Canada Day, River running, etc.

I'm just getting back to another sloooowwww work week after a long weekend celebrating our wonderful country! Yeay Canada! This time of year is slow at the office, which is both good and bad depending on how you look at it (as is most things really).

Anyway, boyfriend and I enjoyed a quiet weekend taking in local celebratory events along the river here in town. On Sunday we ventured out of town to visit my parents and canoe the mighty Miramichi River. Beautiful as always in spite of the very high water due to the weather spitting buckets of rain ALL OF THE TIME lately. The river usually takes about 3 hours to run from where we started, but not this time. One hour and thirty minutes. We couldn't have gone much faster with an outboard motor.

Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
