The weekend of our 5th wedding anniversary was spent immersing ourselves in theater, music and culture as it was the only way we knew we wouldn’t miss the kids.

Eating out with Baby | Lobster Pound and Moore #MurphysDoNovaScotia

The Lobster Pound sounds like a very common spot and when my sister recommended that we swing by for dinner (her favourite restaurant) I was a bit skeptical.
