Wow, where should I start? Cory, Cameron and I started our vacation on Wednesday, October 7th. We left for Saskatoon as soon as Cory got home from work and spent the night because our flight was leaving at 7:30am on October 8th. Cory and Cameron had a good nights sleep at the hotel but I certainly didn't. I had a couple of hours of sleep and then I lay awake waiting for the alarm to go off...I had this paranoia about sleeping in and missing our flight. We managed to get to the airport with lots of time to spare but Cameron kept telling us he just wanted to go home...I figured we were going to be in for a very long day.
We had no problems with our flights, they were all on time and Cameron was pretty co-operative all day. We only had to make one connection in Montreal and we had a very short wait, which was great! We arrived in Charlottetown just after 5pm and it felt so good to see family and be back in PEI. My parents picked us up and then we went to Cory's parent's home for supper and to stay our first couple of nights.
Friday morning I had a very important appointment...I got my hair dyed and cut and it felt so good to get it done. The grey hair was getting a little out of control to put it mildly! Friday evening we had a surprise 60th birthday party for Jerome, Cory's dad. The party was a great time and we got to see lots of family and a few friends. It was a late night though so we were dragging our butts Saturday morning when we had to get up at 7am. Cory and Cameron got haircuts and I got my hair curled. Shirley, Cory's mom, then took Cameron as she was keeping him for the day and night. My parents picked us up and the four of us made the trek to Halifax for Lori and Wayne's wedding.
We left Charlottetown at 10am and arrived at the Prince George Hotel at 1:20pm. The wedding ceremony was at 2pm and we still all had to get changed. We all managed to be ready by 1:45pm though. The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time. The food at the reception was plentiful and amazing. The music was great and there was lots of dancing. We were also invited to a brunch on Sunday morning which was also amazing and it was great to see Lori and Wayne again before we had to go back to PEI.
We arrived in Savage Harbour, PEI at about 4:30pm just in time for Thanksgiving dinner with Cory's family. We were all pretty stuffed from all the eating we did in Halifax but we all managed to force down a plate of dinner. We were all pretty tired too so we didn't stay too late as our beds were calling our names.
On Monday we took Cameron and got some great fall pictures. It was pretty cold outside but we managed to find some sheltered spots where it didn't feel as cold. We then went to Nine Mile Creek to visit my aunt and uncle and to have lunch...Thanksgiving leftovers. We had a great visit and Cameron managed not to destroy their not so childproof house, but he did manage to scratch their kitchen table which I felt absolutely terrible about.
Tuesday was Cory's last day in PEI. We had breakfast with Bobbi Jo and supper with Darcy, Jill, Kent, Billi Jo and Tara...notice the trend of eating all the time! Breakfast was super yummy. Supper was fair and the service was horrible. The company for both was awesome. Cory left to go back to SK on Wednesday afternoon...I think Cameron wanted to go home too. I cooked supper for my parents and Cory's parents Wednesday night and then just waited to hear from Cory when he got home.
So far, our vacation has been great. I have a busy weekend ahead of me and I'll fill you in on all the details later. Cameron has informed me he is hungry and I'm getting pretty hungry myself so I best go find something for lunch.
Until next time...
