windemereI have not had this problem for...well, as long as I can remember. Every other year I have been in school over Easter and used the long weekend as a break from classes (and for 4 years) studying for exams. For the last two years Easter has marked the beginning of Dissertations and since classes ended in March, Easter was more a chance to just...chill and start thinking about all that work. And I didn't get to go home.
This year, Easter is much more complicated. I am doing family dinner with the aunt (does that count as family if there's only two of us?) on Sunday in Toronto. On Saturday I have an eight hour shift (no break) at the museum and will no doubt come back that night, finish packing, and pass out (rightly so). I am working every day this week except Friday, which is the holiday. So, my Easter weekend is really summed up in what is supposed to be a beautiful last day of the week. But since it's a holiday, what to do?!
I haven't been to a Maple Syrup fesitval in about seven years, since before university started. I know Easter weekend is the last hoohaa for most places that run it. But if it's supposed to be nice it's going to be packed with people. I also want to go for a really long hike, which limits the places I can go. Must do some research into places nearby (I also don't want to empty my gas tank getting there).
*OMG, that pizza looks so good! Bugger, now I have a craving.*
Hum...I wonder if I search google for Maple Syrup festival I'll get the right links, because google has been failing me lately.

Okay, looks like it's down to two within driving distance, reasonable entry fees, open and trails. Will still be packed, though. Which one to choose?
Crawford Lake or Mountsberg. I used to love going to Crawford Lake in the spring with the parents. Might bring back fond memories. Mountsberg and I have a bad history involving a best-not-talk-about-it Grade 6 trip.
Crawford Lake on Friday! Now, weather, please stay nice!
