I'd love to go to halifax with kids, spend a morning at the discovery center, then head down to murphy's wharrf for a tasty lunch before heading out on a whale watching tour.
when we return we can head for a stroll on the waterfront to take in the buskers and explore the history of halifax.
in the evening we can take in a supper at saltys and enjoy some fresh fish entrees.
ending the evening with a wonderful walk in point pleasant park, to watch the sun set over the ocean.
