September in Canada
September 22, 2011 § 3 Comments
I was lucky enough to spend last week in Canada with my family and friends – an easy comedown from my European vacation and transition back into North American (and real) life!
I finally met my cousin’s adorable son, Kieran.
Spent hours on a pontoon boat at my parents’ cottage
Spent time with some great family
Saw a cow hanging out with some geese
We also fed some hungry bluejays peanuts. They weren’t shy about coming back for more!
I spent four days with my parents’ at their cottage, doing nothing in particular. It was great.
But I did crack open the boxes of CDs I left with them when I moved to New York and ripped the ones I didn’t already have to my iTunes. Age of Electric and Treble Charger, anyone?
I left the woods and headed into Toronto for the last few days of my visit. Apparently, they still don’t like their embarrassing mayor.
Thursday night, we all celebrated Julia and Jay’s love at their engagement party. I drank my first (and last) dark & stormy. Have you ever tried one? Yuck!
Friday night, we opted for a night in with pizza, beer, and comfy, warm clothes.
Oh, and dogs!
Thanks for the good times, Canada. I can’t wait to come back and visit you again real soon!
Dark and Stormy(s) are my favourite cocktail! Real ginger beer is the key.
Next time you’re in Canada, we must meet up!
Yes, I haven’t seen you in so long, Julia! How’s Toronto treating you?
Hey Christina,
I know that Sea Monster!! I am pretty sure that is on Burnt river near Fenelon Falls… If I am correct then my Dad has a cottage very close to yours. We can be cottage buddies.
I hope everything is swell. I am feeling a NYC trip soon hopefully we can cross paths!
