pah! finally a weekend to myself that can actually be counted as my summe holiday. a whole two and a half days of out-of-town-ness, time-with-friends-ness, and i-drove-how-far?!-ness all wrapped up into good times and relaxing rest.
i tripped up to ville-du-roi a few hours away from hogtown with some friends. we left after werk on friday and hit the highway around 7pm. we made good time, i'd say, only stopping for coffee once i think. we draf to friends' of their farm in napanee - saw avril's highschool and everything. wow me. a quaint coutry home with a real nice feel to it save the somewhat tense tension at times, but that's the stuff for someone else's blog i'm sure. wine and talk and wine and good conversation and wine and wine later we finally slept. oh, to sleep sans alarm clock. noice.
the saturday we headed into kingston for a family thing, that was nice and interesting to say the least. after a bit of time with a crowd of people i didnt't really know, and after a yumtastic greek dinner (of cordon bleu, who knew it's greek. tastetastic all the same), we draf to a ferry and crossed over to wolf island (how canine) and to another friend's cottage. a-maz-ing. i want to retire there. i mean, so what if that family isn't planning on moving or selling the place...ever... but i'll figure something out. i. want. it. absobeautiful layout, cozzyasfcuk feeling, bedrooms galore (enough, not "why so many?!", but perfect), hottub to boot. hoe. leaf. uck. needless to say this made for one of the most relaxing evenings i've had alll summer long. and, accordingly, i slept like a log. one of those logs that sleep for ever without tossing or turning or waking in the middle of the night. one of those amazingly well slept logs. yeah, i slept like that.
sunday brought a nice day of rain and sun and more driving. we opted to take the longer, more scenic route back to t.dot along the water, stopping in bath along the way. we also drove through prettytown/belleville and i saw SJW - beautiful architecture and what grounds! i'd like to go back for sure. we also stopped at lake on the montain prov. park. really cool site in prince edward county. we also drove through picton. a "proud loyalist town" and real nice, but i couldn't get the news stories out of my head (sorry pictonites).
the final leg of the drive home was sodden with rain, lit with lightning and loud with thunder. all the same, it was an amazing weekend.
happhapphappy am i.
hic felice sum
