Completed: August 21, 2020 This is a continuation to last week's blog as the 2017 trip made for a long post. Here I'll share about the other two. 2018 High-tide at Burntcoat Our next trip was for just as long and just as busy. We had our vacation booked for August 9 to August 19 in 2018. Mom and I visited some places we already had but we also travelled to some new areas of Nova Scotia. In 2017, we went to Burntcoat Head at low tide so for this trip we wanted to go back but

Exploring my own province (pt. 1)
Completed: August 21, 2020 This is really something that is ongoing but I spent three summer vacations concentrating on exploring as much of my province as I could so I am saying this item is complete. I have wanted to explore my own province for a while and in 2017, we finally dedicated time to doing it. I had done some travelling around Nova Scotia as my grandparents live in Annapolis Royal and New Minas and I played Ringette growing up so I was pretty familiar with the Ha

Check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Completed: December 4, 2018 In 2001, the first Harry Potter movie was coming out in theatres and as a class project we read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone book. We even got sorted into houses; I got put in Slytherin. Ever since then I have enjoyed the Harry Potter series and have read all 7 books at least 3 times and have all the movies as well. So when I heard that Universal was making a land based around the JK Rowling series at their Florida location, I knew I ha

Have fun at a Disney park
Completed: December 3, 2018 After the hockey wishes and becoming a sister, the next thing I put on my bucket list was to have fun at Walt Disney World which looking back I really did. I keep thinking about it. I grew up watching Disney movies and the Disney channel, I loved the Toy Story films and when I found out that they were going to have a Toy Story Land I knew I had to go. My cousin Kiersten agreed to go with me and after some planning we had booked our flights in April

See Sidney Crosby play live
Completed: November 1, 2017 After watching the 2007 Stanley Cup finals, I have been paying attention to the sport a lot more and since then I have wanted to see the greatest player of my generation play live. Sidney Crosby, who was born and raised in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, was projected to be the next Wayne Gretzky when he was still in minor hockey. Crosby has been my favourite player since I started watching him with the Pittsburgh Penguins. I love travelling and decide

Watch a Toronto Maple Leafs game with my dad
Completed: February 21, 2012 I thought I would start with this one since it happened exactly 7 years ago today. This was the first thing ever to be on my bucket list (after becoming a sister). I have been a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs since I was a little girl as my dad got me into cheering for them at a young age and I had always wanted to see them play live. It finally happened in 2012. I've been on a few trips but I had never been this excited for a vacation, I couldn't
