Saturday night, I joined some girls from work at the Charlottetown Hotel's Dinner Theatre. As in previous years, the cast did not disappoint - it was fantastic! This year's show is called the "Nearlyweds", entertaining the audience with the Ledwell Wed-Well Pre-Marriage Course. If you're looking for an fun-filled night out full of laughs, with good food to boot - check it out!
I was delighted to see Alicia Altass was starring in this year's theatre. She wasn't on the roster, however, so was standing in for one of the other performers. If you're a regular reader, you'll recall last year's visit to the theatre, where I figured out that the young lady wowing us all was the little girl I used to babysit regularly. She lived across the street from me. I should have known she'd be an entertainer, as she always sang herself to sleep back then. She was also very 'dramatic' if memory serves. Great job, Alicia!!
Sunday, Chris and I fueled up on coffee and breakfast bagels courtesy of Timothys, and headed out driving. We didn't have any major destination in mind. As we drove we saw signs strategically placed along the roadside, including "got soap?"...further down the road there was a u-turn sign advising to turn around if you missed "soap", so we decided to go back, thinking it might be a cool place to visit. We embarked on the Great Canadian Soap Company, where they make handmade goats milk soap. We first stopped to feed the goats:
Chris gets 'up close and personal' with one of them :)
Inside, the owners happily demonstrated how they make the soap, as well as offered everyone a sample of the soap. It was quite neat. We, of course, had to buy a few things there...a few bars of soap later, body cream for me, and two tubs of lip balm, and we were on our way.
Along our travels we noticed road signs pointing out an upcoming petting zoo, so of course we followed. Unfortunately, the owners weren't at home, so we couldn't see all of the animals. There were, however, a few 'in sight', including some horses, pigs, more goats, and a few sheep.
This sheep looked pretty anxious for the owners to return home.
Our drive continued to Savage Harbour ...where we stopped for a few photos:

The boats lined up on the wharf at Savage Harbour.
And this little fella stopped for a photo as we made our way down one of the dirt roads to the beach.
All in all, we drove nearly 200kms, arriving home after dark. It was a great day ... a very welcome return to our "Adventure Sunday" days :)
