Our plan was to grab breakfast at one fast food place on our way out of Edmonton. The Fantasyland hotel did not have the free breakfast and we figured, to save time, we'd grab breakfast and go. This proved harder than we had thought. Firstly, our GPS in the van was not as up to date on the new roads so we ended up going towards St. Albert. If you aren't familiar with the area, St. Albert is to the northeast of Edmonton and we were trying to go west. Our next problem was, there were absolutely NO restaurants along our route- fast food or otherwise. We spent an hour getting out of Edmonton and getting gas and breakfast in Spruce Grove. At 930, we were on our way!
The drive was pretty boring. There was some construction. At Valleyview Esso, the gas pumps were out of order so we just stopped and used the washrooms.
We arrived in Grand Prairie just after 130 and drove to the mall. We found Melanie, Chris, Fraser and Tanner in the food court. We hadn't seen them in over 2 years and the boys had grown so much!
We spent a couple of hours shopping in the mall with the Dumonts. And then we headed to the hotel about 430. Our room was really nice at the Pomeroy Inn and Suites.
Everyone but Melanie and Kerri went swimming as soon as they got to the hotel. While everyone was swimming, Kerri and Melanie caught up on what had been happening. They also realised they had been friends for 31 years- long time to know each other for. They also ordered pizza and wings for dinner.
The rest of the evening was spent eating pizza, chatting, laughing and having fun! At 11pm, it was time for us to say goodbye as the Scholz Family was going to leave very early in the am. Big hugs all around.
