Moncton Weekend

Moncton was fun!! We ended up making a weekend of it, the only problem was there was an antique car show and a huge soccer tournament so we couldn't find a decent a hotel. We ended up getting a family suite at the Coastal Inn. Was the WORST place I've ever stayed. Gross and smelled like stale smoke; service was horrible.

We spent a few hours at the zoo, which was awesome - all kinds of exotic anmials and tons of fun stuff if you're a kid! Checked into the hotel and then headed over to Champlain Place to browse the shops. Had supper at Swiss Chalet and then back to the hotel for a swim and some time in the sauna. Yesturday morning we had a disgusting breakfast in the hotel's restaurant (shoulda went up the road to Smittys or Coras) and headed back to NS. We ended up taking a detour over to Parrsboro where our friend Matt's parents camp seasonally. Had a quick visit and were back in the city by 6:00.

Foodwise did the best w/ the options available, am way up on the scale this morning but think a week of good eating and h20 will balance eveything out. We probably spent a good 3-4 hours walking around Saturday so I'm not that worried.

Overall was a great weekend w/ lots of laughs! I did end up w/ a really bad sunburn though and a bit of a dip into the credit cards.... a well such is life!

I took the day off b/c I'm not really feeling well, think I got too much sun. Been laying in bed w/ my lap top and just chatting on the phone.
