Summer Lovin'

So I'm a little sad that summer is slowly ending. Normally, I'm no the kind of girl to love summer. I know, I know, growing up in California every girl is a summer girl. Believe me, I loved Summer in California. Rochester however, is a completely different story. You see, we have this thing called humidity in Rochester. In California (where I lived in the South Bay) we had a nice ocean breeze on a hot day. This summer didn't seem to bad for me though. I actually enjoyed all of the hot days! I'm not gonna lie though, Fall is my absolute favorite season and it's fast approaching. I couldn't be more excited.

With Summer slowly coming to an end, we're getting all of our Summer trips under wraps. We went and visited our friends from our Honeymoon, Whore-Hey and Carolina, in Toronto last weekend. We had an absolute blast. I swear to you, all we did was eat, shop and laugh the entire time. It's the kind of laugh that comes straight from your belly so I was sure to be burning some of those amazing calories I was consuming. Our friends are Portuguese and let me tell you, they can COOK. There was not one time during the entire trip that we went hungry. And everything that we ate was AMAZING. Being in Canada, we always try to go to the places that we don't have in the States. Harvey's burger joint was one of them. They served Poutine there! I don't know if you've ever heard of Poutine, but it's a French dish that's very popular. It's just french fries with gravy and melted cheese on top. We figured, eh, let's try it. We're in Canada, let's do it. Let me tell you, I am so glad we did, it was AH-MAY-ZING. So so so good! Look at this yummy goodness:

Doesn't that look so delish?? It was, and you better believe I am going to attempt to make that. Who knows how it'll turn out, probably not as good as Harvey's Poutine, but I am determined.

We did lots and lots of shopping in Canada too. Carolina and Whore-Hey along with their family, were laughing at us because of how much shopping we did. They said "We go to the States to shop and you come here! Why would you want to pay our taxes when you can get it in the States for cheaper?" They do have a good point, but for some reason I feel they have more variety there! The taxes are worth it to me. Even Daniel did some hardcore shopping, and let me tell you, this man HATES/DESPISES/LOATHES shopping. He shopped every day all day the entire weekend! It did help that they had a Bass Pro Shops, something they do have in the States, but it's about an hours drive from us. We got lots and lots of goodies.

On another note, can you believe it's September already??? I love this month, not only because it's my birthday month (I'll be 26 on the 19th! YIKES!) But also because it's always filled with so many fun things! This weekend for Labor Day we'll be going to Seneca Lake at staying at our friend Chris's cottage with his girlfriend Colleen (great friends) and Jenn and her husband Rich as well. The weather looks like it will be somewhat rainy, but hopefully we'll get a few good days of sunshine so we can take the boat out! If you know me, one thing that I love the most is a day on the water. I can seriously spend forever in a boat, a jet ski or even at a cottage BY water. I love love love love water. I love to swim, tan, be pulled on a raft by a flying boat, everything water related is so much fun to me!! So needless to say, I'm beside myself with excitement for this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds out!

That's it for now! I hope everyone has a fabulous Labor Day weekend! Happy end of Summer!
