My Family's Visit
The first day to relax, no more driving. Of coarse i was sleeping in the car so I was up and ready to go see everything. My parents were so tired from switching from drive to the navigator they didn't want to do much. I reminded them were only book for a certain amount of time here and there was so much to do. My parents and I finally all agreed that we would get a private boat and got up the Harbour for the day. I agreed because it I loved relaxing on a boat (and i needed to work on my tan). The boat was really relaxing just like I expected but I didn't get much of a tan because it was a little chilly on the water so I had to put a sweater on. Before we came to Halifax I was looking a website where people recommend you should go some we took 1 persons advice, took out car and went for a drive through Annapolis Valley. Also I read there was a cheese place in Halifax, I forced my parents to take me there. We didn't do much more, of course we had o go shopping and we looked around and got pictures.
