I think that this past Sunday was one of those days that will stick out in my mind as one of the best days of the summer. Our camping vacation in PEI will def go down in history as our best summer camping trip of 2012, for sure. In fact, I think it's a safe bet to say that it was the best camping trip we've had, since moving back to Ontario. But when I look back over the days of summer, this day.....it was a good one.
We, very very spur of the moment/last minute decided to take in a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game. We didn't have much time to spare by the time we decided to go. Max grabbed his baseball glove and we poured our coffee into travel mugs and away we went. Bought our tickets from a scalper on the street as we were walking from our parking spot to the stadium. Somehow we scored amazing seats. Neither Keith nor I have ever been this close to the field.
The game itself was terrible. I don't even know the final score....something like 10 - 2 for the Texas Rangers. We barely recognized any of the Jays players...most of them seem to be disabled right now. But. The seats we had made it all worth while. Everything is much more interesting when you are sitting so close to the field.
Had I known how good our seats were, I would have lugged my camera with me. Dang! As it was, I left it at home so iphone photos are as good as it gets. It was a beautiful hot and sunny day. We had very nice people sitting around us this time. Which I was so glad about. Of course, there are always a couple of "interesting" individuals thrown in the mix...but no one rude or obnoxious so that was good. The only downpart to the afternoon was that Max was not himself at all. After it was over he told us he had a really bad headache that was just pounding. He slept on the drive home. When we got home, I checked his temperature and it was 100.4. And he had a sorethroat. The poor guy. No wonder he had just sat there and hadn't acted like himself. I felt terrible that he had been feeling so terrible the whole time. He must have come down with it during the game and it just got progressively worse.
As soon as we arrived home, I gave Max some Advil. It didn't take long for it to kick in and he was feeling just fine. Fine enough that he wanted to roast hotdogs, have a campfire and make some s'mores. So that's exactly what we did!
Mmmmm!
A perfect day. Lovely weather and a fun event to attend (minus the fact that our little boy wasn't feeling the greatest) and then skipping out of Toronto (not a fan of that city whatsoever) and getting back home at a decent time to enjoy a lovely campfire (and dinner!) in the backyard. AWESOME! A big thankyou to my VERY AWESOME honey for driving in that crazy traffic and then getting us back home so we could have a relaxing evening to just chill together. AWESOMENESS ALL AROUND!
