So... I had a few days to settle in at home after Osoyoos. Then there was our Canada Day party (more on that later), and to add to my stress levels and back ache *I desperately need to see my chiropractor* we drove out of town to J's dads place.

Now you have to understand J's dads place isn't exactly the most enjoyable place on earth. It's more of an obligatory visit than anything. So J worked all day friday and I packed, we drive for 2.5 hrs at 140km, just to get to this joke of a farm thing and have a few beers before bed.

But here are some shots from along the way.


So after driving way out of our way, we find out that J's dad has to work a 12 hour day the ONLY day we're there to put in our obligatory 'visit' time, and we'd have the wonderful opportunity to hang out with his redneck 'beat you up in a bar' wife. -_-

I couldn't tell if I was insulted or relieved, but it's still a faux paux when guests are visiting. I understand that getting time off can be a pain but he'd told us he would take it off. ugh! So we spent the day getting drunk off cheap beer, playing wii & avoiding the pet pig rosey who 'owned' the yard. Yes, they have a pet pig who's nearly 200 pounds. I can't seem to find the pictures of Rosey on my computer, but that's probably for the best.

So I'm left with a frustrated feeling, an entirely lost weekend, "wii arm" and it's back to the daily grind. Grrrreat.
