Blog Summer19

So you're probably thinking... is it just me, or did she miss a day blogging. Well, that's right. Yesterday was my last day at Sunshine Coast and unfortunately, I was so busy, I couldn't blog. From the moment I got up, I was busy until the moment I went to sleep. (Which by the way, wasn't a good sleep because my 2 mosquito bites were driving me crazy!) So lets start from the beginning! Yesterday, when I woke up, my parents and grandpa were already long awake. I was the last one to sleep that night, so I would have thought I would have woken up the latest. But for some reason, my brother was sound asleep, beside me. By the time I was finally out of bed, he was still sleeping, and he looked so peaceful, so I just let him doze off. (Don't worry, Tuffy was looking out for him.) For breakfast, mom had cooked up some more noodles, so we each had some noodles with last night's dinner. We were to return the key to the house by 11am, and by the time I finished eating, it was just about 9am. My brother woke up a little after that.

Anyways, by the time we had finished packing up and cleaning the house, and double checking that everything was in the car, we went out to the beach one last time. It was just so pretty! I noticed that during the morning, it's low tide, but in the evening, around sunset, it's high tide! I also noticed that on the beach, there were loads of little baby crabs. And when I mean a lot, I mean A LOT. Come to think of it, it's actually kinda gross... So as I was saying, we went down to the beach one more time where my mom took a couple more pictures and my brother and I gathered a few more pretty sea shells and then we went back to the cottage. There, my brother and I played our last few games of Happy Suit Case (a card game) and everyone else just relaxed on the soft sofas. Finally, when it was around 11am, we went to the cottage owner and returned the key to him.

I still really miss the Garden Cottage, but at least we were lucky enough to spend 4 days and 3 nights there! So when we left Roberts Creek (the location of the Garden Cottage), we went to Sechelt where we walked around the beach and then went into town for the last time. There, we had lunch at a beautiful Greek restaurant called Daphne. I thought the lunch at Daphne's was really great. The service was amazing, our server, was really kind, smiled a lot and just gave off a really happy vibe. I also liked the design of the inside of the restaurant. It looked really Greek, and there was a spectacular mural on the wall about who Daphne was, and why the restaurant was name after her. The story was actually really interesting too! (I love Greek myths!) I had the souvlaki wrap with chicken and mixed greens, my brother had an 8 oz cheese burger with fries, my mom had the mushroom caps with toast, my dad had the Caesar salad and my grandpa had the special of the day which was a turkey breast sandwich with the soup special. Another reason I loved Daphne's so much was the kitchen. It was an open kitchen, and you could see them preparing the food. Very cool. I saw them grill up my brother's burger.

After looking around at Sechelt, we drove over to Gibsons where the ferry terminal was. I can't truly describe the ride there because both my brother and I went fast asleep. But once we woke up, we both got gelatos and ate them as we walked around Gibsons. My brother got cookies 'n cream and chocolate mint in a cup and I got strawberry and cookies 'n cream in a waffle cone. Personally, I love gelatos and ice cream, so I enjoyed this a lot. So after a while, we checked into the ferry terminal and after about 30 minutes, we were able to board the ferry.

When we finally got back home, it was about 5pm. After putting all the clothes into the laundry basket and putting everything else back to it's original spot, it was approximately 6pm. Since the last time we ate something was around lunch time, we were getting pretty hungry and tired. Mom didn't really want to cook, so instead, we went out for dinner. We went to a nice Chinese restaurant we are very familiar with, and the food there practically tastes like home food, so it was all good. After 4 days of eating other foods, it felt good to eat at a familiar place with familiar food. I'm not saying that I didn't like the food we ate over the trip, because I loved that food, but it's always good when you eat something you know you love. When we got back home, I felt so stuffed, I couldn't eat anything else. So after reading for a while, I took a bath and then went on to practicing piano.

My random thought/statement of the day: I can't believe that it's back to school in less than a month!

Toddlez!
