Bruce visits his Nova Scotia VIPs

Almost 4 and already an experienced coast-to-coast traveler, Bruce decided it was high time he rolled into Halifax and Chester to hang with his cousins Isabelle and Jack. It was also overdue to pay his good buddies James Wheelock and Sophia Hewitt a visit. He was very gracious in allowing Daddy to come along.

The following pretty much sums up Bruce's 8-day Nova Scotia tour.
