Happy Canada Day!! This year was the first year in four that Chris wasn't working. We slept in, went into town to do a few errands, had fries out of a fry truck, stopped in at the park to see some of the Canada Day festivities (including seeing a number of people we hadn't seen in ages), and we hung out for a bit with Matt & Nicole at our place. Matt & Nicole were pretty beat, so they left at about 8pm. For a while, it looked like we might skip out on the fireworks. At about 9:30pm our grumbling bellies forced the decision that food was our priority, and on our way to get food, Chris made the spontaneous decision to go straight instead of heading into town, and we ended up parked on a cottage lane in Cornwall, across the water from Victoria Park. We parked, sat & snuggled on the tailgate of the Element, and had a perfect view of the fireworks! Since Chris had the forethought to park backwards, on the other side of the road, we were able to be one of the first cars out of there, too, beating all traffic. We ended up at Pizza Delight in Cornwall for a late supper, then landed home to crash. It was a pretty quiet Canada Day, but it was still a memorable one. Hope you all enjoyed your own day, celebrating what a wonderful country we live in! Happy 144th Birthday, Canada!
*crappy photo from Chris' iPhone -- sooo far away from the action, but we saw them all. It was way more romantic cuddled up on the tailgate than fighting traffic from town back home :).
