Mike and I had an amazing experience this weekend. For tolerating me for four years (good job, buddy!), he booked an overnight stay at the beautiful Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara-On-The-Lake. Wow, been to NOTL dozens of times but never set a paw in that hotel. It was amazing….did I mention”wow?”
There were roses everywhere:
Prior to our dinner and settling into our room, we spent a couple hours walking through the town. I saw this adorable dog walk through the street. I pointed and laughed because he was so gosh-darn adorable with his little coat. The owner gave us treats to feed him:
We toured the town but didn’t buy too much. Regardless, it was a great time. We headed back to the room for around 4:00. We had a dinner reservation for 5:00. We left our room briefly to tour the hotel, and I noticed that Donkay hitched a ride in my pocket. I was shocked. However, he posed perfectly for a few shots:
It was then back to our amazing room to change for dinner noms:
We couldn’t believe how high the bed was. I did my impersonation of my little mother trying to climb up on the bed:
Tee hee! What a beautiful establishment. We went down to the main dining hall for our dinner. It was the Ice Wine Festival just outside on Queen Street. We had an amazing glass of wine pre-dinner noms:
I’m not a big salmon eater (it’s just too strong for my adorable tummy), but I ordered the Arctic Char. We were told it’s like a mild version of salmon, so I gave it a whirl:
It was amazing! Mike had the duck and don’t even get me started on describing that perfection on a plate. We then had dessert. Mike had like 12 layers of “wow, my life sucked until now” cake and I had a great fruit plate:
Holy crud sticks, that was an amazing meal (minus the grossy-gross oysters Mike had as an appetizer. I tried a piece and was very discrete in my non-vomitting response). Like Ewww.
Back to our room, someone came in an put on some nice music, closed the blinds and left a rose on the bed. Yup, this place was a tad classy. Unfortunately we put on the TV and witnessed Trump’s inauguration. The night was a tad tainted at that point (and I threw up a little). After scaling the 7′ bed, we went to bed then woke up to life in the “damn this is awesome” world. We repelled off the bed and got ready for brekkie. Holy cow, that was the best omelette I’ve ever had. I always get an egg white omelette, due to the cholesterol issues in my family. They put Armstrong White Cheddar (I asked our waiter dude to ask the chef what it was) in it….best cheese ever.
What an amazing weekend. We just didn’t want to leave. The beauty was the 25 minutes drive from our places to get there. Can’t wait to go back!
Symptoms for Today: Damn, still trying to come down off of that great weekend. Had to go to Hamilton yesterday for work, then Toronto today. I shall discuss the day today in my next blog!
