Best Weekend Ever!
Friday: I took the day off work, and went up north to Keswick, Ontario, home to famous Canadian author Stephen Leacock. (If ya'll have a chance, you should read one of his comedic works, The Mariposa Bank Mystery.) Anyways, Shewhomakesmencry was supposed to come with me, but due to her being as sick as a dog, she cancelled. My dad ended up taking me instead which was really nice of him. We took the scenic route there, which took us about two hours. We ended up making a pit stop at the restaurant where DoorKnob works. I saw her for the first time in approximately 7 months. Yeah, it's been a while eh?
Anyways, once we reached Keswick, everything felt different. I don't know if it was the change of scenery or if it was because I was by the lake again, but it just felt different. We stopped at Cooks Bay first, which is just at the bottom tip of Lake Simcoe, and sat on a park bench and just stared out at the ocean. This is what we saw:
Isn't that gorgeous? It was such a beautiful day too! While we were sitting there, a dog from one of the neighbouring houses came over and started to play with us. Yeah, it was kinda weird, but the dog looked bored, so we humoured her. We were throwing sticks and she was fetching them, she even stole a shell that I found and ate it. Weird eh? She was a very well trained dog. Any command that we gave her she obeyed.
Afterwards we drove over towards the Pioneer Village that is located in Georgina (about a 10 minute ride from where we were). Once we got there, we saw that it looked like a pile of really old bricks, so we just left and headed for Willow Beach instead. Once we got there, my dad and I started to enjoy the scenery even more! We walked along the shoreline and we also walked around the conservation area that they had as well. This is what we saw as we walked along the road at Willow Beach:
Absolutely gorgeous! My dad said the only thing he forgot to bring that day was his bathing suit. We also made a bunch of mini videos of our trip up there for my mom.
After Willow Beach we headed over to Jackson's Point and went to a small Pub/Restaurant. It was a great little place that had one of the best sandwiches that I have ever eated! Mmm, I can still taste the garlic butter on the panini bun. Once we finished eating, dad and I headed home, taking the long way of course...
Saturday: I had been looking forward to this day all week long! PinkPolish and I had planned a night out to this lounge that was about a 15 minute drive from where she was. It ended up taking us like 20 minutes to get there because people don't know how to drive. We had a whole marathon of getting ready. I went over a bit earlier and we watched some Sex and the City episodes, and then we did hair and make-up, and so forth. In the end, we looked smashing!
IT Girl also came with us. We met her at the lounge. We drank martinis (probably some of the best I've ever had - if you're ever going to try a new martini, try the Lotus, it's a great drink, but sip it slowly, because the sweetness may get to you if you guzzle it down) and we danced the night away. Right before we were about to leave though, PinkPolish had a tiny, miniscule, microscopic accident. She fell down the stairs and whoosh flew her skirt. I must commend her though because she graciously recovered from the mishap.
Ladies, I have one thing to say. If you're going to be dancing all night, DON'T WEAR UNCOMFORTABLE SHOES! I am never wearing my fuck-me-heels again if I'm dancing and there are no seats around to rest. My feet are so sore today! And you know, this raises another question, why are women the ones who must endure this kind of shoe pain? Why do men get all the comfy footwear?
Whatever the case is, I'm gonna go make myself some breakfast and then go back to bed. Have a great day folks!
