Before we got married, Mark and I took a long road trip.   Long trip being traveling over 14 000 miles over three months in a suburban with almost no budget and no set plan.   Side note: If ever you want to ''test'' a relationship go on a 14 000 mile road trip together, over a period of three months, in a suburban with almost no budget and no set plan.

Fresh seafood, strong drinks and panoramic waterfront views.   Sounds good doesn't it?...

Phew!   Last night we came home after spending 2 weeks in my home town of Pointe-de-l'Église, Nouvelle-Écosse, Canada.   We had a wonderful time, filled with fun and sometimes bizarre happenings, which will be the subject of many posts to come.   This year, we hadn't planned on making our yearly trip, but the smell of the salty air and fries drenched in cheese and gravy...aka poutine, were somehow making their way down south urging me to buckle up and hit the road...
