Last weekend was a blast. We had so much fun. We were a little late leaving Moncton, but we still made it there in time for the movie. (Yay Spiderman 3!). After the movie Saturday, we went to dinner with Heidi and Steve, which was nice. Saturday night Steve was nice enough to let us stay at his condo (thanks Steve!). Sunday Heidi and Steve went to church, and Rob and I went into downtown Halifax. We got there at about 11, so the stores weren't open yet, so we just drove around for an hour. Halifax has some beautiful historic houses. I took a lot of photos...and I haven't even downloaded them from the camera yet. So, we then went to Garrison Breweries (of course), as that is Rob & Brian's favorite place, and we had to fill their growlers. We also hit 2 other breweries in town, including Propeller, who also bottles soda pop. I'm not crazy over their rootbeer, but their chocolate soda is kind of neat.
After that, we went to Loomins & Toles. I adore L&T, and ours in Moncton closed a few years ago, so I love to visit it whenever I go to Halifax. We were in there forever. Rob's so good like that; he gets excited about things that I like. He was going through the store just ahead of me, and he kept saying "Jenn, look at this! It's so awesome, I know you'll love it!". He even helped me pick out some awesome beads and handmade papers. My Bert is the Best! Heidi and Steve met up with us at L&T, and we all went to Cora's for brunch (there was cantalope), and of course it was fantastic. We spent the rest of the day wandering around the city.
I really enjoyed the trip. I really like Halifax. I've said it about St John's, and Halifax is the same, unlike Moncton, they both have so much culture and heritage. There's art galleries, theatres and shops everywhere. We think we wouldn't mind living there.
