For more than a year, our grandiose plan was to spend Canada 150 in our capital. We found out a few days prior to July 1st that we were unable to go through with our plans. Disappointment couldn't begin to describe how we all felt collectively...
The East Coast trip more than made up for it! Now we have our own Canada 150 moments!
Parts of our country are what songs describe as "moving pictures", and we were fortunate to see so many of those! Even a simple drive was sublime - sometimes there were never ending fields on both sides of the road and other times, the roads were lined with picturesque trees; and some other times, we were graced with water of all shades of blue wherever we looked.
I will especially remember the red mud/sand of Fundy and the rocks of Peggy's Cove. None (hu)man made; all gifts of nature!
Recently, Coca Cola released a commercial to commemorate Canada 150. The commercial is a personal favourite of the boys and mine, and it ends at Peggy's Cove. So going there was also a sweet shared experience and hopefully a memorable one for the boys.
So glad we took the time to do this and so glad my brother joined us. He mapped out the trip and booked all the hotels. I really felt like I was on vacation. I had nothing to worry about. All I had to do was enjoy all that our country has to offer, and I did!
Thank you Canada! Wish you stay this way forever!
