Kicking Cowgirl Designs. Another outing was made to Lindsay, where we visited the local mall. (There was a Winners there that blew my mind.) Though I do not necessarily love cottage life, shopping always makes me smile.
One of the more unusual and exciting things that we did on this vacation was head to a really unique movie theatre in Kinmount called Highlands Cinemas. I hadn't heard of it before, but someone recommended it to my dad. So, my mom, my brother, my husband, and I all went to see The Haunted Mansion one night. The theatre was tucked away and you had to park up a hill. There was a cat sanctuary outside with all of these tunnels for the cats that live on the property. On the inside? There were a few very small theatres (they were about a quarter of the size of the movie theatres that I am used to) and an incredible museum. The museum had all sorts of movie props, old projectors, antique pop culture items, and movie posters. It was hallway after hallway of stuff. As someone who loved movies and popular culture...this was everything. I was surprised to see that some of the displays had items that were in my own home! Like a Pee Wee Herman doll that I purchased from an antique store several years ago and other such treasures. It was so much fun to watch The Haunted Mansion (the movie was really good but definitely would have been better suited to a fall release) and check out all of the fantastic items on display at the theatre. It was certainly a one of a kind experience and was the highlight of the cottage vacation for me.
Another summer almost done and another cottage vacation over. Though I would much prefer to be at home in the air conditioning...there were certainly some highlights. I enjoyed spending time with my loved ones, shopping at antique and thrift stores, eating Kawartha Dairy ice cream, and checking out some unusual places. There were memorable moments!
Have you ever been to a cottage? How are you planning to spend the last days of summer?

Your cottage vacation sounds delightful!
ReplyDeleteThe tranquil water and country road each bordered with evergreen trees look idyllic,
you and your husband look very happy by the whitewater overflow from the dam and the pretty flowers,
and your visit to the Highlands Cinemas and museum sound both educational and like a lot of fun!
The end of summer is approaching so fast that I have not adjusted to the idea yet!

Thank you very much for your comment! There were definitely some nice moments and lots of pretty scenery <3
DeleteBug bites, spiders and no computer LOL. Yes good in small doses. But it is nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and spend some time in nature. I think you should keep up the tradition!

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot =) I had a really incredible time in Cologne and at the Gamescom. Time flies and I can't wait for 2024.
The cactus blossom smells so good, I want to use it for me and not the dishes :D My weekend was good but too short. But the next weekend is near
Oh yes this soft pretzel was so delicious <3 I loved it.
Thanks a lot =) I like my new stuff. Oh yes it's really hard to resist cute pyjamas but I have to :D The Stitch towel is my favourite <3 :D
Thanks a lot =) It was a really nice time in Cologne with so much fun and new contacts there. Yes the return journey was horror, I was so stressed and everything hurted xD
Nice post =) It looks so much fun. I would have a breakdown too about the crawlies but they have also a right to live - but please not to close to me :D We had a lots of rain here too, I think summer is over. You both look super cute =) I've never been to a cottage but it would be very nice. My last days of summers I will go to the city like yesterday and just relax a few hours =)
Ha! Exactly! The bugs can exist...but just stay away from me! That's all I ask! I hope you enjoyed the last days of summer <3
DeleteHello my dear!
ReplyDeleteI like to go on vacation, but usually we rent a room somewhere in the center or close to it. I live in the countryside, so I like to go to the city :) I love nature, I could admire it all the time!
Greetings from Poland!
Oh that sounds like fun! :D
DeleteSo awesome to read that you had a great time, Shannon...despite the creepy crawlies at night. Girl, I cannot sleep outside so kudos to you for being able to do that! And yay for shopping and going to used book stores...these kinds of vacay are seriously the best:) We're planning to go cottaging next summer so fingers crossed everyone's schedule works out!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thursday:)
I am not an outdoor person at all! But shopping and reading is nice!
DeleteAlthough I do love nature, I am definitely with you on the creepy crawlies and insect bites. For some reason, the insects always choose me as their favourite snack :-) Loving the sight of that movie theatre museum! xxx
ReplyDeleteMe too! I don't know why that is!
DeleteNature is my fav and spending a weekend at a cottage would be a great idea.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
