Sunny Sunday Cruise

Ok... I'm a bit late posting this but better late than never.. Saturday just gone (August 16th) it poured and rained a gale.. sooo depressing. Well my kids (who are all married with kids of their own decided to come for a visit and family supper.. they figured since it's raining Mom & Dad will surely be home.. LOL .. We had a lovely day and evening together .. I really enjoyed it and it was a great way to spend a rainy Saturday.
Then.. Sunday morning rolled around and with it came the Sun.. wooohooo .. what a great day!

Me and 'the old guy' decided to go for a ride..down the South Shore of Nova Scotia.. we rode beside the Atlantic Ocean and it kept us cool on a hot day. Stopped in Chester for a coffee at Tim Hortons and had a chat with some fellow riders.. then on to Mahone Bay. That's a very scenic little town with colorful homes and shops.. fishing shantys and restaurants..

Mahone Bay was 'crawling' with tourists.. mostly on foot.. checking out all the little nooks and crannies. We stopped by the water for a stretch and took a few pics then were rolling again ... on to Bridgewater. After a quick stop, stretch and bathroom break there and of course a chat with more fellow bikers.. we decided to go around the peninsula, along the water through Lahave and Lunenburg and came back to Mahone Bay from the other side.

We came upon Zwickers Woodworking in the LaHave area..
guess what he makes ? :O)

After one last stop and chat in Mahone Bay we headed back towards home... although it was such a beautiful day, I felt like I could ride forever.. I knew there was work tomorrow and things to do at home. We did stop for some homemade fish n chips at Fredies Fantastic Fish House in Tantallon.. they serve some of the best fish around these parts.
After almost 300 kms we arrived home tired and happy.. sat out in the garage wiping down the bikes and having a cold brew.. Life is indeed Good !! Tomorrow nite is ladies nite on the bikes.. looking forward to that :o)
