Winter Getaway


Hey guys! Happy 2016! Hope it has been a good year for you so far :). I haven't been blogging as much , mostly because I've been lazy. I have been trying new recipes but I just haven't found the time to talk about it here.

I've always loved road trips as a kid but I have not gone on too many as an adult. This is mostly due to the fact that I don't drive and most of my friends prefer not having to drive on their off days. So when my friends proposed the idea of driving to St.Catherine's and renting a place for the weekend for some "Winter Fun", I said yes right away. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't co-operating so there was nearly no snow, and the ground was very muddy but we ended up having a blast and that's what matters.

One of our main objectives were to go hiking and we chose Short Hill Provincial Park as our destination. It started off pretty good and we saw their half-frozen waterfall. 

Flow rate is low and frozen!
 It was just nice to walk about in the forest and for the most part, it wasn't too difficult.

Crossing a stream-no big deal
 We were just being our derpy selves and taking lots of selfies.


Apparently Christina and Annie have been doing some mad reps at the gym.


It was just really nice to walk around in a quiet place and be amongst friends.



But soon, our adventure took a wrong turn and now we're slipping down this horrible mud hill. Thank god I had my walking stick there since it was so slippery.

The brilliant Ameele who first picked up the stick

We did eventually made it out of there alive and decided we should try some wines to reward ourselves. It was super crowded at the winery though and nobody really tried anything at all.  Eventually, we got super hungry and visited a local restaurant in wine country.



The food turned out to be super amazing despite it being a toursity spot!

We all had something different from the menu and I must say it was one of the best pizzas I've had in a really long time.


Annie's burger looked super amazing as well. 


For dinner that night, we decided to make our own tacos. We prepped all the shells and the ingredients so we can make our own customized tacos. I must say Christina did an excellent job at the prep work since it's hard to work with a dull knife.

Ready ...set....Taco!

Someone even made a salad bowl...Chipotle style.


We ended the night with some pampering and face masks.

Even the boys got into it! Here's Ameele, ready for his first face mask experience.

He wanted the caviar mask

Look at the two of them pondering life with their masks on.... 


We even got a group selfie!

Check out Lucas' scary face in the middle...very horror movie worthy
Overall, I'd say this was a great weekend and I can't wait till we go away again! Have a good week everyone!
