Happy 2014!!!!
Last year we went up north for a few days around NYE as a last minute kind of thing... This year, with a bunch of our friends, we figured we had so much fun last time that we actually planned in advance and booked a place at least three weeks beforehand.
It's so pretty and serene in Northern Ontario... We got to enjoy the natural beauty and just relax. By relax, I mean we hung out and watched Discovery Channel and Criminal Minds for hours... And ate a lot of food. Bliss.
I feel like I had my 'up north' training wheels on last year, I had to borrow layers and clothes because the cold and the snow is a different beast from what we deal with here in Hamilton*. This year it was even snowier and colder than last year but I was so prepared that I wanted to high five myself. I brought a lot of plaid (obviously because it is so rugged and stuff), all my toques, my newly thrifted snow pants and thermal sweater and the snow boots that Matt searched a few Canadian Tires for. With my own legitimate snow pants and snow boots, I could frolic in the snow and when I fell on my tailbone down an icy hill, the layers cushioned the fall.
When I wasn't snow frolicking or watching tv marathons, I even managed to be warm and kinda fancy for a trip into town thanks to this vintage coat. The coat was supposed to go in the shop but it had a mark on the suede that I couldn't get out. That little bit of damage was just enough to ease my conscience about keeping the coat for myself...


*except right now because we are in a major cold snap... I'm wearing a sleeping bag to work for now.

I've never been to Northern Ontario but I can absolutely get behind a getaway in the country featuring Criminal Minds marathons and snow-frolicking.


Also, love the coat! That strange black mark worked in your favour!

Sounds like a wonderful NYE, I did basically the same thing (minus the snow frockling here in Toronto) Northern Ontario is always so pretty. Love the plaid with the sequence - warm and festive!

Robin- Um... I think we were at a little 'resort' (basically we rented a cottage out of a few available) near Minden. About 45 min. from Gravenhurst...
