Sweet Anticipation

Staycation

After a 6 month (unintentional) hiatus, ya girl is back with some photos taken way back in mid October of last year.  Around this time, I started up will my third year of university, online, and I also began working full-time, 40 hours a week.  I had absolutely no room in my brain to even think about blogging for a long time.

For the next 5 months, all I did was school and work.  But in January, I made the right decision to put in my two weeks notice and give myself some room to breath.  I'm proud that I managed to work full-time while balancing school for a semester, but I don't ever want to do it again, haha!

Now that I have 40 hours of my life back, I've begun my journey to rewatching my favourite (15 season) TV show, Criminal Minds.  This is what, my fourth time rewatching it?

Anyways, I'm going to do my best to recall what happened on this day of... October 12 (I believe)?  I had met up with my mom and sister for a relaxing day of delicious food and exploring the Unionville area.  We enjoyed a delicious dim sum at Chef 88 and then drove to Unionville.  We strolled through the park and then shared bubble tea from The Alley, while wandering the streets of downtown Unionville.  I managed to spot a couple eccentric cars - the yellow one being much cooler than the tinfoil, bright blue one.

Then, as the evening was drawing closer, we hoped back into the car and my mom drove me back to Peterborough.  But along the way, we stoped in the small town of Port Perry for a filling dinner of fish and chips, and roast beef and mash.

Lots of walking + Lots of food!

September 20, 2020

My mom lives about a 2 hour drive from me.  And I just love it every time she visits.  We always eat amazing food and make an effort to walk/jog around town.

A couple weeks ago, she came to visit me for the day.  At around 11am, we decided to visit Jackson Park for a stroll.  I brought her to the same area that I had previously visited with my housemates, but we also covered a lot more ground.  We even tried to walk through the creek with our bare feet, though we didn't last long because the water was way colder than we expected!

After walking around for an hour, we were more than ready to grab some lunch.  So, we decided to go the the Kettle Drum.  Now, my mom and sister have already been here, but I hadn't.  And I have to say, I really loved the food!  We really went all out for lunch, ordering mussels, pizza, and a steak sandwich with a beet salad.  I would absolutely recommend their PEI mussels, steak sandwich, and beet salad!  I didn't know a beet salad could be so amazing, but it was and I am really eager to buy some beets next time I go grocery shopping :)

Stuffed from lunch, we came back to my house to relax a bit.  We watched one of the most intense Criminal Minds episodes (yes, I cried), napped, then went on a 40 minutes jog down the trail.  Oh, and I also brought my mom to the labyrinth garden and had her try some raw kale lol.

As soon as we finished our jog, it was time for dinner!  We ate at a new Vietnamese restaurant downtown called Hanoi and shared a large $12 bowl of pho.  It's definitely a great place to share a meal with someone!

After dinner, we said our good-byes, and she drove back home.  I really look forward to the next time she visits, which should be sometime in October!!!
