If Ya Start Me Up.....

Well, I have to say that last weekend was the best time of my life!! It's taken me a week to settle down long enough to even bother with a blog entry. As most of you all know, we spent our weekend touring around in Brian's car with our main focus being the Stones concert in Halifax.

Friday after work I arrived home to find Kim and Darcy on the deck (Kim had already consumed three raspberry-vodka martinis and was feeling no pain..ha ha!). The three of us hit the road to drop Mitch off in Black River and then back to our deck to await Scott and Brian's arrival. Scott was working till 5:00 and Brian was on his way from Ottawa. We blasted some Stones tunes, had a few beers and finally Brian showed up around 6:00pm. We gave him the grand tour of our new backyard..lol..and then headed off to pick up Scott. After a few stops, we were on our way to Jen and Aaron's in Riverview.

We had quite the trip..lots of fun actually! I won't get into much detail, but we made a few minor detours (eh Brian?), and we eventually found our way. :) When we arrived Aaron had a great fire going in the backyard and both of the girls were asleep. Of course we all migrated outside and spent the rest of the evening there. Here's a few pictures from that night...



It ended up not being too late of a night (much earlier for some of us..Scott!), we all knew what the next day had in store. The next morning we woke up expecting bacon and waffles for breakfast (Aaron had told us all about it the night before)..but he was in no shape to be cooking breakfast for anybody! Ha ha! Instead we all had some coffee and decided to hit the road and grab breakfast somewhere. Before we left, Autumn and Arianna were both coloring a picture, Jen was trying to get ready for their trip to Miramichi, and Aaron was in the fetal position on the loveseat..lol!! Here's a picture of the girls...
So, big thanks to the Martin Family for having us for the night. We all had a blast! We'll have to do it again sometime, except next time Aaron we'll be expecting those waffles! :)

So, we all headed to Steve's Finer Diner (I think that's what it's called) for some breakfast. This place is a 50's style diner, with one whacked out jukebox! After spending nearly an hour there, we were off to Truro to check into our hotel. Luckily we had no problems, our room was ready even though we were early. We had time to veg for a bit, change into warmer clothes and then make the trek to Halifax for the concert. And unfortunately, that's where I have to cut my story off! I have absolutely no pictures from the concert. Luckily our sneaky 'ol pal Brian snuck his camera inside, and he's gonna cover the concert part of our trip. So, if you're interested in hearing more you can check it out on his blog , whenever he gets it posted!

I may post more pictures and video later on, Kim has a bunch from her camera. Unfortunately Kim has been admitted to the hospital and is currently out of commission for a while. Hope your feelin' better soon Kim!

So, that's it for now folks! Lots going on ....Dean and Jade are home now, and Coll and Dan are home for the weekend too. So, till next time!

Cheers!
