Mother’s Day Weekend Trip (Day 2 – Part 1)

We got up on our own time and it was lovely. Had breakfast in our room and once we looked amazing we headed to the mall with plans to meet our gal pal Oriana (a friend who had just recently moved out to Alberta).

(We entered from the hotel side and saw the ship almost right away so I insisted on a pic in front because I was impressed!)

Mirelle got used to my camera flashing pretty soon. She had said she wanted it all captured and should no better then to encourage me! Most of this post will be pictures of the touristy stuff in the mall I found interesting.
We hit the old photo booth right away. Stopped to look at the pool but we where far to excited about dressing up in Victorian dresses to want to stop and swim. We also didn’t want anything to carve to much time out of our exploration of the mall time (a.k.a. shopping at as many stores as we could). Oh we had a ball getting all dressed up for the pictures. It is totally oue style! As I stood waiting for Mirelle to be posed by the photographer I swished my skirt and could imagine wearing dresses like that. When the photographers assistant put the big hat on my head I fell in love and would have kept it! I love a good hat!

After a bit of quick shopping we headed up stair to meet up with Ori. It was lovely to see her and after hugs we where quickly back in to shopping mode. I took this picture from upstairs and must tell you I zoomed in. I was not impressed by all the see through railing and was sure to stay back and not look down… I don’t know why people like to feel sick…

(I was impressed by these trees and all the fountains! I am a very easy to please tourist!)

(With Oriana along we enjoyed getting more together pictures! She was very agreeable to us putting her to work, THANKS ORI!)

I don’t think we stopped talking all weekend. From the time we got in the car we kept chatting without need to pause until we where again ten minutes away from home! Ori didn’t seem to mind either! She has mostly horses for neighbors so I think she was just as happy as us to have girl time (or TALKATIVE time). It was funny how much the conversation was about our men; how we love them, met them and plans we have with them for the future… ah Garnet and Garrison where never very far from our hearts and minds:)
