Been, gone, back

By in a good day, love, we have fun

We just got home from a quick vacation before Shannon’s surgery leaves him (potentially) incapacitated. We drove up to Ottawa, spent the night in a fun hotel with an indoor waterslide with Shannon’s brother, sister-in-law and their 3 kids in the next room. The next night Ari stayed with her cousins at their newly re-built (and beautiful) old/new home and we stayed at an uber swank hotel way up on the 23rd floor with a gorgeous view of Ottawa. Wednesday the three of us drove up to Lake Dore and swam at the same beach we went to last year. Then drove to Belleville, staying at the Ramada with the super good waterslide for 2 nights and doing some exploring of secret beaches with ghostly light houses on the county.

    Damn that lighthouse is in swell condition given it’s age and proximity to the salt air! Like it’s waiting… Poor thing.

    Salt air! It’s on Lake Ontario, that shit’s fresh, man!

    Ahhhh, still suprisingly upright. Here in humid-as-breath Alabama it’d be in a ruinous state or not there at all.
