Although I've been in Canada for three years now, I have yet to properly celebrate Canada Day. Luckily, this year I had armed myself with the perfect partner in crime to conquer this feat... My friend Ricki and I met up at my place, got all dressed up, and then headed downtown to the lakefront to enjoy the festivities...but when we arrived, there were not festivities to be found! There was maybe one food truck, a couple stands along the boardwalk, and not live music...it was extremely disappointing. However, not to be discouraged, we continued our journey, grabbed some overly priced burgers, took a photo of a beaver, and then head back to my place. Once we got home, we whipped out the jell-o shots, went to a movie, and then came back to lounge around the house listening to the fireworks. Overall it was a great day, but definitely not what we had planned. Maybe next year, I'll finally get the 'Canadian Experience' that I've been hoping for!
