Aileen and Jurg are finally here and staying with us. We dropped off Tatlim at Amanda's mom's house yesterday afternoon after much tidying of the house. Tatlim was stressed but we managed to stay a few hours with her to get her acquainted with her new surroundings. We then went to Fressen for a really nice dinner, one hint, don't bother with the vegan caesar if you appreciate a real caesar.
We went to pick up Aileen and Jurg's luggage at the hotel afterwards, we're so glad we'v got the new CRV, the 9 PIECES of luggage just fit. We settled in and caught up at home, it was so nice to start our vacation.
Sunday...
We grabbed breakfast at Bagel Stop then headed down to the Beach. It was such a hottttt day, the sun was just blaring. Lots of people at the beach and checked out a few neat stores. We had dinner at the Distillery after some more shopping but what an experience that was. The servers were in space and messed up our orders, and when asked about which burger was which, the waiter had the audacity to open up both burgers with his filthy hands, MANAGER, COME OVER HERE NOW, WE'VE GOT A FEW ISSUES OVER HERE. The food was good and the beer was delish, unfortunate to have had to deal with a few dimbos who's replies to MSG was "most things now have MSG in it", UNACCEPTABLE for any restaurant, especially at the Distillery!!! On the way back from dinner, we happened to have driven by a closed off Church Street and the Fetish Festival was happening, got a few interesting shots but the spirit was GREAT, everyone was just having fun and living it up. Gotta go to bed now but will for sure post some pics when I get a chance. Going to wine and dine some more tomorrow in Niagara. Keep posted for more...
