We have arrived! - Day Three

Sunday we slept in a bit, then set out to run some errands. We settled on Jack Astor's for lunch because neither of us had ever been there, but now we know why. Nothing exciting and I doubt we'll go back on purpose.

I should point out that the weather has been quite mild. I have not needed my coat yet...just my warm LuluLemon hoodie and a scarf. Nice!!

Oh, and I did remember to take pictures from our hotel window before we went out....it wasn't as sunny, but you'll see how cool it is. There were even kids sledding down the hill across the lake and you can see where people have scraped off areas for skating. I haven't seen a frozen lake since I was 6 years old in Fort St. John!!

We wandered through Costco to check out snow tires and to see if there was anything fun we might need for our new house. We made a quick stop at Future Shop to ogle our new TV and make sure we hadn't missed out on any price drops over the holidays. We talked to the guy about maybe getting a Playstation 3 because we are thinking of getting a Blu-Ray player anyway and for about $100 more you can get the game system which plays Blu-Ray anyway. DBF wants a force feedback steering wheel for racing games though so we have to see if PS3 has one of those before we commit.

After picking up a few groceries to get me through breakfasts and lunches this week, we grabbed the obligatory Starbucks bevvies then set out towards the Dockyards so DBF could see how long the drive was and where he might find parking for work. (Side story: you have to be a member for 15 years to get a parking spot on base!! everyone else has to park randomly wherever they can find it...mostly like 20-30 minutes walk away!) He decided to just take the $10 cab ride for his first day instead.

In the evening, we headed back over to Dartmouth to visit with Mark (Cosette was at work). We learned another new thing about here though....gotta watch for 2 for 1 pizza places. We just assumed all places were 2 for 1, and when we ordered from Pizza Delight (which wasn't even very good pizza) it cost $50!!

On our way back to Halifax we missed a turn, but after a few rights and an extra left we found our way back to the bridge. :)
