Our week at the cottage

Beautiful Breakfast every morning overlooking the beach

200 feet of beach front

Coffee, DVD's, and lot's of time to relax!

Kick Ass Coffee in the press.

In memory of the Vancouver Olympics

A Kodak moment at the lighthouse. 

Let's see how this turns out:  never used a charcoal grill to BBQ salmon before, didn't know how long it would take, dinner was late!  We almost decided to just turn on the oven in the house and cook it there as we were 40 minutes past when we planned to have dinner.  The charcoal brisquits were finally starting to ember and without knowing how long it should grill for we decided to try it anyways.  We are both very satisfied that we stuck with the plan.

Charcoal grilled Salmon is by far the greatest tasting salmon we both have tried.
With homemade Fetticini pasta and spicy Alfredo sauce which Lissa experimented with.  This was also perfect!

6:00AM we woke up to a cricket chirping very loudly
in our cottage.  While searching we found it behind the stove.
The bugger stopped chirping as soon as the
counter was pulled awayand he could be seen.  

Kayaks were provided and once Lissa got convinced to try
it, she was sold.  What an amazing time we had, until we tried to
kayak across the bay to the local beach and hit white cap waves which tossed us onto the beach that nobody was on.  We found out why: it was covered in sludge and bird poop.  Once we got back into the water Lissa was so determined to get home I could barely catch up with her.  She was paddling with authority, determination and adrenaline strength. I understand she was mortified.  Other then this terrible experience, the kayaks were still a blast, as long as we stayed clear of that disgusting beach.

Two full dishes of butter chicken!!!!!  Home made Naan bread.  The wine is one of our favourites as well.  It is  called Masi Campofiorin.  

Had to go apple picking since we were right on the apple trail.

Notice Lissa's hat.  Perfect for working hard under
the sun during harvest season.

Literally 2 minutes and we filled a small basket.
The trees were packed with apples.

Charcoal BBQ homemade burgers with smoked bacon.
We ate very well the week at the cottage.

Yep I'm reading

Beautiful wife, homemade cookies, Coffee
and enough citronella candles to keep all those gross bugs away!

Our last night at the cottage.
