How I spent the summer of 2010
A picture tour of some of the highlights and favourite memories of the summer of 2010:
A favourite way to spend a summer night in our newly landscaped backyard! We just didn't do this often enough!

Hot dogs taste best cooked over an open fire and eaten outdoors – slathered in condiments!
Heading to New York – via Amtrak (my favorite way to travel!) – to visit my sister Loreen on Long Island, and drive to Washington, DC with her for the weekend.

The Library of Congress in Washington was on our list of things to see in Washington.

There are lots of profound quotes on the walls in the Library of Congress. This was one of my favourites.
A fellow tourist pressed up against the fence in front of the White House in Washington, with camera at the ready, was sure she saw Obama walk in front of one of the White House windows. I was pretty sure it wasn't him.
The Washington Monument at dusk, seen during our After Dark Tour of the national monuments.

During our whirlwind weekend trip to Washington, we drove out to Mount Vernon to see George Washington's house and garden, but while waiting in line to buy our admission tickets, we decided it was just way too hot and humid to be outside (the Washington area was experiencing record-breaking temps that weekend!). So we hung out in the air-conditioned gift shop for a while, and visited George's estate and house in cool comfort via the gift books and postcards.

On the way back from Mount Vernon, we stopped in Old Town Alexandria where we enjoyed a delicious crab cake sandwich platter at The Fish Market while it poured rain outside.

After watching the play Half an Hour (it was about 35 minutes long!) at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, I enjoyed afternoon tea at the Prince of Wales with my sister-in-law Connie and niece Karly who were visiting from Winnipeg.

The inaugural meal (brunch!) with the new patio furniture – on the new deck.
First time at the Rogers Cup in Toronto with friends Lee and Maddy from Fredericton. We were there to see Rafa Nadal.

What do you do with last few chocolate chip cookies and a few spoonfuls of chocolate chunk ice cream? Make ice cream sandwiches!
Making pizzas (ham and pineapple, and fresh tomato, basil and feta) with Becky, another niece from Winnipeg who visited this summer.
Another trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake! It was a cool, windy day, but Becky and I were determined to carry on with our plans to have a picnic by Lake Ontario.

Empat minggu yang lalu, seorang anak adalah hari berikutnya dan melihat teman-teman kita dan saat kami berjalan di luar kisaran sel, menjaga kita bersama-sama kita nama 45 menit utara dari Big Creek dan APA mengambil packraft Roundup. Sedikit tidak biasa, seperti yang saya digunakan untuk membeli lima tiket lotre di saku saya, ada adalah $ 20. Undian pendek ditumpuk tapi tidak ada penghargaan utama, dan packrafts hanya terus mendapatkan yang lebih baik, Mo dan Amy tahu untuk menyimpan terakhir: Alpack Yukon Oil dengan segala fasilitasnya. 
Dalam waktu (hari ini pagi berusia tiga minggu, Little Bear), ketika aku sudah perahu dayung baru saya dan air itu semua yang diperlukan untuk melihat bahwa tujuh mil dari Alpack seberapa baik perahu yang satu ini. = 
perbedaan yang jelas terlihat, tapi air, sehingga mereka membuat pendapatan jalan baru pada 2015 dayung perahu dengan semua detail kecil lainnya. Kecepatan, percepatan dari jelajah dan tempat-tempat di sepanjang jalan, itu jauh lebih tinggi. Satu-satunya downside bahan batu sedikit lebih berat dan peningkatan kesulitan gigi meskipun kapal baru penuh tua mengambang panjang yang sama. Ski Senior fly kargo dek dihapus dan lebih rumit jika tersangka adalah benar-benar layak berat badan dan meningkatkan kinerja sangat mirip. Untuk menangkap gelombang dan surfing kapal tua dan hanya nol-risiko yang cukup sederhana adalah proposisi rumit. Pusaran air, gelombang dapat dilucuti dari segala sesuatu yang sejalan dengan pengeboran dan kayak, mengangkut hanya cepat dan mudah, tapi itu lebih terkontrol. Tidak seperti perahu singkat Minyak packraft 2015, dengan kecerdasan yang menggabungkan atribut terbaik dari lateral stabilitas dan flotasi ski air.
