarine in the harbour

    Submarine in the harbour

    The weather was rainy and dreary today in Halifax but we had a good time with friends. We also caught a submarine going through Halifax Harbour. I’ve not ever seen that before

  • Snow Angel

    Snow Angel

    We had a weekend full of snow and wind. Everything was canceled Saturday, Sunday, and even school today. This afternoon ended up a bit nicer so me and the youngest were able to get out and play for a bit. He made a great snow angel.

  • Lady Liberty

    Lady Liberty

    As we were heading on to our next stop of our road trip vacation we stopped into Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. It’s a really nice, and at least while we were there today, quiet spot. It gives a view of NYC and the Statue of Liberty from a different angle. In the…

  • Spiral up the tower

    Spiral up the tower

    I’ve shared a picture of the Memorial Tower in Sir Sandford Fleming park (Dingle Park) before, but yesterday I was able to go inside for the first time. It’s pretty cool with three sections of stairs to get to the top. Starting out with a spiral stair case in the middle, followed by straight stairs…

  • Public Garden Gates

    With a little time to waste I thought I’d be able to go for a little walk through the Public Gardens tonight. I forgot they close just before dusk and ended up missing the opportunity. The entrance gates are nice, but still would have preferred to be inside.

  • Sir Sandford Fleming (Dingle) Tower

    We came to hang out in Sir Sandford Fleming park, also known as The Dingle, for a while today. It is a park donated to Halifax by Fleming. He invented Standard time zones. My youngest calls this tower a castle and he wanted to come see it again. He knew we were coming and so…

  • Shipping yard cranes

    Had some time by myself today and was walking through Point Pleasant Park in Halifax. The container cranes were standing tall over the harbour with a sail boat going by and an airplane in the sky behind.

  • Nubble Lighthouse

    We arrived home yesterday after a long weekend family road trip. We drove Boston and back. With two adults, three teenagers, a three year old, and our 70 lb dog, we tried to break up the drive with little stops. One stop was at Nubble lighthouse in York Maine. The temperatures weren’t overly warm, but…

  • Public gardens

    One of the downfalls of working in a distributed company is not getting to hang out with the cool people you work with nearly enough. So when a close co-worker ends up in our area for a long weekend I was glad we were able to spend some time together. I hadn’t seen her in…

  • Canadian winter stereotype

    Maybe it’s fading memory but I feel like I don’t see this scene as much as I did when I was younger. It felt like if there was a frozen over body of water people were skating on it. Likely climate change is playing a part. Winters don’t seem to have sustained cold like we…
