Man, what a whirlwind weekend. Sorry for not posting Friday, I was a bit burnt out from a busy week and couldn't formulate a post that would have made any sense.
Friday night Kim was actually feeling decent enough to do something with me and we decided to go to the movies. We went to see Kingdom of Heaven which was surprisingly good compared to what I expected it to be. Orlando Bloom played the annoyingly perfect hero as expected but the rest of the actor's were well portrayed. The scenery was very nice and action was suitably intense. And not too much gooey romance crap.
On Saturday we travelled to Seely's Bay for my Grandmother's 70th Birthday party. It was nice although a few of my relatives were more drunk than I can put up with. Kim and I did not stay too long as it wasn't my type of get-together. We travelled on to Kingston to stay overnight at Kim's sister's place.
On Sunday we went up the 401 to Brockville and visited Kim's parents. I then carried on to my parent's place to wish my mother a Happy Mother's Day. She was looking very good having lost a good chunk of weight from no longer eating sugar due to the onset of mild diabetes last year. We visited for a couple hours to catch up on news and summer plans and then I headed back to the inlaws to cook dinner. I apparently am the expert for barbecuing chicken in the family, a role I take great pride in. My own father would only let me near the BBQ if he was tied down on his deathbed.
After dinner (and some wicked Heavenly Hash ice cream dessert) we went north back to Carleton Place to end our circular tour of Eastern Ontario. Beautiful driving weather made it a pleasurable weekend if a little exhausting.
