Favorite Vacation Moment

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Outside Visitor Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia

My family and I embarked on a 9,800 mile adventure across Canada in 2008. We saw both oceans in that trip and had more adventures than I can recount. You can see episodes of our travels at www.havefunoutthere.ca

When we began our trip in Nova Scotia, in Canada, I was moved by just how happy the entire family was to be spending 5 weeks together. We were about to embark on the mother of all road trips and as we stood in front of the visitor center sign it struck us that our regular lives were going to be on hold and we were going to be seeing and experiencing things we'd never done before. And we were going to be doing it as a family.

This is my favourite vacation moment, because so many other ones were to follow. Our 5 week trip across Canada brought us together, tightening our weave as a family.

That trip inspired us to have more adventures with our family and we are looking forward to the summer of 2009 as we begin planning more family road trips. No DVD players, no work calls to distract us, just a family of 4 and untold adventures to come.
