Finally we got to relax in beautiful Grand Bend.
Well, SOME of us got to relax... :)
Brad's mom recently bought a gorgeous resort-like home in beautiful Lambton Shores, just down the road from bustling Grand Bend, nestled in the trees... campfires in the yard, fireplaces in every room, a jacuzzi, a jet tub, and our own private glass and stone tiled shower in our bedroom... it was a little piece of heaven.
We had a great New Year's party with the Delaware Posse; it was great to see everyone! Too bad we missed the girls - they were partying in style elsewhere, but we're looking forward to seeing them on our next trip. We'll make sure of it. :)
We also got a chance to spend a night with Ted, Mel's dad, in Collingwood. It's so gorgeous with all the snow! It's easy to see why it's a resort town. Ted is hung up with a bad back and a bum shoulder, so he's a little disgruntled, but he was delighted to have us and we were thrilled to be there. We really enjoyed ourselves. It's so nice to catch up.
We stayed with Art & Amy while in Toronto for a night; as always we were treated to popcorn and wonderful company and we were excited to see how cute Amy is now that she's five months along! Art wanted to call the baby Santa Mullin; I think Amy has other ideas...
Because our flight was delayed, we agreed to fly out a day later which was an unexpected and pleasant surprise! We got a chance to stay with Jenny & Ian - and Ian had only recently acquired the Beatles for Rock Band... Art & Amy came over and we had a rockin' good time! Nothing is funnier than watching your musician friends trade instruments and wail on Beatles tunes. Nothing.
Our flight home was a gong show. We got delayed, held up, re-routed, waited for soggy baggage, and in the end we were incredibly thankful to be home, safe and warm, when the trip was all over.
And that was Christmas! Now it's back to the grind... when something eventful happens, IF it happens, we'll be sure to blog about it.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday too!
