Friday found us on the road again with Peg's sister and brother-in-law, Jan and Dave, their daughter and her husband and son (Jessie, Tim and Allen) and Tim's Mother and Father (Lorraine and Sonny). We took two cars and headed up to Kejimkujik National Park, about an hour from our campground in Lunenburg. We were looking for fall colors and to commune with nature a bit.
We brought a picnic lunch and ate at the beginning of one of the trails leading to small waterfalls and a creek with trees turning into their fall
colors. We hiked along the creek and over a floating bridge. The trail headed up a hill and around some of the park for about 2 kilometers so we decided to reverse our tracks and come back to the parking area and take the cars to another location called Jakes Landing, where they had canoe rentals.
Walking on trails or a nice canoe ride......Decisons, decisions. I pick the canoe ride!! We rented four canoes and headed up river to look for some turtles that were supposed to be sunning themselves. We never did find those darn turtles! So we turned around and headed back to the landing. We did get some nice shots of fall tree colors along the riverside though.
That night we ended up back in Liverpool for diner at Lanes Restaurant and Inn. It was a rustic kind of place and, since this weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada, we all (almost all) had turkey with all the fixins. It was a nice ending to a beautiful day with temperatures in the mid 70's, very unusual for this time of year!

We really enjoyed this trip, and the day at the park was pretty near perfect. The chance to stretch our legs and arms at the park was a great change of pace.
Those small, picturesque Nova Scotia towns with their boats and colorful buildings were so beautiful. Jessie is hard at work to get our scrapbook done before our Thanksgiving trip to Minnesota.
