Working SuckssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #vacation9 years ago
So my wife and her sisters decided to take a trip out east with her parents this week. There are a total of 7 grand kids, my wife and her 3 sisters, one husband and 2 grandparents. Unfortunately I am stuck here at home working. My wife and I share a dropbox account so to rub it in, I get instant updates of all of the fun that they are having. Traveling out East is something I have always wanted to do, so needless to say I am completely jealous. The families rented two vehicles and rammed every one in for the long drive. They were stocked up with movies, games, food and anything else they could think of to keep the kids sane during the drive. They made some stops along the way but made it to their final destination: Halifax. For those of you who don't know Halifax is the capital of the province of Nova Scotia. It sits directly on the Atlantic Oceans. One of the most famous locations in Halifax is Peggy's Cove. This is where my wife and son were today while I was performing my mundane daily routines. I am going to let the picture do the remainder of the talking.

Beautiful family experience @dadview. Now, I must also say, I feel jealous. It is a very beautiful trip. Thanks for sharing. :)

I definitely understand what you mean. That is one evil dropbox!

At least there isn't a picture of her sitting by the ocean drinking a fresh coffee as the sun rises....

Hahah lol good one ☝️ :)

That's my house in the pic! Naw but I'm from Halifax bud. Super cool, hope they had fun

No way. That is awesome.
Was the chase the ace draw all over the news there?

Crazy story.

I heard something about that at work one day I think? I don't watch much news anymore honestly. It comes at me without trying it seems nowadays haha did someone raise a buncha $ and then flew on the charity or something like that?

In this lobby, will there be T.P.? For my bunghole?

Yeah. Every week they have a draw. The winner of the draw gets to pick one card out of the deck. If they pick the Ace of spades they win the prize pool (I think50/50 with the church). The game went on for 10 months. They were down to 8 cards left but the crowd each week was affecting the area. It wasn't designed for so much traffic.
So before School starts back up next week they wanted to end it. So yesterday they said that they would keep drawing names until a winner. The pot was over 2 million dollars at the start. It ended up at 2.6 million.
Crazy. It wasn't in Halifax it was in St.Johns but it was on the news here so I figured it would be all over the east coast news.

Wow, someone got rich. That's pretty cool and i never heard about it. I bet whoever won could really use that money. Wish it was me haha

I have always wanted to visit Halifax, hope one day I can get there! And newfoundland too!

Where are you from? are you in Canada?

No I live in Maryland, but always wanted to visit Canada. It looks so beautiful!
