Back in April we took a trip to Sydney, on Cape Breton island, Nova Scotia. Where much of Crystal’s family live. We drove down there, a good 7+ hour journey, Avie was, as usual, the perfect little traveller and made little fuss on the long drive. We stayed with Melanie, Crystal’s cousin. Melanie’s youngest, Alex, had not long since turned 1, when we were down and he was running around all over the place. It was fun to see a toddler and imagine what Avie will be like at that age. Avie was mesmerised by him! She was also mesmerised by the hockey that weekend, as we watched the crucial NHL game between the New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils. The Islanders won, meaning that The Toronto Maple Leafs missed out on a playoff spot! Avie was not impressed after sitting watching 2 whole periods.

It was quite a while ago now that we were down there but one of the things I remember most was the drive through beer store! Yes, that’s right drive through alcohol…

Just drive up…

Pick out your poison…

Then, Pick it up at the window and drive away! Hahaha I thought it was so funny, I’ve never seen anything like that before. Only in Cape Breton eh?

While we were there too we got some photos taken of Avie and her second cousins, Alex and Becca. Here is the pic of Avie looking cute as ever.

It was a good trip, and since then we have been down there again, but more about that in a later post.
