Wow! So, keeping a blog updated was apparently much more difficult to do while on vacation than I had thought it would be. I had this vision that while I was in PEI, I wasn't going to run all over the place and that I would have lots of down time. Well, the joke was on me!!! The 7.5 weeks that Cameron and I were in PEI just flew by and we were very busy. We probably only had a total of 5 days that we just stayed "home" and relaxed. The 2 weeks that Cory was with us in PEI also went very quickly but I had expected that. Since I didn't do a very good job of blogging while on vacation and I didn't exactly take notes to keep track of what we did, I'm going to do my very best to recap the highlights!
So, I already gave all the details of Stephanie's wedding, etc. The week after Stephanie's wedding was pretty uneventful for us. I took advantage of not having any obligations and had some relaxation time and got caught up on some sleep. However, our quiet time was short lived because Cory arrive in PEI on June 22nd and we were all pretty excited. While Cory was in PEI we did lots of visiting and touring the Island. On Cameron's birthday, myself, Cory, Cameron, Shirley, Jesse, Dylan, and Brandon went to Shining Waters Family Fun Park in Cavendish. We also had a birthday party for Cameron at Cory's parent's house. Cameron had lots of fun and it was a great way to get to see some family and friends. Cory and I took Cameron for his first round of mini golf in Cavendish. I got some great pictures and you can't even tell that Cameron was being a bit of a handful that day. We also perused Ripley's Believe It or Not after mini golfing and it was quite interesting. While Cory was in PEI we also made an obligatory trip to The Frosty Treat in Kensington...it was super yummy.
Cory and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on June 19th but we were still 4000kms apart. We planned an evening for just the two of us to go out for dinner and exchange gifts. We don't usually do the whole gift exchange thing for our anniversary but we decided we would this year. I had been planning Cory's gift for months! I had boudoir photos taken by an amazing photographer, Rachel Peters, and I gave him an album with the pictures in it as his gift. He was so surprised, he was speechless and for anyone who knows Cory, he's rarely at a loss for words. Cory gave me a beautiful journey diamond pendant and I absolutely love it. We went to Off Broadway Restaurant for our anniversary dinner. Cory used to work at Off Broadway and it had been quite a while since we had gone there to eat and the food was amazing.
Wedding number 2 took place while Cory was in PEI. Our great friend, Ryan, got married on July 3rd and Cory was a groomsman. The wedding took place at a lovely little church in Covehead and the reception followed at Shaw's Hotel. It was a beautiful wedding and very yummy meal at the reception. I had never eaten at Shaw's Hotel before but it's definitely a place I hope to return to on another trip to PEI. After the reception, we moved onto The Lobster Trap for a night of fun and dancing.
I know we did a whole lot more while Cory was with us in PEI but I just can't remember everything and I really don't want to bore anyone with too many little details.
PEI Vacation - Part 3 coming very soon...
