The Travels of the Agnew Family

Back in September when I was looking for a restaurant for my mother's birthday lunch I found a Scottish Pub in New Hamburg with the interesting name of Scran & Dram Scottish Public House. We ended up going to a different restaurant to celebrate my mother's birthday but Ed decided we needed to go to the pub one day as he had found a menu item he wanted to try. Weatherize it was amazing today so along with Rob and Ellen we climbed into the car and drove to New Hamburg for lunch and of course geocaching.


Ed's choice from the menu --- Rabbie Burns Supper. It was haggis, neeps, tatties with hairy hen whisky sauce. Ed said it was good but he does need to have haggis for another 10 years or so.

Driving through the town of Milverton, Ellen noticed a sign on a shop --- it was her maiden name spelled the way her family spelled it.


We stopped so Ellen could see find out if this was a long lost relative. Unfortunately, the owner wasn't there, but it we did buy some treats. Yum...

We drove through a number of cute towns stopping to look for some geocaches. New Hamburg has a lot of parks and they all have at least one geocache in them.


One of the parks.


Down the road in Baden, Rob had a little chat with Sir John A MacDonald. This was the start of a multi-part geocache.


Castle Kilbride in Baden is going to home to 22 bronze sculptures of past Canadian Prime Ministers. The statue of Sir John A. MacDonald is the first.


Are they looking for a geocache or enjoying a hot beverage?
