We just came back from our biggest trip as a family of 4, our first one that required taking a short plane ride (Eden's first plane ride!) that took us to the edge of Canada. Originally I chose to go to Nova Scotia to be close to the ocean, but I surprised myself because the things I enjoyed the most was the long hikes we did. We spent 5 days in Cape Breton, but we could have easily stayed for 2 weeks. My dream would be to return in the fall to see the island show off its colours.
Our first hike was the Skyline Trail, which is probably the most famous trail in Cape Breton, and for good reason. It took an hour to hike to the trail, and I am so proud of Eloise because she did it all by herself. We walked right under the clouds, looked out for moose and bears, made wildflower bouquets and snacked on wild blueberries along the trail. Eden was strapped on my back, having a lovely nap the entire way and woke up just in time for the most incredible view at the end.
