5 days on "The Rock"

I'm back! And it feels sooo good to be home. As fun as it was to be away and exploring a part of Canada that I've never seen before, nothing beats coming home to your own bed and home cooked meals (thanks mom!).

I could go on and on about how great St. John's was.... The people were nice, the views were spectacular, the food was delicious and the nightlife was something else. But the weather. That was a completely different story. On Friday, we arrived to cold winds and rain (...nothing a trip to Winner's for socks and an extra hoodie didn't solve) and although the temperature got progressively warmer as the days went by, it wasn't until the day we left that we saw clear skies. Figures. So as much as we wanted to go whale and puffin watching, it just wasn't going to happen for us. We did manage to fill our days (and nights) with other stuff though... and lucky for you, we documented all of it ;)

Hoping to take some time this weekend to get some posts lined up for next week and catch up on what everyone else has been up to!

Have a good one, and happy Friday :)
