Pretty Prince Edward County: Part Two

EEEEEK!  I posted 'Part One' of this trip a couple weeks after we went on it.

That was August.

It's now November.

B.L.U.R.G.H.

I went back to work in September and apparently when I work, I forget about writing, my blog and generally everyday life.

So before I tell you about the rest of our PEC weekend (aka the weekend we got fat), I should tell you why my job takes over my life.

I am super lucky to co-host and co-produce two television shows.  One is a segment called The Wedding Belles and the other is brand spanking new and it's called The Proposal.




Okay, now that I have plugged myself back to Prince Edward County.

Urm, I can only remember a <bit> of what we did the next day (not because I was hungover or anything but because it was 3 months ago).

Our first stop was Lake on a Mountain which is literally a lake on a mountain (that part not so literal - I feel it was more like a hill).  Which is a lake made of thousands of years worth of rain water up on a hill rising above the other lake.

And the resort a cluster of stone cottages that I feel might be slightly cuter than Merland.  Unfortunately they are not pet friendly.  So we'll just look at the outside.






Then to one of my favorite stops:  The County Cider Company.

Why do I love this place?  It's cute.  It's dog friendly.  It has GREAT cider.  Jazz in the vineyard.  And the food is full of cheese.

 I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.











One more stop at the beach and then time for ice cream from Slickers because no hot August weekend is complete without ice cream and off home!










There are other stops I really wanted to make.  Like The Grange but alas they had just closed as we pulled up.







So we left Prince Edward County as the sun was slowly setting.  In my rear view mirror I saw the golden light dancing on the farm fields and making the windows of old barns shine and sparkle.

Now that winter is upon us, I think it's time for another trek back to PEC.  Imagine all those fields and barns covered in a blanket of snow, a fireplace with real wood, and a mug of hot chocolate and a good book!

YES PLEASE!!
