Last two burgers I tried for PEI Burger Love, the Rising Star from Outriders Cookhouse and the Mediterranean Wonder from Big Burger. The website has closed the descriptions, and Outriders was good but I think I liked the one from Big Burger better. It had a little more spice and a really nice flavours that went together well!

For Christmas, we got tickets for my parents to see Alan Doyle live in concert at Casino New Brunswick. He's one of my parents favourites!
We left here on Friday night after I got home from work. When we arrived, we went to the Comfort Inn where Alyssa and I were staying with Aunt Helen. Mom and dad were staying at the casino hotel!
We got up Saturday, had breakfast and made our game plan. All of us went to the mall together for a bit. Alyssa and I mainly stayed together for a lot of the stores. Mom texted us and told us to meet her at Sears to give her some advice on a dress she picked out for the event. We approved because it was awesome! We also helped her pick out some jewellery at Ardene.
Dad went to Bass Pro Fish Shop, so us ladies had lunch together at Ruby Thai. Since we took two cars to the mall, when dad came back, he and mom and Aunt Helen went to the nursing home to see grandma. Alyssa and I decided to shop around some other places. And we went to Cabela's!
I got a hoodie because I'm cool, okay?
We also went to Party City, which is a REALLY cool store. Alyssa may have been freaking out slightly.
Mom texted us and said they were going back to the hotel/casino for supper and told us to come. The restaurant in the casino is all you can eat buffet... and it took us about 30 minutes to wait for a table! Oh well. It was a surf and turf buffet, which meant crab legs and roast beef! Everything was so good and dessert was also great!
After we ate, Aunt Helen left to take my Uncle Doug to get some things at the store. Alyssa and I watched a movie on TV while mom and dad got ready for the event.
We took some picture with the good looking couple. We also walked with them down to the Molson Canadian Centre (which is in between the hotel and the casino). Everyone looked so lovely! Alyssa and I stood up on a balcony sort of thing and looked at everyone for a few minutes.
So, even though we weren't technically guests at the hotel, we kind of swam in the pool. Oops. But our parents were actual guests, so that counts right?!
After swimming, we wanted to go to Superstore and see if we could find anything cute at Joe Fresh. We didn't, so we got vitamin waters and chocolate bars instead.
We took moms car back to the hotel and Aunt Helen came and picked us up there.
We all watched a bit of Star Trek on TV, then went to sleep. It was a long day, haha.
(The sun set before we went to Superstore)
Also....
MOM AND DAD MET ALAN DOYLE, BY THE WAY!
It made me so happy!!!
Sunday morning, Alyssa and I packed our stuff and we all went to the restaurant in the casino for brunch. It was kind of odd.
"Its Sunday morning and we're eating brunch in a casino..." - Me
I felt bad, but the food was so good!! Oops, again.
After brunch, we all went to the cemetery where my grandfather is buried. He passed away five years ago and this was my first time visiting the grave. (On the day of his funeral, I didn't go the burial, I was too sad).
The stone has a vase that can be put back into it, so we brought some flowers. It was a gorgeous day out, at least plus 16! After we walked a bit, we went to grandmas nursing home in Riverview. Aunt Helen helped her eat lunch and then we sat in her room for a while. We were waiting for the great aunt and great uncle to come visit from Sackville, but they got a little delayed. Helen went to pick up Uncle Doug, so Alyssa and dad and I made a quick trip to Superstore to get road trip snacks. We came back and sat together in a lounge area.
Now, it was going on 2 p.m. and I was getting cranky. Mom and dad decided we would leave at 3. Just as we were about to leave, my great aunt and great uncle showed up. Dad already made the plan to leave so we chatted with them for a few minutes before leaving.
We drove back home where I got to see Winnie and Meeko when we got there! Seeing my "children" made me happy.
I relaxed for a bit and unpacked. Then I went to the church to watch the Worldwide devotional broadcast. It was pretty interesting!
All in all, great weekend with family! :) <3
