We are back from our "mini break" in the
Annapolis Valley. We had a truly wonderful time. We were only there for two days, but each day was glorious and sunny - which is pretty special in a summer that's been 90% rain so far! We went back to the same cottage we've stayed in for the past three years - it's a cute little place right on Evangeline Beach with views of Cape Split in the background. The little fellow above is an
Inukshuk made by some previous tenants.
We visited many of our old Valley haunts, including the
Port Pub (twice!), the
farmer's market and some new favorites - a photo above is from the
Gaspereau Vineyards, where we did a fun tour. We also went blueberry picking, but only lasted about 15 minutes in the hot sun - farmers we ain't. The blueberries were tasty and plentiful though, and we managed to pick quite a few in that time.
Evenings were spent walking along the beach and cooking dinners made from our farmer's market bounty. The
Bay of Fundy has amazing tides - in the afternoon the water came right up to the edge of the backyard but by early evening it had receded so far we could walk along the mud flats.
When the sun set, we had a fire in the backyard chiminea and played crazy eights. My idea of a perfect mini break. We are thinking of staying for a whole week next year.

I feel like a just took a mini break with you- thanks for the interesting photo of the Inukshuk.
"The Boys" are all right (not really, but it had been sooooo long that I forgot how much they made me laugh, knowwatimsayin'?)
That looks like a fabulous weekend - so nice the weather is finally cooperating! I went to the Port Pub for the first time in June with some friends who live in Wolfville, and I loved it. I'm pretty jealous that it's not just up the street from *my* house. ;) Hope you're having a good summer!
