A Holiday Monday for us ... YAY!!!

I LOVE HOLIDAY MONDAYS!!! Especially when you get ready for bed on Sunday..thinking you have to get up for work the next morning then realizing that ...wooo hooo...it's a holiday tomorrow!!!

If you exclude our "Road Trip Honeymoon"...it has been a little while since Brad and I have managed to get out for one of our Sunday drives...

Well, I know it wasn't exactly Sunday...but we did have the day off...soooo, why not hop into the car...(Picnic basket and cooler loaded...Just incase)...

First Stop: Breakfast at Al's Diner - YUMMMMM

Next: Carleton Place...just for a short visit/coffee break to say hi to Mama Chris and Papa Jim..who were also off and taking advantage of the beautiful weather...

Then: passing through Perth...a quick visit with Jamie, Marilyn and Max! Max is getting so big!!! He was showing us how he can swim in his little pool. Also we notice he is starting to talk alot more and becoming a little less shy!!! woo hoo MAX!!!

And Then: Well...were in Perth...better stop in and say a quick hello to Aunt Kathy and Uncle Earl (and Abbie too cause she was home for alittle bit)...Lucky us...Just as we were heading out to continue on our journey we were invited back later that evening for supper!!! Well...why not...the weather is again beautiful...and the company would be pretty top notch as well..ahah...so sure we'll be back in a couple hours!!!

Next: Finally with a destination in mind for our little drive, we head off to Newboro to check out the store (Kilborn's) that we have heard everyone talking about. It was a pretty neat little store. Perhaps a bit out of our pricerange for some stuff...but fun to browse nonetheless. Who knows we could afterall win the 649 on Wednesday...Fingers crossed.

One more quick stop: In Westport to browse through the shops which are pretty cool if I do say so. Also stopped at a local bakery for a few cookies and to pick up a strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert!!!

And as previously mentioned...what better way to finish off the evening ...A visit and supper with Kathy and Earl and Abbie!!! Thank you guys sooo much for a great evening last night. Supper was yummy!!!

Well that is our weekend in a nutshell...!!! We hope everyone has a great week!!! Cheers,
