Anthony and I at the harbour.
Our day started at 4:30am Winnipeg time with us airport bound in a cab by 5:15. Someone (me) was silly enough to suggest we take the 6:50am flight. It worked out to benefit us as we had landed at the Lester B. Pearson airport at ten after ten and had a whole day of touring around ahead of us.
When we landed we immediately headed to my boyfriends parents new house in Oakville to take a tour and drop off our luggage. The new place is beautiful and so different from their previous home in Winnipeg. It has a very regal and elegant feel (even with all the boxes of their things still all over - they have only been there a week!).
After dropping our bags we did a little touring of the neighbourhood and we went to this amazing bakery! It's like this little bustling hub of energy and Italian goodness. Everything you want, they've got....pastries, cold cuts, fresh vegetables, every type of pasta you can imagine, and fresh cooked foods so you can grab lunch on the go. If you are EVER in, or near Oakville you need to check out Monastery Bakery and Delicatessen.

After a well deserved lunch break we resumed touring of the town and went down to the harbour front to take a look around and grab a coffee. The place reminded me of Gimli with all the sailboats and yachts docked and the fishy lake smell.
Much to my surprise we ended up going to the Oakville Place Mall and Anthony and I headed directly for H&M. He found a couple of great classic pieces, a pair of navy pants and a grey henley and I found a pair of beige-brown cropped pants and a beige and blue striped skirt (for SEVEN dollars!).
After a day packed full of travel, visiting, and shopping Anthony and I are ready to hit the hay! Who knows what's in store for day 2.
