3 Travel Secrets: Unforgettable Moments in Nova Scotia






We took the family to Nova Scotia in July. Little did I know then how much these scenes would stay with me, even several months later. For our trip we landed in Halifax and drove up and around Cape Breton Island.

Cate at Caffinated Traveler tagged me the other day in a game of Blog Tag, initiated by Katie at Tripbase. Here are my 3 travel secrets to share, all focused on Nova Scotia:

1) Nova Scotia is breathtaking, uncrowded, friendly, and well suited for family travel. Consider putting it on your travel destination wish list!

2) Linger at the Glenora Inn and nearby regions of Mabou. It's magical there - the beaches, the nature walks, and the forests.

3) Drive the Cabot Trail, one of the most scenic drives in North America.

Thanks Cate & Katie for such a fun idea of "cyber tag", and to the folks at @authenticcoast for representing this best kept secret.

OK, who can I tag next? Watch out, here I come!

It is amazing how such a (relatively) small place has so many beautiful places. We didn't make it to Mabou on our last trip. We are driving up next time so it will be an easy stop.

That first picture makes me feel the grass swaying, so peaceful. Tips duly noted, am putting it on our travel list.
