canadiandiamondI'm back home after a nice long weekend away. You could call it camping, maybe, but we stayed in a lovely house in Summerville, owned by my friends' parents. It was actually the childhood home of her father, so it's not even a cabin, really, it's a house. A smallish one, but a house nonetheless, and they've put a lot of work and money into it to make it a very nice getaway.
There were... a ton of us there, haha, can't remember how many. Let's see, for Saturday night we had Joni, Alex, Stephanie, Jennifer, Gordon, Danielle, Suzanne, Jackie, Chris, Simon (J&C's 5 year old son, he's a sweetie omg), Kathy, and me, so yeah, that's 12. We had a bbq Saturday night, followed by drinking and playing Family Feud on the iPad (Alex's, not mine) and a game called "What's Yours Like?" which was pretty damn fun. XD Then some guitar playing and more drinking.
On Saturday we got up earlyish - I was crashing on the couch and therefore was always the last to sleep and the first to be woken up XD - and played some golf after breakfast. That was fun, Alex, Jackie, Jennifer and I had fun. Then we went back to join the others and went out for ice cream in a place up the road. It was then that Danielle and Suzanne drove back, so there were only 10 of us Sunday night. It was more of the same, a nice bbq for supper and more games - Catchphrase, which rocks - and then guitar playing, with a lot of drinking and silliness.
Today we got up around the same time, 9am-ish, and had another nice little breakfast and packed our things. We drove out together and stopped in Clarenville for lunch at McDonald's and then had some ice cream at an awesome local spot. Then it was time to gas up and hit the road, so much traffic omg, but that was to be expected coming home after May 24th weekend, heh.
It was a nice relaxing weekend, gotta say, lots of laughs and good times were had by all. :) It's only about a 2 hour drive away from here too, would love to do it more often, and J&A were incredible hosts as always. They go out a lot, but it's often with her family of course, though every now and then they can have it to themselves. I think the relatives rotate using it, kinda. It was great though, and my first time there - last time I heard of them going was 2 years ago this time of the year, though I was busy getting married at the time, hee. XD Speaking of which, this was where J&A got married, though I didn't know them well enough to warrant an invite at the time, hehe.
Hope everyone else had a good weekend, and that you have a nice rest of the week too. :)
