Road Trip, Baby!
Hey there,
Well, finally the weather was too good this time around to make the trip to Edmonton possible. We left on Friday night. It is just a crazy trip. Once you are on the main highway between Calgary and Edmonton it is just a straight road for about 350 kilometres. It makes the trip easier for Ryan who was driving, but it makes "I Spy" a little boring, with nothing but road and fields and sky! I can't wait to get a bit of driving done myself. The highways make it so easy...until you hit the city! Friday night was so windy too, and we were almost sand-blasted off the road when we stopped for something to eat. It made it harder to drive too, especially in a 1972 Valiant, but being difficult to drive in, and looking cool in a Valiant, evens itself out!!
We stayed with Ryan's aunt and uncle Gregg and Joanne, and their kids Christopher and Jesse. I have found my dream house..What a house. The jacuzzi bath was enough to have Sinead hooked! We arrived there pretty late so we pretty much went straight to bed, but we got up early then to go and watch Jesse and Christopher in a rugby match, which they won, of course! We went off to the West Edmonton Mall then. It's the largest shopping Mall in the world, with tons of shops, a hotel, a waterpark, an amusement park etc., etc. all under the one roof. The bungee jumping didn't happen as was expeted this weekend, (thank God!!!) but we are already planning a trip back for the waterpark, and the bungee jump is in the pool, so we'll have to wait and see. We also missed out on our trip to Hooters, for the chicken wings of course!! We made up for it with a delicious dinner made by Joanne. I avoided the spicy sauce option, but even the plain one was plenty spicy for me!
We all went back then to the Mall to go to the amusement park with the roller coasters etc., but we arrived there and the park was closed for a private party. We split up then and went to the arcade, while the girls went to Death By Chocolate...Sinead and Erin....Can't bring them anywhere!!
We left early then to come home, after another homemade breakfast, so that Erin could get to work. It was a really enjoyable weekend though, and really beautiful weather to go with it. Need to do a bit more thing like that on the weekends.
That's all for now though. Ryan is going to ask his cousin in Montreal about the best way to get tickets/accommodation for the grand prix too. Hopefully it will work out, if we're not too late in ordering them.
Thats it for now
Over and out
