Easter weekend - mmm
Apr. 9th, 2007 10:20 amI had a busy, but very nice Easter weekend.
On Friday, gabriel_le and I went up to my parents' cottage. We'd snowshoed in a few weeks ago, but had (unfortunately) forgotten to pack our garbage out. So, we wanted to retrieve the garbage before the weather got too warm, and the garbage stank up the cottage. We were able to drive most of the way in to the cottage, though the roads were a bit dicey. We had a nice hike while we were up there, then drove back to the city.
We found concordantnexus and raynedaze at my place when we got back to town, so while raynedaze did some art, we played Puerto Rico with concordantnexus. Then the 4 of us went out for food at one of the East African restaurants on Rideau St. (the less expensive of the two).
After dinner, gabriel_le and I cuddled in front of a fire. Mm.
Saturday, we went off to gaming at con_girl's place. Though the idea of playing Credo was much talked about (due to it being Easter and all), it never actually happened. We did have a large turn out for gaming, including 3 Toronto folk up visiting Ottawa for Easter weekend. I ended up playing Set, Tikal, Power Grid, My Dwarves Fly, Tsuro, and Amun Re.
On Sunday, I went hiking in Gatineau park with iclysdale. We did about 2-2.5 hours (depending on how you count the puttering around with cameras at the ruin). It was good to get out of the city, and get some exercise in. Ian managed to put his foot through the ice into Meech Lake, but withdrew it quickly enough to avoid getting too wet.
Then, I picked gabriel_le up from pezchica & scubajim's place and we went over to my parents' place for dinner. My sister (J, from Montreal) was in town, and dinner was a chance to get together with her, and to eat the yummy food that my mom cooks. We had a nice dinner, a bit of after dinner socialization, then home again for some more snuggling and talk.
Yes, a yummy weekend. :)
