Amish Paradise!

Sorry it took me so long to post about my Amish adventure! But better late than never - so here I am - ok let's begin....
Friday 3:30pm - My mom, Dan, my Aunt Karen and I pile into the car and set out for St.Jacob's. My aunt and I decide (since we're in the back seat) that this would be a good opportunity to harrass Dan. So we came up with a list of questions to ask him throughout the drive (Are we there yet? How much farther? Where are we? Are we lost? When are we eating? and so on.) As we're going along we break out the tunes - I brought about 50 cds with me so we had lots of selection - we rocked out to the Police, Queen, Coldplay - it was great.
6:30pm - We arrive in Cambridge - we're hungry - we go for dinner. It was quite the ordeal - they weren't overly busy - but our food took about 45 mins to get to us - so we had the Manager of the place serve us our meal when it was done - and he was quite chatty - he stayed and talked to us for like 5 mins -but I was hungry so I ate and nodded every now and then - but because we had to wait for so long - we got 50% off our meals - sweet deal!!
8:00pm - We got to the Cambridge outlet mall - I was rather excited only to be rather dissapointed. The stores weren't all that great - but I did get a new cover for the futon that Kim and Nikki gave me - it's black - so it looks much better than the green lol.
9:30-10pm - We arrive in Waterloo at our hotel - which I navigated us to since I was the only one who could read in the dark lol - so we got in and the room was about as big as our room in Brampton - so it was ok - but my aunt wanted to go for a smoke so I went with her so she wouldn't have to be alone and we saw what we later claimed to be a drifter and contemplated inviting him up for a good time lol. And we think that there was a strip joint across the street (classy place this is) so we also contemplated going over there and becoming the newest members for the nite - u know make some extra cash for the market...but we didn't - thought my parents might frown upon it.
11:30pm - go to bed.
Saturday 4:30am - wake up due to snorring all around me...my aunt and I both woke up at the same time and layed in bed listening to my parents snore away...good times.
5:30am - decided enough was enough and got out of bed. My mom was all - who are u and where's my kid. But I was showered and ready to go at 6:15 - oh yeah.
6:30am - Karen and I were downstairs ready for breaky - I ordered apple juice and I got orange juice - she ordered coffee and got it cold. Good start. So my parents got down and Dan and I were all over the buffet and then my mom and aunt ordered off the menu...but what they neglected to tell us was that the buffet didn't start until 8 - it was like 7 - so Dan got a little mad and we ordered off the menu...but didn't get any discount whatsoever - lousy meal yes lol. But that didn't damper the spirits - it was off to see the Amish!
9am - Got to St.Jacob's farmer's market - this thing is HUGE!! We went down the produce isle first and it was a frenzy of chaning money for goods - I think my parents spent like $200 in a matter of minutes - and after I caught my breath from that we did the flea market type thing. It was really cool - so many different vendors - I got a belt and a watch - everyone else got so much stuff! It was crazy - by the time we were done the car couldn't hold anymore stuff - the trunk was weighed so far down. Now as for Amish sightings...I had a few - there was a cute little boy all dressed in the traditional clothing - and a couple families - but other than that there were no horses or carriages or anything...so rather dissapointing -and no pictures either - I thought it would be rude - being as it was like a shopping place.
12:00pm - we get to downtown St. Jacob's and go through all the different stores and bakeries - very nice - all the stores are in the old silos and barns - very cool!
2:00pm - we hit the road to go home - but on the way spot a mall and stop in - but we were all so tired we were there for like half an hour and were like- we're all broke and tried - let's go home. and go home we did.
3:30pm - they spot their favourite store - we must stop - and stop we did and somehow put another $100 worth of food in the car...no idea how. lol
4:00pm - falling asleep...but then I get Tim Horton's and I'm all awake again - so it was good.
5:00pm - Get home, unload goodies, tell Garrett and Katie (his girlfriend) stories - then veg out and sleep really good. lol

That was my Amish expereince! It was very cool and next time I go I'm gonna make them go through the little villages so I can see how the Amish live.

Ohh...Nikki - you should never pay for "Crap Cakes" just so u know for next time....lol - gotta love typos. Glad u guys had fun!! :D
