Nova Scotia - Part 4 - Shelburne

We got to spend the better part of one day just hanging out in downtown Shelburne. Even though it was drizzling all day we still managed to enjoy ourselves. Of course the boys loved climbing all over the various attractions and I enjoyed browsing in the tourist shops and art galleries. The boys spent at least an hour hanging out along the Harbour just throwing rocks in the water.
Shortly after I took the picture above Lucas slipped off this anchor and all Steve heard was a thud and then laughing. I was sorry to have missed it. :)
Lucas and Landon thought it was pretty cool that they could run around under this building. I guess part of the movie The Scarlet Letter was filmed in this location. One day I will get around to watching it.
We also took a little drive to just outside Shelburne to see the Sandy Point Lighthouse, one of many I would get to see during our trip.
One evening Steve and I took advantage of our "built in babysitters" and headed into Shelburne to the Seadog Saloon where we watched the tail end of the sail boat races, watched the sun set and the moon rise all while sharing a mediocre pitcher of beer. Luckily the conversation and the views made up for the beer. The boys were so happy to see that we did not stay out too long and we even managed to make it back in time to watch Big Brother. :)
