We moved to Halifax, Canada in April 2018. We took the initial months to settle in and get our legal documentation ready. Then Haaris started applying for jobs. When he got a good job in July, we had a few weeks before his joining date. So we decided to go to our first ever holiday to Toronto.

It was a trip full of fun and we enjoyed a lot. I made this travel journal on an old calendar from one of my jobs. Used receipts, tickets, pictures and other souvenirs from the trip.

We finally did Georges Island Tour… one of the most historic defence points in the harbour. It was such perfect Weather. 
Halifax ka chhota sa island, lekin tunnel system kafi gehra.

Purane zamane ke defence tunnels — thanday, narrow, aur fascinating. 🧐 built in the 1800s, once used by soldiers to find refuge beneath the fort.

Honestly bohot yaadgar day trip.
Kabhi kabhi bas ek simple tour bhi dil ko refresh kar deta hai.

Weather was beautiful, the tour was simple, and the history was surprisingly deep.
Sometimes the smallest islands hold the biggest stories.

Booking info:
We booked the official Parks Canada tour via Ambassatours. Tickets were approx $25 per person for the round‑trip ferry & island access inc tunnel tour.
August was beautiful. 😻 Alhamdulilah.

We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary yesterday—
with our fav beach café morning,
a peaceful dinner (rare!),
and our first dance night since having kids.

It reminded us how deeply couples need this time.
Not fancy, not extravagant… just uninterrupted moments
to remember who you are together.

Kids dadi babysat this time but really manifesting trusted friends
who babysit each other’s kids
so couples gets nights like this 🤍 
super important for thriving relationships
