Mill-ion Dollar Weekend

This past weekend Shauna and I gave a big middle finger to winter and took off for Mill River Resort in western PEI. We were hoping for a weekend of relaxing around the (indoor) pool...unfortunately the place was crammed with families, who of course took over the pool like packs of locusts. But, no matter, we had a good time, starting with the tubing hill:




Then later that day we took a trip to North Cape, the northwestern tip of the Island, where there is a crapload of windmills:



And things are sexy in that icy-dirty kind of way:



Basically, it's a real beach vacation in PEI:



So we hung out at the resort for awhile, ate good food, drank more wine than necessary, turned our noses up at all the bratty kids, that type of thing. It was beautiful again the next day, and we decided a snowshoe through the woods in Millvale was in order. Mill River, Millvale, no relation to each other, more than an hour away from each other, but whatever. First we went home and got Bru, because Millvale is pretty much his favourite place on Earth. It's, like, better than a thousand unattended kitty litters in his mind, to the point where jumping photos are in order:



I'll let Bru take it from here, at The Bru Blog.

That looks like so much fun I almost miss the cold weather. *Almost*. - Marianne
