Peggy’s Cove and Jellystone Park

Our first stop in Nova Scotia was at Wayside Campground in Glen Margaret, NS which was only a ten minute drive from Peggy’s Cove lighthouse.  We were only at this park for two nights.  Our shortest stop yet.

Eric has been getting good at setting up the camera with the 10 second timer, and then running to make it into the picture.  Sometimes, he doesn’t quite make it.

  We drove out to see Peggy’s Cove that first afternoon that we were there but ended up stopping at a really beautiful rocky hill across from the lighthouse.  We climbed all over the rocks for a long time until our bellies told us it was time to find some supper.  We ended up eating at the restaurant right at the Peggy’s Cove lighthouse lookout and after supper we sat on the rocks and watched the sunset across the water.

  The next day we took a scenic drive around another part of Nova Scotia. Eventually we ended up back at the big white rocks across from Peggy’s Cove because we had had so much fun climbing on them the day before.     Our next stop was in Kingston, NS at Jellystone Park campground.  The main reason we stayed at this park was because it looked like a lot of fun for the kids.  They had a really nice pool, a bouncy pad, mini-putt, and lots of playground equipment to play on.  Normally they also have lots of planned activities for the kids to be a part of, but since it was back to school time there weren’t any activities going on.  We started our homeschooling while we were here, so the kids were busy most of the day anyway.

  We didn’t do much exploring while we were here, although we did head to the coast and found a dock that the kids fished off of.  Emma and Ada both caught a weird looking fish called a Scalpin (?.
