Titanic!

We've got the leaving-Nova-Scotia routine down to a science. Our flight always leaves at some ridiculously early hour, so we drive into Halifax the day before, have dinner with Uncle Kenny and Eric, and then spend the night in a hotel by the airport.

Before we leave for Halifax, we try to squeeze in one last boat ride (No, this isn't the Titanic here...that comes later.):
We do a bit of posing:
Then we hit the road.

Today, though, we had a new pre-dinner destination. We headed to the Maritime Museum to feed Trevi's latest obsession, the Titanic. It was a super cool exhibit, which I remember visiting years ago, before the kids were around. We got to see an actual lounge chair that was on the Titanic.
And we got to test out a reproduction. Clara made herself at home.
Trev was fascinated by the model of the lifeboats.
And, the piece de resistance.....a scale model of the Titanic herself.
Nana treated us to some goodies in the gift shop, and then we were off to Kenny's gourmet kitchen, where, unfortunately, my camera never made it out of my purse.

It was quite an adventurous ride to the airport after dinner. A sudden, torrential downpour flooded the street, and zero visibility forced us to stop in a parking lot for a few minutes, but we made it to the hotel eventually.

Uncle Bryan, the kids and I said goodbye to Nana and Papa, and then hunkered down for the night. Another lovely trip comes to an end...
