Canada Day is Jon's FAVORITE holiday, hands down. He loves it more than Christmas and his birthday... combined. I haven't quite figured out why but he absolutely loves it!! So I was thrilled that he got in from sea early and we were able to enjoy the festivities for it!
This Canada day was very special because it was also the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy, and I have always had a fascination with the Navy. The morning of Canada Day Jon and I headed down to the Halifax waterfront to check out all the amazing Navy boats from all over the world in town to celebrate with us! We actually also got a tour of a Danish ship. It was the largest in the Danish Navy, and actually had two docks for helicopters on board, and had one helicopter there. Pretty cool stuff!! :o) Unfortunately I had forgotten my camera so these are pics that I looked up of the ship online, from the Danish Navy website.
After checking out the waterfront, and grabbing some burgers on the boardwalk for lunch we headed home for a nap. (It was at this point that we realized we are officially old....hehe.) And then we were off to the Joel Plaskett concert at Alderny Landing on the Dartmouth Waterfront. It was good music, fireworks and a great time enjoying a beautiful and very special Canada Day with my hunny. Luckily, this time I remembered my camera!
Sounds like fun! Great pictures, you guys look really happy! I'm glad you got to hang out :-)
