During a summer a few years back, I took the kids to the Halifax Waterfront to enjoy the Boardwalk, ice cream, beaver tails ( so delicious!) and to play on the Big Wave. It's a rock that kids climb up on (very slippery) and when the get to the top, they do the "I've made it" wave.
Afterward walking, eating and playing, we took a ride on the Harbour Hopper. It's a large type of bus ride that also doubles as a ship. So after we toured our own city and heard some of the highlights of history, our bus suddenly went into Halifax Harbour and gave us a lovely boat ride of our harbour. Many of my pictures didn't turn out so well, but I hope these pictures give you a little taste of my lovely city, Halifax, one of our bridges, the MacDonald bridge and the small George's Island with the lighthouse. Many tourist visit Halifax for our Historic properties, our board walk and our history.
I hope you enjoy it as well.
