...But first, coffee (with Jen)

One of the events that I love, that happen in the Summer, is the Blueberry Festival. I've been there many times, growing up with family, and later on with my husband.  This year I ventured out with THREE of my work friends - all of which never been to the Blueberry Festival before! (Pic stolen from Andy - blog linked below)  These are a great bunch of ladies - they love to get out and see the sights, they are awesome to work with, and they are fantastic lunch buddies!  In fact, Andy (second from far right) already has her blog post up about the festival and you should check it out!  Here is the link to the Blueberry Festival post:  Just Being Andie .  I'm tots slow at getting this post up. It irked me a little that I didn't have any clear pictures of The Brigus Tunnel for my last feature on Brigus - so I fixed that with this trip.  I'm sure that I had pictures but they were lost when my computer crashed and needed to be brought back to fact...

I love Summer.  I love the sun. I love the warmth. And I love the exploring! This post is about historic Brigus . This (mostly) quiet little town is fantastic to explore.  In the main section of town you have narrow roads, a mix of older and newer homes, historic sites, a walking trail to the lighthouse (which I have yet to do), and places to shop and eat. During the Summer months Brigus comes alive with tourists, and it is a site to take in for the Blueberry festival (omfg the food!) This pic above is from the other side of the town. It's really quite on this side as it is away from the tourist sites. On a trail, opposite of the water, are a few really old, abandoned homes.  They've been pretty trashed over the years.  Below is the house that is still standing.  I love how tucked away it is - you would never know it is there if you didn't' venture down the pathway. We don't luck into finding places like this.  We found this gem while Geocaching!...
