Successful Saturday

Tom and I woke up early yesterday morning in the hopes of accomplishing a whole list of things to do before we head to Kentucky on Wednesday.

I will note that as of Wednesday of this past week Tom returned our Rogers cable box and cancelled our cable. Not only will we save quite a large chunk of money because of this, but we will save time too as we won't be so easily distracted from our other tasks and obligations.

Our day started as we headed out to the intersection of Northfield and Weber to await the start of the Ride for Dad parade of motorcycles. The event is a charity ride to raise funds for the battle against prostate cancer. Tom and I rode in the parade and participated in the poker run last year but due to our busy schedule this year we opted to watch instead. Its quite an awesome site to see all the bikes together. We even met a friendly police officer who was directing traffic at the intersection.

He also told us that an estimated 1,200 motorcycles participated in this year's event. It was actually just over 1,000 but still up from last year's 800+. A few other people came out to catch a view of all the motorcycles. The parade lasted a good 20 minutes if not more.

After the parade was complete we went to CAA to get our travel insurance for our Kentucky trip. We obtained a travel guide for Kentucky and picked up one for Vermont so we can review it before our honeymoon in October.

Following our trip to CAA we headed to St. Jacobs to the Brittles N More chocolate store to review options for our wedding favours. We may have a few ideas but are going to wait to hear back from the store with further details. We left our contact information with them so should probably hear something in the coming weeks.

The afternoon consisted of me attending a hair appointment that I had scheduled with my awesome hairstylist Jenny.

All dressed up and ready to go.

While I was gone Tom was able to successfully install the Vista Cruise on our motorcycles. This will be a welcome addition to our bikes for the trip to Kentucky as we will actually be able to rest our throttle hands once in awhile during the long trek.

Putting the finishing touches on a job well done.

We received a call from Mike shortly after we were done with the bikes. He and Kim were making dinner and wondered if we wanted to join them. We did so - great pork chops and a banana fluff type dessert were enjoyed. We all sat down to watch the movie He's Just Not That Into You. It was a cute one. Once over, Tom and I headed home for the evening feeling satisfied that we had been pretty productive over the course of the day.
