If you haven't already seen on instagram, this past weekend my family was in town!!!! I decided about two minutes before they picked me up, that I was going to bring my camera with me for the whole trip. Something I have not done in way too long. Normally I use my camera for work and my phone for my own photos. So this is a little treat and reminds me of when I fell in love with taking photos for fun.
Anyways! We started the weekend off with a much needed drink, like a typical Beckwith does ;)
We ate at the Loose Cannon on Argyle street, the food was good and the service was bad!
Next we headed for a quick visit to the Halifax Central Library. One of my favourite locations in Halifax, it's so beautiful, modern, with all the natural light in the world!!!! If you're in the area and haven't checked it out yet, DO IT.
Our second Nova Scotia spot we hit was Wolfville. I spent some time visiting my best friends there this year at Acadia and really wanted to show off this small little town to these guys. Wolfville is so cute, all the little shops and cafes is definitely worth a drive by.
A place called Evangeline Cafe was recommended to me by a friend, they highly recommended their milkshakes, so that's exactly what we got. Except for Melissa, she needed some wine.. But we won't hold that against her ;)
After Wolfville we headed back to Hali and down to the boardwalk for some pizza and fireworks. A little Canada day for delay fireworks!
Saturday morning we headed to Annie's Place Cafe on Queen Street for some morning coffee and breakfast. We had a seat outside and it was so hot and sunny! Food was good and so was the service!
Peggy's Cove was the next destination of our adventure. My fam has never been there before so it was really fun to see their first reaction to this beautiful place. I was in a dress and sandals, not the best for hiking over rocks, my advice; wear sneakers. I could have spent all day there... the six year old, not so much..
After Peggy's we hit Lunenburg! This was my first time in Lunenburg and it is absolutely beautiful! I love anything to do with the ocean, especially these little ocean towns. All the buildings were so brightly colored and we stopped in to so many little shops and galleries. We ate at Yelp's number one choice, Magnolia's Grill and it was AMAZING. Seriously, so good. We all couldn't stop talking about how good our meals were. And, the service was good!
We stayed at the cutest little mini cottage type hotel in Lunenburg called, Atlantic View. It was so quaint and cute, right on the water with so many animals!! Me and Jameson were in our glory surrounded by the ocean and dogs!, bunnies, cats, puppies, frogs ...
Our last spot was Mahone Bay! We drove through and it was so pretty, I neeeeeeeed to spend more time there before I take off. We ate breakfast at the Happy Cooker and it was good! Food was good and the service was good!!
I hope I helped a little bit if any of you are planning on visiting any of these places in Nova Scotia! I'm no expert but I do love exploring beautiful places xx
