August 2, 2015. Western Head, N.S. An Excursion.

We four took an excursion today.  The day was glorious so we decided to drive along the shore, a trip we have taken many times before but have never driven this summer.  Our ventures away from the house this season have been limited.  Last year we also stayed close to home because I had little energy, so today, with Don driving, we headed out right after brunch.   Our plan was to limit our journey but still enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the river.  And of course, not get too tired.

We drove the shore route through Brooklyn and Eagles Head, through Voglers Cove and Petite Riviere.   The journey took us along the LeHave River,  across the river on the little ferry and finally for lunch in Bridgewater, at the Wave Seafood restaurant.  The drive was lovely.  The sunshine was bright and the sky was blue and all the houses looked beautiful.  And flowers were everywhere.  Today, everything seemed to sparkle.

After lunch we drove to Port Medway to the local store and cafe where we ate ice cream.   We ate by the light house, sitting in the full sun.  The cool breeze made us comfortable.   Our arrival home at 3:45 still meant some of us were able to have a short nap.   When you don't take many excisions, the few you take are extra special.   Today was special.
