Meeting friends at one of our favourite restaurants named Brazen Hall was a fabulous way to launch into spring break. We exchanged several hearty laughs over stories from J & L’s recent trip to Palm Springs. The piping hot Mac & Cheese dish topped with strips of chicken is definitely a crowd favourite and it’s so delicious!
Mundane Monday turned into an endless flurry of excitement for our seven year old niece. Bowling lanes will never be the same and neither will the trip to a familiar chocolate shop where she was introduced to the best Belgian chocolate in the city. Her little Easter basket was filled with eggs however, two little Easter bunnies were quickly wrapped for her little sister and herself. Next, a jaunt to the neighborhood library for a Lego party and an afternoon of reading and drawing mellowed all three of us.
Other days were filled with leisurely time spent reading, walking to a few speciality cafes, casually connecting with friends and taking in an evening of Cannes Best Commercials show. Oh, a couple of evenings we excitedly cheered on our True North Winnipeg Jets Hockey Team to the playoffs.
One of our best evenings was spent at a spa where we literally read for 75 minutes without any iPhones. Mindfulness was absorbed and thoroughly appreciated.
Restful and rejuvenating best describe spring break 2018.
