I don’t know about you but I ♥ surprises & I ♥ giving surprises as well.   I picked Paul up from work on Friday and we started to drive to the grocery store but I could not keep the surprise to myself any longer so I pulled over and made him open the trunk.  It was full of camping gear that I bought just for his birthday!  Needless to say he had a huge smile on his face.  Saturday morning we were up at 5am and driving out of the city with coffee in hand to La Mauricie National Park of Canada.  Now the beautiful thing about our little camping trip was that we had to rent a canoe to get to our camp site and there were no motor boats allowed on the lake.  It was so peaceful being so far in nature and cooking our meals over a camp fire. But we had a bit of a surprise hardcore rain storm most of the night, our new little tent did not let us down though.    Ahh… I want to go back right now!

Here are Days 102 to 109 of A Photo A Day from Paul’s weekend away in bliss.  Enjoy!

Our mode of transportation for the weekend.

Birthday boy with our new portable home!

Playing with light at night!

This is where we ate Paul’s yummy birthday dinner and a little forest mouse came to visit us!

This is ‘our’ little beach in day light that we had Paul’s birthday dinner at. Our camp site was right behind this!

Coffee just tastes so much better in nature.

I could wake up and have coffee in this spot every day but we only got to see this one morning.
