Weekend at Cawaja/Owen Sound

So I am trying not to slow too much with my posts, so I am posting my next post now ;) ahead of my post a month.

Geofford and I travelled to Georgian Bay on Thursday morning in a Mazda6 that we rented (so we could try it out) for the journey. I was so excited to be in the car that I slept for the first 2.5 hours of the trip and missed the new route that Geofford decided to take. In hindsight based on his descriptions, I'm a little relieved that I was sleeping for that portion.

We made it to Georgian Bay safe and sound (and I didn't even have to drive) around one after making a couple stops - one being to purchase the 2Gb memory card for Geofford's engagement present. Thursday evening, we went down to Blair Lane with the rest of the Seaborns to celebrate Tim Seaborn's life. We had a great lobster and mussel dinner .

I promised myself that I would do some exercise on the trip, so I went out on a run Friday morning (11am is still morning), which was a little bit of a mistake because it was a warm day. I should have jumped in the water immediately after getting back from my run, but instead waited a while, and the water was cold, but bearable. My parents came to visit on Friday night, and it was nice to visit with them without all the hustle and bustle back home. Geofford was also happy because they brought with them his engagement present, and he was able to play with that for a little while. We had a great dinner at the Seaborn cottage. I really should do more exercise when I am at Georgian Bay so that I can eat more. :)

On Saturday, after a quick dip in the bay, Geofford and I travelled to Owen Sound for our friends' Laura and Mike's wedding. I didn't know that it was an outdoor wedding until we got there, which was quite unfortunate for Geofford as he was wearing a black suit. Oops...fortunately Geofford was able to take off his suit jacket so he didn't roast. There was also a slight breeze so that helped, a little. It was a beautiful ceremony right on the water, and the bride and groom were very happy. In hindsight, Geofford should have brough the 30D out, but I was able to get some nice pictures with my baby camera. The dinner/dance was in the community centre right next to the water, and it was very beautiful as well. At one point, the DJs had some problems playing the right mix of music because everyone was outside enjoying the sunset and the nice night. For those of you who wanted to see pictures of me in my dress, here you go:


Although we didn't make it back to Cawaja until just around noon, my parents took some pictures with the gang at the cottage. They had an overall great time, although my mother got a sunburn, which she hasn't had in a long, long time.

Geofford and I made it back to the beach in the afternoon and were able to take a nice dip in the water. The water felt warmer, but that could have just been an excuse for us to stay longer at the beach. We ended up leaving around 3:30, which was pretty good timing as it started to pour (when I was getting on hwy 11 - I couldn't see the car in front of me...) shortly after we got on the road. Overall it was a great trip, and I was really sad to give up the Mazda6. Oh well, I guess I will just have to work a little harder so that we can earn enough money to buy the car.

On another note, my 29th birthday passed quite nicely - Geofford gave me a Ipod nano, which was an amazing present. I am enjoying using it. It is so cute. Until next time...short wedding update: Thank you Shanna for helping me organize the hair - we now have appointments to get our hair done. Also, hopefully by the next time we post we will have ordered the flowers and the cake...only a few more months...until I am Mrs. Geofford Seaborn. (I am appending Seaborn to my name for those who are curious...).
