mom and me long weekend...

another long weekend was upon us and the weather couldn't have been better. dylan went up to his uncle's cabin with his uncle, brother, and dad for a guys getaway so my mom decided she would come hang out for the weekend. we spent some time at a few of the different man-made beaches that toronto has, shopping, eating a lot of junk (she always comes with a bag full of chips, candy, and chocolate!) and hanging out back at my place reading. it's been just over 3 years since we've had a 'mom and me' weekend  where she sleeps over since that's how long dylan and i have been living together (wow!).

 sugar beach. luckily those clouds were a big, fat lie and it never rained.

an easy breakfast for two on sunday.  

after breakfast, we took a walk down to the harbourfront. 

another man-made beach!

a perfect spot to dip our toes in the sand and read a book for a couple of hours. 

the left side of me got a lovely burn. the right side? still pretty pasty. darn. 

more reading on our balcony, just as a big storm hit when my mom left. 

holiday monday laziness. (everyone seems to have loved this book, but i thought it was terrible. i  was so happy when i finished it.)

when the afternoon sun got too hot, i moved to our more shaded balcony and started the girl on the train. 

just a slight burn, no biggie.

it's always tough going back to work after a long weekend, but i'm lucky that i only have a 3 day week and then we're off for another camping trip on friday morning!
