The Trip Continues...

Two weeks in Nova Scotia down. E is now with me, and we're off to see her family in Ontario for a week. A hectic two weeks of adventure here in NS, time for a lil RnR at Lake Simcoe for a bit! I'll fill everyone in on everything once I make it back to the wild wild west. So long for now!

On The Road Again. Nova Scotia bound!

Once again, I'm travelling. I'm starting to like this whole summers off thing....y'know, not having to work a part time job forty hours a week. Complete freedom. I'm heading home to Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I'm hoping to travel home twice a year, once at Christmas, once during the summer. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to keep doing that, but I'll try.


I have lots of things planned for this trip and have lots of spare time to do other unexpected things. On the agenda is:
Family (obvi).
Play lots of soccer. Play on my old competitive team, go to their practices, play with the summer pickup soccer society through STFX university.
Watch lots of soccer. Can't wait to watch my younger sister play, as well as a couple other teams that have players I coached in the past.
Eat Wheel pizza....anyone familiar with Antigonish knows this spot.


Go to the Halifax casino with C Mac.
Eat Boyd's seafood.....mmm....fish and chips, best spot to get it!
Spend lots of time at 'The Rocks'. A spot cemented in my childhood. Located at Cribbons beach, I would spend my summer there with family and friends snorkeling, swimming and jumping off huge rock formations into the ocean (video below).
Have a beach party/bonfire with some quality individuals in my life.
Play ultimate frisbee...can't wait to play some pickup ultimate frisbee with the STFX summer society
Do geocaching....and lots of it!
Make geocaches...in particular an underwater one at The Rocks.
Go to wing night at the Pub.
Watch lots of Olympics, go Canada go!
Stay in shape.
Do some canoeing/kayaking in the area. In particular, would love to do some out by The Rocks, as well as in Gasperaux Lake, which is my home out in the county.
Test out my brother's new four-wheeler.
Watch UFC 150, Ben Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar II, preferably at a BP.
See some old staff at SuperStore.
Play some Settlers of Catan with folks.
Go for a round of golf with some family...would love to play one of the beautiful courses on Cape Breton Island.
Catch up with people I haven't seen in a while.
Have fun, enjoy myself, and live the two weeks to the fullest!


As mentioned before, here is a video of me and my cousins when we were younger fooling around on 'The Rocks'. Now you have an idea of why we spent our whole summers here and the kind of joy it brought us. This was back in early teens, hence the bad video quality. Enjoy!
