Incredible Weekend

We had a wonderful and full weekend.

I had meetings in Oakville on Friday and so Irene and I drove up and stayed in a hotel close by Thursday night.

Following my meeting Friday afternoon we were able to drive to Hamilton and meet up with Camille and take her out to dinner. She chose a place we had never heard before called "Turtle Jack's".

We each had lovely meals that varied from Pad Thai, BBQ Chicken Wings and Broccoli Cheese soup.

Ready to enjoy our chose meals

For dessert we shared two of their special desserts - Deep Fried Cheesecake and Fire & Ice - the Fire and Ice is a fried ice cream in some form of cinnamon covered crispy shell. Both were VERY good.

And afterwards we got our little "Turtle Jack's" candy to enjoy on the way out.

...notice the little turtle!!

After we dropped off Camille we then went to the Bayview Chapel to pick up Andrew from a youth dance. Then it was back to his place to catch up on things, receive Mother's Day and Birthday gifts and crash for a well derserved sleep.

The next morning Andrew had a Youth Temple Baptism trip and we were planning to go to. So we left by 8:30am to head for the temple.

It was great to see President Ed Baxter with his son, Greg, who was being sealed to his wife to be. It was a lovely sunny day considering all the rain we've been getting lately.

THEN...we hope you are keeping up with the itinerary...we drove downtown and dropped Andrew off for him to go by GO train to Oshawa.

We had the good fortune to have tickets bought through my Aeroplan points to see the musical, "The Lion King". It was magnificent with the incredible use of live performers and integration of puppetry, wonderful singing and choreography, and such a well thought out way to portray what was once just an animated movie .
