Just like in the past: 2006-10-21:Cabot Trail (1190km) 2007-09-01:Cabot Trail (1300km) 2010-08-06:Cabot Trail (1200km) 2011-07-22: Cabot Trail (1412 km) I’m getting ready to head out on another annual motorcycle trip around the Cabot Trail. This year I’m traveling lighter than before, taking my smaller Givi hard bags. In some trips in the past we have […]
Just a quick photo posting of last weekends trip to the Valley.
We had a lovely day today with two other families, the Cornick’s and the Alpert’s, at the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park. The park was pretty busy and the animals were active and visible in most of the displays. As usual it is a great place to take the kids and let them stretch their legs while […]
Just a few photos from the Easter weekend in the valley. I think this was the first holiday/event that Gabriel was really clued in for. Throughout the weekend we would have him find an egg or a chocolate. He was really enjoying himself.
Today seven of us headed out to the Sugar Moon Maple Syrup Farm and Pancake house. The farm has 2500 taps on about 35 acres, and lots of people who want to eat pancakes. Something that I had never seen before, but makes a lot of sense, the farm collects sap with a “gravity-fed pipeline […]
On Tuesday & Wednesday of this past week, we took turns venturing to Tortuga Island on a Calypso Cruise. The day started off with a 6:50a.m. pick-up at out bungalow and a drive to Puntarenas a port town an hour and half north of Jaco. Puntarenas (Pointsands, from “punta arenas”, or “sand point” in Spanish) […]
We drove to the Manual Antonio National Park (Google Maps Link / Wikipedia Article). According to wikipedia, established in 1972 with an area enumerating 4,014 acres (16.24 km2) (the smallest of any Costa Rican national park), it is the destination of as many as 150,000 visitors annually and well-known for its beautiful beaches and hiking […]
Today and Yesterday were lovely lazy days. We spent time walking on the beach and also swimming in the pool. We visited the Backyard Bar, where we had $1.75 USD local beers and a huge plate of chips and vegs (sort of nacho’s with more vegetables) which was $8.00.
This is our house, which is being lit by some LED lights I purchased off eBay. One annoying thing about the LED lights I purchased is that they by default switch into the rapid colour changing mode when you turn them on, which is a shame because I have my outdoor sockets on inside light […]
Some photos from a day at the Discovery Centre. It has been many many years since I looked at the Discovery Centre and was it ever fun. Both Brittany and I said commented that it would be fun to go there even without the kids just to play with the interesting setups they have.
A selection of Point Pleasant Park Panoramas taken with my Nikon AW100’s guided panorama mode which makes it dead easy to take these shots. The quality isn’t as good as taking individual photos and stitching them together, but there is a great deal of satisfaction in having it already done for you on the camera.
Also known as The Great Alarm Clock and Gabriel’s Meal Cleanup Team Lead.
A shot taken with my new Nikon AW100 of Oliver while he was in Brittany’s arms. When I went to Henry’s to check out their waterproof camera’s the sales person actually showed me that the AW100 can take a picture of a photo laying flat on a piece of paper if the paper is backlit […]
I thought I would write this post because I am somewhat proud of how my new side entrance deck lighting has turned out. I had originally purchased LED rope lights at 50% off from Canadian tire because I had wanted to run it along our inside stairs to provide a very low cost stair lighting. […]
