Easter Get-away

Easter weekend 2006, Kirsten and I took advantage of the great weather, and the time off from work and headed out to Bonnyville to spend a few days with the "Family Wood". The added news of knowing that the Oilers had finally made the playoffs helped me to decompress - partially... But, the time spent out-of-town took care of the rest. Just 2 1/2 hours north east of Edmonton, the family acreage is what I'd consider an oasis of comfort. There, you can sleep in late and no one will rouse you. You can relax in front of a huge flat screen televsion and watch news, movies and sports all you like. You can go for hikes along the surrounding trails or around the nearby lakes. And after all of that you can eat yourself silly and get into a good deep converation on world politics. It was fantastic.



Attached are two quick shots I took, one of Kirsten and her mom (Patti) checking the horses, and the other of the sweet-bread (PASKA) that we baked on Friday night (Even I tried my hand at it)
