Edmonton Getaway

 Since it was our anniversary this weekend, we decided to get away for a bit. 

Although we didn't go far - just a quick 5 hour jaunt to Edmonton - it felt like a mini vacation :) 

Any chance we have to get out of town we jump at. 

Plus, Edmonton provides LOTS of specialty shopping opportunities that don't exist in GP. 

So Mr. A grabbed a bucket of coffee (X-Large at Timmy's), I grabbed an Iced Capp, and we were on our way!

The drive always gives me a chance to start a new knitting project :) 

 Being able to stay with my Aunt and Uncle is a real blessing every time we go down. 

Barry has endless stories to share, Merle cooks gourmet food, and they love our dogs! 

This time around there were five dogs in the house (two of theirs, two of ours, and one of their son's).

We entertained ourselves by riding around in the new Jeep! 

Apparently the top and doors will stay off until Barry stops seeing Motorcycles on the road - if they can be on the road, so can he! lol. 

We took this baby through the drive through at Tim Horton's and got a few funny looks along the way. 10 degrees doesn't seem like the best temperature for the top to be off. Good thing I had my warm coat! 

 And then... for some reason - all the dogs were in the Jeep! 

Endless entertainment! 

Our pups were pretty scared when the car started moving! 

One dog jumped out a bit too early and got left behind... 

 We also got a LOT of shopping done!! 

Tons of good deals on baby things... 

A new anniversary pair of boots for me :) ....

 And a new anniversary lego set for Mr. A :)

Relaxing & successful weekend!
