A stranger in this town

So Tuesday I had the entire day off work on account of working this coming Saturday. It turns out that Lana, too, had the day off. It was a beeeauuutiful day, so we took advantage of our good fortune to play "tourist". We started out with a lovely lunch at Mavors. I had the chicken & brie sammich on a wrap with roasted potatoes. Delish! On our way to the powder room to freshen up after lunch (read: wash the stickiness that was our fingers after our "juicy" chicken & brie sammichs exploded all over them), we were absolutely delighted to happen upon the Disco Cirque displays inside the Confed Centre, and stopped for an impromptu photo shoot (and I've been singing Abba in my head ever since).

From there, with full bellies and cameras in hand, we embarked upon the streets of Charlottetown. We looked like tourists...even asked, "Where are you visiting from?", by the tour guide situated by Victoria Row. We spotted a few of the mice, met a few Fathers of Confederation, sampled local chocolate treats and soaked in the wonderful sunshine, all the while documenting moment by moment digitally for future scrapbook pages and embarrassing Facebook photos. From there, we then took a quick stop into the Humane Society, both almost coming home with multiple cats, and then met Lana's "summer daughter", Gabreyelle, at the Adventure Group, and the three of us headed to Jewell's for an ice cream. The intent was then to bbq some burgers for supper but our ice cream had filled us to the point that we really only needed popcorn for "supper" when we got to the movies.

Loaded up with a plethora of tissues, we headed to see My Sister's Keeper. Having both read the book, we knew we'd need the tissues. I joked that Lana would be the one to sniffle through all of them, but as it turns out the stakes were fairly even between the two of us! Despite the heart-wrenching storyline, it really was a good movie (if'n every now and then you crave a good cry, you'll like it all the better). For those who have read the book, the ending is completely different -- both are equally good in story, however.

After our good cry we raced back to my place to catch Big Brother. A full day off, indeed. Thank you my lovely. You're a fine date.
