May Long


While everyone made plans to ditch the city and head out to the lake, I decided to relax and do nothing.

 . . . .

but then something happened

. . . .

I bought this:




Its a Nikon D90 with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105 mm lens.  Sounds fancy hey?  I have no idea what all those letters and numbers mean, all I know is that I have wanted to buy this camera for a long, long while.  I think she's beautiful.

I decided to get out of the city for the day.  It was so spontaneous, I love it!

Can you guess where we went?




Here's another hint:




Yep, we drove to Moose Jaw.  On the drive there we cranked the music and listened to Kings of Leon - why haven't I listened to them before?  I love their music.

We spent the morning at Wakamow Valley (I call it Whack a Mole Valley).




And then we had to stop at the Chocolate Moose Fudge Factory to have some gelato and order some Pumpkin Fudge.




After that we walked around this little pond hidden within a park downtown.  We saw geese and ducks and chatted to other tourists.  It was very special.



And then we soaked in the Hot Springs for a while before heading back on the road.  And I came home tired, and exhausted, and utterly happy.

  1. Nice camera! I've never been to Moose Jaw before and after reading your post I think I should go there! You should get a cut from Moose Jaw Tourism! haha

  2. What!?! You've never been to Moose Jaw?

    *gasps in horror*

    You should go sometime, there are a lot of touristy things to do: Soak in the Hot Springs, go to the spa, go to the casino. It would be great to go as a family, or as a romantic getaway. And its really close to Saskatoon.

    But if you ever go, you must get some fudge.
