Camping at "The Ovens"

Last week we were on VACATION! We stayed at home for part of the week to run errands, do house stuff, etc. On Wednesday, we drove to Riverport Nova Scotia (Lunenburg Co.) to camp at “The Ovens” for three nights (http://www.ovenspark.com/). Back in 1980 my family camped there - I don't remember much about the campground itself, but I remember walking the trail and exploring the caves. I love the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the beach.

On Wednesday, we arrived in the late afternoon. After setting up camp, we drove into Lunenburg for a few necessities (i.e., soda pops). We *attempted* to make a fire that night - we needed Dan there to get the fire going! On Thursday, it rained. And rained. And rained. We vegged and read. And vegged. And read. Finally, around mid afternoon, we were able to leave the tent without floating away and we went for a walk - Poncho was filthy within minutes. But we were happy to be outside.

On Friday the weather was fabulous – it was so nice to see the SUN. We explored the UNESCO Heritage section of Lunenburg, took a drive to Mahone Bay, Glen went for a swim in the pool, we walked the Oven Trail and explored the sea caves and then we had a BIG fire.

All in all, it was a productive and relaxing week off work.
