We got up and had a nice breakfast then we all hopped in the car and drove up to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baddeck.com\/\" target=\"blank\">Baddeck<\/a>.  We just walked around and had a look in all the little craft\/gift shops. Went for a drive around the bay. It was a nice sunny day but kind of windy so the air was still chilly.  Later we drove up to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gaeliccollege.edu\/\" target=\"blank\">Gaelic College<\/a> to have a look around and visit their gift shop.After our driving around and bit of sight seeing we stopped at a restaurant out near Seal Island called The Ceder House. My family used to go there all the time when I lived in Canada.  They are only open during the summer months and are so popular that usually when you go, you have to stand in line outside waiting for a table.  It was soooo good!  Xander loved it there too, I figure we&#8217;ll prob go back at least once before we leave.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner we came home and just hung around feeling stuffed.  Mom and I watched that damn <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/\" target=\"blank\">American Idol<\/a>.  I never watched the Dutch Idol back home and we didn&#8217;t get Canadian or American Idol so I never watched this show there.  So the other night mom got me to watch &#8220;Disco Night&#8221; for American Idol and I thought it was pretty good, I found myself calculating who I think should stay.. and who should go.<\/p>\n<p>I think <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/jasmine_trias\/index.htm\" target=\"blank\">Jasmine<\/a> should have been kicked off last night, without a doubt! I saw her on the show for Disco Night and I absolutely hated her.  Not only could she not sing for shit but the whole oh boo hoo vote for me crap just.. ugh!!!<\/p>\n<p>America .. you are BONEHEADS for kicking off <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idolonfox.com\/contestants\/latoya_london\/index.htm\" target=\"blank\">La Toya<\/a>.  It just goes to show that I was absolutely right about these shows in the first place.  It&#8217;s just a big popularity contest that has nothing to do with their musical talent <em>whatsoever<\/em>!  Just millions of horny teenage boys across America voting for the one thing think is hot.  Dumbass show..<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I&#8217;ll still watch for the rest of the time I&#8217;m here.. If that Jasmine wins I&#8217;m going to lose all faith in the collective intelligence of the American public.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8217;m not going to be getting my DL while I&#8217;m home. It costs like $50 or something and since we&#8217;re not moving back here till this time next year, it seems pointless to get it now when I won&#8217;t even be here for the next year.  I get 3 years after my DL expires to renew it before I have to retake the test, so I said screw it. I&#8217;d rather spend the $50 on some new T-shirts or something.<\/p>\n<p>Today.. I shop!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was our 4th anniversary and it was such a great day.
