Matt and I escaped this weekend to Prince Edward County (1 hour west of Kingston) for some rest and relaxation and a weekend in the County. Unfortunately, there was lots of rain on Saturday but we made the best of it and were still able to explore this beautiful area. Susan was able to find space for us in her suite at Eleven Center (http://www.bbcanada.com/11200.html) and even though it wasn't too far from home, it was a perfect little getaway.
A highlight was a visit to Fifth Town Cheese, http://www.fifthtown.ca/. "The Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company is privately owned, environmentally and socially responsible enterprise positioned as a niche producer of fine hand made cheeses using fresh, locally produced goat and sheep milk." No soft cheeses for me but Matt was able to try some of their delicious samples and came away with some cheeses for the week.
Capped off the weekend with roasting some baby beets from the Kingston market for lunch tomorrow. Yum!
Overall - the weekend was fantastic and exactly what we needed! Especially since next week will be really busy for Matt as he settles into his new job as College Adjudant. Good thing there is a long weekend around the corner! A
