We had lunch one day with friends who spend their summers in Nova Scotia to escape Ottawa's hot, humid weather...
Then we visited a relative whom Terry hasn't seen in about 20 years, a cousin of his father's. Her daughter and son-in-law, who live nearby, also came over to meet us. Judy moved to Halifax to retire - but she still works part time for a former employer in Toronto - via the internet!
We spent an afternoon with someone who was on the top of the list: Terry's niece and her family, who live two hours by car from Halifax. The last time we saw her, she was six-months-old. Now she is the mother of three!
They took us to one of their favorite beaches...
Jennifer kept busy photographing...
Then to a lighthouse - where I kept trying to record the fog horn that blows every few minutes...
... on hazy days.
Later we visited a lighthouse museum.
Jennifer's husband, Albert - with experienced fisherman eyes - caught sight of some seals bobbing in the water nearby.
Eventually we saw them too.
It was fun to hang out with children again!
(Something we haven't done in years!)

Terry was thrilled to see his only niece again - after more than 30 years.
Our relaxed afternoon, spent with her family, was a holiday highlight.
