Another Saturday Drive

Saturday morning we decided to go for another drive since we had such a nice time last weekend. We chose to head up to Victoria Park in Truro....actually we were looking at something to do with the Bay of Fundy, then noted that Truro is on the edge or end of the Bay or a part of it or something so that's what led us there. Then some surfing the web led me to find Victoria Park.

We loaded the doggie and the extra baggies and water into the car, stopped at our new favorite restaurant The Armview for a cheap but yummy breakfast (seriously.... $5.70 for my breakfast...2 eggs, bacon, toast, hashbrowns and coffee...score! plus patio seating!) and then hit the highway. It's about an hour's drive to Truro....and the gastank light came on about 1/3 of the way there....and even though I know that my car can go a LONG way once the light comes on I was starting to get nervous....but we didn't want to pull off the highway so we just went for it. Of course, it was fine.

Got to Truro, but didn't have a map, so just drove around until we found the signs for Victoria Park. What a gem!! This huge, beautiful, sunny, green and lush park. Mojo isn't so great for walking with crowds of people so we opted to stick to the lower main trails and didn't get to go off the beaten track....but it was still a lovely walk. I'd like to see it in the fall or spring when the waterfalls are really flowing. Afterwards we got drinks (cherry slushie for me!) and sat on the grass watching the funny band play.


Don't ask why I'm carrying my purse...we had already started down the path when I realized I had it and I didn't feel like going back to put it in the trunk.



On our way out of town we stopped at the viewpoint for one of the Tidal Bores on the Bay of Fundy. If I remember correctly a tidal bore is when the water is flowing out of the canal but being pushed back in by the ocean tide, creating a crazy whirlpool tidal effect. Mostly it just looked like muddy red water due to the massive amount of clay, etc. Still quite pretty though.


Then home we came to relax for a bit, then out to dinner with some friends. Followed that up with another quiet night in with wine and some Trivial Pursuit. I was poopered from all that sun!
