A family in Progress

Well I managed to pull it off. Gord turned 30 this past Friday and had no clue that I had planned a weekend camping trip. The irony however was that we both called his boss and asked for the same day off for him. So, he knew he was off, didn’t know I was off nor did he know I booked the day off for him too.

I got up Friday morning and acted like normal - showering and getting ready for work. Just as we were about to head out the door for work, I had Myles hand Gord two cards. One containing floor tickets to Lenny Kravitz - and the other for a reservation for a weekend at Rondeau Provincial Park. It was quite humerus watching Gord put two and two together and finally realizing we were leaving that very day for this camping excursion.

I also managed to keep a cake and have it for desert after dinner at our campsite. I was quite impressed it kept so well.

Rondeau Provincial Park is located in Morpeth, ON - just before Chatham. Upon check in we arrived at our site - which in all honestly was horrible. We ended up with a bunch of kids in their early 20’s all with drinks in hand at 2 in the afternoon. This coupled in with the fact that there was NO shade on this site - gave us the feeling that staying on this site wasn’t going to result in a good weekend. We went back to the office where the gladly allowed us to change sites. Despite the fact that there was little privacy between sites - I have to say Rondeau is one of my favorites.

Rondeau has cottages that are located right within the park, a store equipped with basic needs, to food that could be purchased already made and ICE CREAM - tell me that isn’t heaven???

The hands down favorite for me - and where we spent most of our time was at the Lake. It was simply breath taking and peaceful.

We had an amazing weekend, with great weather - and tons of laughter. This weekend was nothing short of perfect.
