Return of Solstice Sampling (Part III)

24/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Solstice Sampling has come and gone, and once again it was a successful event. Joni Nehrita (singer/ band) was fantastic, loved all the song choices and what a voice. Our little one wasn't shy about being one of the only people dancing in front of the stage. 

There seemed to be quite a few less places offering samples, but the set up was much better than in previous years (food samplers were set to the outside, with tables inside and space to move around). No lack of place to sit or stand and chat. Loved their incorporating the seating already at the Waterloo Public Square.

(To the right) Sausage: house made with sauerkraut and mustard aioli, from Nick & Nat's UpTown 21 (4 tickets). My husband's favourite. We had it cut in two, so we could give some without sauerkraut to the wee one. Was delicious, and a full meal in itself.

Stratford Girls Trip

22/6/2015

0 Comments

 
A couple weekends ago, I went on a road trip to Stratford with my mom and two sisters. We spent two nights (Friday and Saturday) at the lovely Legacy House B&B, run by Réjeanne Groulx. We decided to spend a full weekend there, even when we were only going to an afternoon show on the Saturday. It is not often we can hang out with my mom just the three of us girls, as we are all busy and live far apart. My one sister travelled by train from Ottawa.

We stayed in the Music Suite, which must have been in the old servant's quarters. Sloped roof, two rooms (one with a queen and one with a twin). Réjeanne added a cot to the sitting room. I took the cot, as it was closest to the bathroom.

Mumford and Sons

18/6/2015

For our 5th wedding anniversary, I bought my husband tickets to see Mumford and Sons live at Niagara-on-the-lake. This is his all time favourite band, and it has been hard to get tickets to their shows, or they usually now only do Festivals (which you have to pay for the full weekend and can be quite expensive). So I was so pleased when this came up, it was fate. I had been trying to think of how to get that next level gift for this momentous occasion. 

We left work around 2, as it was a Monday evening event, and made it to the venue by 4. We got out and ate a bit of dinner we brought. Then we did a tour of the city, as the gates didn't open until 5. We found some treats for the wee one at home with my mom, and something for my mom as a thank you. It is a lovely little town, old style, like being thrown into the past. 

The weather turned out to be fabulous, no rain in sight. A little humid and hot in the sun, but when the sun set, around the time Mumford and Sons was coming on, there was a breeze and we were comfortable. The two bands before were quite good, Son Little and The Maccabees, and they seemed to highlight the new sound that Mumford and Sons have embraced on their latest album.

5th Anniversary (Bobcaygeon)

9/6/2015

0 Comments

 
For our 5th anniversary, my husband and I were at a cottage with friends and our little one. We decided to go out for dinner, friends were invited if they were interested, and we took our wee one along.

We journeyed out to Bobcaygeon to spend the day together as a little family unit. We went for a picnic lunch in the park, did a little bit of shopping, and took a walk around the little village. It was so nice to be able to be just the three of us, playing, and laughing and watching the world go by. It was so relaxing, and we didn't really have any plans for what to do or where to go for dinner. It was all come what may.

On Thursday evening at the cottage, we decided to go into town and try out The Little Pie Shack we had passed a couple days before. It was pink, and fluffy, and delicious looking. The perfect small town eatery for all things sweet.

Kawartha Lakes Getaway

Last week our little family took a vacation with some good friends of ours. We rented a cottage on Sturgeon Lake, near Fenelon Falls. The cottage was smaller than we thought it was from the photos, but it was a wonderful escape full of adventure, laughs and general happiness. 

My husband found the cottage and did all of the leg work, which was a nice change, as I am usually the instigator. But with a little one on the way, my energy levels are very low. Instead of going south to a tropical island, a cottage was the perfect destination to go with our good friends, especially ones travelling from a far distance.
