We&#8217;ve been to <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/category\/away-we-go\/ottawa-bar-harbor-2007\/\">Bar Harbor<\/a> in Maine and <a href=\"http:\/\/danigirl.ca\/blog\/?s=%22sketches+of+quebec+city%22\">Quebec City<\/a>, but we&#8217;ve always wanted to go to Nova Scotia and have started talking about driving out there this summer.  Three little kids in the car for four or five solid days of driving?  Who wouldn&#8217;t want to do that?  *wink*<\/p>\n<p>I know some of you either have done a similar trip, live out there now or have lived there in the past, so I&#8217;m crowdsourcing your thoughts and opinions.  I&#8217;m not even completely married to the idea of NS, if you think I should stop in New Brunswick or head over to PEI instead.  I&#8217;d *really* like to visit Newfoundland, but I&#8217;m worried that the drive to Nova Scotia might be on the outer reaches of too far, let alone all the way up to the Rock.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m leaning toward Lunenburg, simply because someone suggested it to me and from what I&#8217;ve read it sounds lovely.  Ideally, we&#8217;d find a seaside cottage big enough to accommodate all five of us with kid-friendly amenities.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lunenburgcottages.com\/ratespage.html\">This <\/a>looks like a good choice, for example, although I&#8217;m a little concerned about the size.<\/p>\n<p>So tell me &#8212; what must we see in the Maritimes?  What should we avoid?  And, for those of you who travel regularly between Ontario and Nova Scotia, could you suggest a good place to break the trip into two manageable days?  16 hours of driving is out of the question right now, but eight hours times two days is feasible if we can find something fun to do along the way.  I&#8217;m even open to making the trip out in three days, if we can find things worth seeing and doing on the way out there.  <\/p>\n<p>Any advice, insight or tips would be greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey bloggy peeps, talk to me about Nova Scotia.
