We took a few day trips off the campsite while in Nova Scotia. The third day there is was supposed to rain, so we decided that it would be better to do some site seeing in the rain rather than sit in the tent and stare at each other.
We drove to Halifax and enjoyed a nice lunch down by the harbor. It is a pretty happening place as this is near where all the cruise ships come in. They had a great playground with a huge whale the kids could climb up and slide down.
After lunch it was off to Peggy's Cove. It's a cute little fishing town with a famous lighthouse.
There were so many rocks to walk amongst. It was a little treacherous with the twins at times.
We got back to the campsite only to find rain. Apparently it rained all day there (it never actually rained in Halifax or Peggy's Cove) I abandoned the idea of cooking in the rain and we went out for pizza.
That night it poured....and I mean torrential downpour. From about 11 pm to 6 am. The winds picked up after midnight, and apparently reached 55 mph. It was crazy. The tent was staked and anchored in the ground, but the sides of the tent were bending in on us and shaking all night long. The kids slept through the whole thing. So did Felix except for the times I was so freaked out, I woke him up. I myself slept maybe two hours. In the morning, our tent was dry and intact. Many people lost the tops to their tents and a lot of people were drying out their tents the next morning. A big fan of Coleman camping equipment now!
