| Weekend in the 'Frew |
It was a girls weekend. Just 2 of us girls. My sister and I.
It's been ages since we have done one of our weekends. We normally make a trek to Canada's Wonderland, although we haven't done that in ages and we thought we would make it to Cedar Point last summer, but never did. We have gone to Casinorama to see Cyndi Lauper which as a blast! We've crossed the border and gone to Kewadin.
We've never gone too far away from home, and have never stayed too long but this weekend we checked ourselves into the Rocky Mountain House.
We left home about 6:30 on Friday night and arrived in Renfrew just after 11, checked in, unloaded and decided to get some rest. We were up Saturday morning and we were in Ikea by 10:30, shopped, ate and the shopped some more. From there we headed over to Bayshore and wandered there for a little bit hitting the Disney Store, Eddie Bauer and Mrs TigglyWinks (who said The Gap could be closed for reno's...damn) before making our way to Calabogie to have supper with Nana and Grampa. We detoured into Arnprior and shopped at the LCBO for Saturday night. Right after supper we did the dishes, tidied the kitchen and said good bye to Nana and Grampa and headed back into town, changed our clothes and were off to my Uncle's Surprise 50th Birthday Party and had an awesome time with everyone and getting to know our 3 cousins a little better. They are a hoot! 2:30 we stumbled back to the motel, crashed until almost 1030, had breakfast, picked up Adam who was returning back to school after reading week and made the drive home. I dropped my sister off, dropped Adam off and then came home to find that Hubby has started the cabinets for the living room! Things are coming together. We had a guy come in to give us an estimate for the furnace...you're gonna love this one. If we buy a Central Air system we get a free furnace...sounds great, right? The Air Conditioner is $6800.00! So much for free..LOL I don't see the need for Central Air so we need a few more estimates!
K.... back to the weekend
I would have loved to have met up with some special folks that I usually try to see when in the area, but there was just too much to cram into 48 hours.
Jo spent the day with her Papa and Gramma and they took her to see Happy Feet at the theatre! It was a first for her and she really enjoyed it. We had supper, brought Jo home and by 9:30 I was wiped and off to bed I went.
Lot's of laughs, booze and memories! It was an awesome weekend! Can't wait to do it all over again....soon OK?Labels: Family, Shopping, Travel |

Sorry to have missed you, but glad you had a great time with your sister and other family members. Sometimes a weekend away with family is good.
That is one expensive air conditioner. We hardly paid a third of that, so yeah, not exactly a free furnace :).
