Summer Getaway #1: McGregor Bay, Canada

(I wrote this blog a month ago and forgot to post it.... so here it is!)

Well, I am back to reality! Back to Pacific Time, cellular telephone reception, TV, wireless internet (actually having to check my email...), and the only thing that I really missed, my pup! That being said, Canada was incredible. Knocked my socks off and totally spoiled me. We had beautiful weather every other day. The weather worked like clock works. One day it would be gorgeous, sunny, and 24 degrees Celsius (ohhh Cananda), and then the next day it would be rainy, windy, stormy, and cold. So we planned accordingly and totally let the weather plan the day. On the nice days we laid out, swam, paddle boarded, kayaked, went on boating adventures, and indulged with gin and tonics. On the icky days we did a lot of reading, playing cards, sleeping, sitting, eating, and more eating! Both kinds of days included wine drinking as I was introduced to two new red's in my world, the Shiraz and Malbec. Oh yum yum yum!

And now for the results of my photo challenge! Here are some of my favs that were taken by my very own self on my very own camera! It is moments like this make me so glad that I took my own pictures because now I have something of my very own to share.
