Made it to Halifax

Well, we're finally in Halifax after 2 days of driving. On Friday we left at 9am and drove pretty much through the whole night. We covered 1,500 km on our first day. It really, really hurt by 3am. The kids were so awesome about the whole thing!



After sleeping in the Jeep for 3 hours at a gas station just inside the New Brunswick border we drove to Magnetic Hill. It is the oddest of all places. For some reason when you put your car in neutral it seems to roll up hill. Pretty cool, but not $20 cool or what ever they charge. I remember going there as a kid for free. There was nothing there. But now there is a whole theme park! Strange. But at least it's giving some kids summer jobs.

And finally we arrived in Nova Scotia! We were giddy, likely from lack of sleep, but getting to the border really made the whole trip feel worth it. It's our start, our place to begin this crazy journey.



We've spent a great evening with family, a lovely bar-b-que and walk by the ocean. My family here on the coast is awesome, so we love to see them when we can. We're on a schedule so we can't see as much of them as we'd like, but better than nothing.

How good can a shower feel? I'll tell you, like heaven! Sleeping on the side of the road and driving 2,000 km really makes you feel like of grody. And we did some laundry here too. Yippee! We're clean and so are our duds!

Tomorrow we get up early and head into Halifax. A lovely day on the Harbour Hopper, Theodore Tugboat, and an evening at the Westin hotel. We can hardly wait.

An episode should be out early next week. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
