Vacation

I just finished my vacation, and it went by way to quickly. Our first adventure was camping. I knew the weather might not cooperate but I wanted to get outside regardless. We went to Sandbanks beach, which is on the coast of Lake Ontario and got a last minute spot in a non electrical spot which was fine for us, because we all like to rough it. Dan still had to work during the day but we were able to spend the day, Joanne, Kassy and I and Oli of course. We went to the beach and made sandcastles. Oli got to play with other puppies as the beach we went to was a pet beach, it was grand. The next day we had to pack up and of course the rain came pouring down, we were soaked to the bone and muddy as hell, it wasn't fun at all. But thats what we get for camping in this wet summer.
We got back Thursday and then I had to clean up all this stuff and unpack the wet tents and do 3 loads of laundry. After that I got to take a nap and shower. We watched a movie then went to bed.
The next morning we had to get up early and pack again. This time we were going to Montreal, just Dan and I. We dropped Kassy off at Dan's mom Joanne's, then went to pick up a car rental. We drove to Ottawa first to visit one of Dan's friends. We left Ottawa around noon and on to Montreal. We mapquested our trip but that proved useless. Luckily we had my blackberry which has GPs and we got to our hotel just fine. We stayed in the Latin quarter in an interesting place, but it was cool because it wasn't "standard" but thats what I liked about it.
We walked around a bit bought a donar from some Greek place. Then my cousin Julie called and came and got us and we went out to my other cousin Patricks place for dinner. Dan got to walk on stilts Patrick had made and we talked and drank, it was a lot of fun.
From there we went to a club with Julie, and not knowing that she was taking us to a gay club we got there and I noticed all the bartenders were hot guys with no shirts on, and Dan noticed all these girls grinding and kissing, I then starting noticing guys kissing too. We just looked at each other and kind of giggled. Then Dan started noticing these guys staring at him, and then they started grabbing his bum. I was laughing so hard but Dan became uncomfortable and left. We then went back to the hotel to sleep.
The next day we got up and wandered the streets again for breakfast and had a great meal. We then shopped up and down these quant streets and in this massive underground mall. Dan has never been to Montreal before so everything is eye opening and awesome to him which made it all the more exciting for me.
We spent the day sight seeing and wandering about, then went for a nap, because we had a big night ahead of us at the "just for laughs" festival. We went to dinner before the show and I got up and left because the service was horrible. We sat down, ordered wine, and said we're in a little bit of a hurry because we had a show to go to. We placed our order, then waited and waited and waited, then the chef came out and said they had forgotten our order, so again we waited and waited and waited. All this time waiting and no one came by to ask if we needed anything like another glass of wine or anything, finally we get our food and the steaks are not cooked at all and all bloody. We couldn't eat it, we told them to shove it basically I started crying (cuz thats what I do when I'm mad) and we stormed out.
After that I was still starving but we had to get to the show. Downtown was bussling with people, lots of lights and whatnot. We got to our seats and the show was awesome. After the show we were hungry so we went to a pizza stand and they served beer, Dan thought this was awesome, so we sat down and took pics of us with pizza and beer in this hole in the wall place. The rest of the night was fun, but I won't get into the details. So Sunday after we had only slept maybe 4 or 5 hours, we got up because it was check out time at our hotel, and we still had to drive back to Kingston. I drove the whole way which was fine but I was exhausted. When we finally got home, we had to get Kassy and Oli and take Joanne home, return the rental and get dinner. Man it's exhausting just thinking about it. Then I had a day of rest Monday, just had a load of laundry and then I did nothing but watch movies with Kassy and Oli all day. The perfect end to a not long enough vacation.

Little Oli

Our baby is growing so much, he is so smart, he now knows, "sit, shake a paw, lay down and up" It's really cute because he is still so small, we I mean he does weigh 10 lbs now but he's still just our baby. We have been teased about how much we baby him, but since we don't have kids we think it's ok. LOL! Anyways, I'll attach some new photos of baby tonight. Miss you all. See you soon.
