Last week Winston and I went on vacation. We took a week off just to relax and have fun. We had planned on going camping from Monday to Friday but the weather wasn’t on our side so we cut it short on Wednesday. We got to do most of the things we wanted to do at the campground which included biking, hiking, and canoeing. One day Winston and I took a bike ride/hike up to a camp site that our friend said he was going to be staying at. It took us about 45 minutes to get there only to find out that he didn’t show up. On our last day we went in the canoe but the water was a little rougher than we would have liked.
Thursday was our recharge day where we mostly just sat around the apartment and did a few chores. It was rainy out (one of the reasons we came home early from camping) so there wasn’t much to do that day anyway. Friday the sun was out again so we went with my family to their summer house for the day. We took our bikes and drove them to the beach. It was the perfect day for the beach so we enjoyed ourselves a lot. That night we had a weenie roast for supper and then went out in our boat for a drive. We finished off the day with some fireworks.
Saturday we decided to go check out the new Farmers Market. We mostly just went to look around. I did buy a piece of fudge which was the only thing I had planned on buying so it worked out well. Also on Saturday I had found out that it was the 2nd birthday of a store called Susie’s Shortbreads and that they would be giving away a free gift to the first 60 customers. I don’t know if you know me that well yet, but I LOVE free stuff lol. I had been wanting to visit this store for a while and a few months ago Winston’s sister gave me a cupcake from there which made me want to go even more (they are delicious!). So we went to check it out. I bought some shortbread cookies (my favorite!) and a cupcake. The free gift was another cupcake! Winston said that if I had bought two cupcakes I would have gotten another one free but oh well. I don’t want to get too fat lol.
Then on Sunday it was hot out again. We decided to go into my parents house to go for another bike ride (there isn’t really anywhere in town to ride our bikes). We biked for about an hour on the Rails to Trails (named because they turned the train tracks into a trail) which is an excellent trail for bikers. I never realized how pretty the lakes were around my childhood home before. It was a pretty great bike ride and a wonderful way to finish off our vacation.
