Dreaming Of Muskoka

Ian and I had such a great time in Muskoka. I can't wait to go back. I'll post on our trip soon - better late than never... I just can't go through the pictures without being depressed that I'm not there - lol. :)

My Mom Had The Best Idea

Ian and I were a little worried about having to get up at 2:30/3:00am to drive to Buffalo for our flight to Virginia in 18 days... My mom gave me the best idea and thankfully Ian agreed. We are going to head down to Buffalo after work on the Friday and stay the night. The hotel is across from the airport and next door to The Parking Spot. (I'm not going to mention that the money we saved on our early morning flight will be negated by a hotel stay and mall shopping...)

The best part is that we get to do a little American shopping and dining. The Walden Galleria is huge and has a Cheesecake Factory. Yay Early Christmas! :)

Less Than 30

Just like me... the countdown is at less than 30! Less than 30 days and we get to see these little buggers.

Boo!

Cooper and Max were ghosts for Halloween. My sister made some pretty cool costumes!

Max clearly wanted to be a tiger. :)

Halloween Stats - SO CLOSE!

Man.. if we had just 1 more kid we could have at least tied last year! We got 61 kids even though it was a little rainy out! There so many kids wearing bulky costumes to keep warm and rain boots. Cute!

Ok Seriously - Don't Be Mean!

Muskoka Bound

Ian and I are headed to Lake Rosseau tomorrow - extending my BrittanyBirthdayWeekendofFun to this weekend. I've wanted to go back up north for awhile. Especially now with the trees having changed and hopefully still retaining their leaves. Low amount of bugs and just overall beauty. The last time was with the in-laws to Algonquin. While it was fun and I saw a moose, it was hot and bug filled. This time it will be cold which usually means less bugs! Lake Rosseau is a little less than 4 hours away from here.. in the land of a million little lakes.

We are staying at the The Rosseau Resort by JW Marriott.

The room has a fireplace and a good view of the lake.

We're going to try to geocache using my new handheld GPS! It's ready and loaded with a few geocaches in the area. Most of them near the hotel are micro. The micro ones were impossible to find using the iPhone's GPS. I'm hoping for better results with the handheld.

Ian and I are still getting over the virus that Max so kindly gave us. I've developed a wicked cough that I hope will be gone soon. Ian's cough is still awful but not as frequent. We're both high on inhalers 90% of the time. So this weekend might just be full of rest. But rest with room service~

Joke Gift

This was kind of a joke gift given to me by my mother-in-law... She knows how much I love mosquitoes. :P But it's actually an excellent mug for soup!

Via Virginia (Mugs #47-49)

My sister came up for my birthday and brought with her *3* mugs! She got the Houston one and then a friend of hers has a husband that goes to Korea monthly. Crazy.
