Sunday, backdated entry

[mousme]

Sunday morning was a quiet affair, with everyone dragging themselves out of bed at a pretty decent hour, all things considered. fearsclave helped raven_albion and kilted_omalley with breakfast by making yummy sausages cooked in whisky. We had pancakes and there were eggs and bacon and coffee, thanks be to every god in the sky. ;)

We sat around all morning and chatted, and I finally got around to taking photos of raven_albion's garden as well as some of the ground floor of the house. I regret a bit not having taken more photos of the group activities apart from the climbing of the mountain, but I guess I'll do that next year. It's a very pretty garden, full of sunflowers and parsley as tall as my head.

Once everyone was packed and ready to go, we took a couple of group pictures, and there were sad hugs all around. I don't think anyone really wanted to leave by that point. It was all too short, as weekends go.

For the afternoon part of the trip, fearsclave, sassy_fae, catsarah, bodhifox, aliyna and I went on a tour of the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory. The tour was cutesy and meh, but we got a sample of ice cream, and I bought myself a cone of mint chocolate chunk ice cream.

We drove back to Montreal without incident, where I gave catsarah, sassy_fae and fearsclave a tour of my garden before sending them on their way. Then I went out and rented the first season of Prison Break so that I would finally see what the fuss was about.

It was shortly after that that I collapsed in an exhausted heap in my very own bed, ending the weekend.

Never "farewell", always "'til we meet again" :)

Question for you. My mother and her S.O. are headed to our house after a trip to Montreal. What would you suggest is the best route to take, seeing as you just did it?

Erm, their best bet is to take the Champlain bridge and from there Autoroute 10. After that it's a direct route to the I-89, if memory serves. fearsclave did most of the driving, and we had a happy little GPS machine helping us out. :)
