Paris....Ontario!

Jane decided to try a spring show in Paris to kick off the festival season - it was a little further than we like to go for a show, but we put the van back on the road and hit the (Talbot) Trail on Friday night. Luckily, we had a free place to crash in the relative vicinity, at the trailer.

The two-day show was well-attended, though the vendors all agreed that shoppers were picky and did more browsing than buying. Jane was still on crutches, meaning she could help little with setup and teardown.

In my downtime, I was able to look around the picturesque limestone town, located at the junction of the Nith and Grand Rivers. Given that we plan to visit the "other" Paris later this year, it only seemed fair to check this one out too!

I even had time for possibly the worst haircut of my adult life. At least it grows back fast!

We spent two evenings at the trailer, watching movies. The park is pretty quiet in March, and the only washroom open is the main clubhouse. We were also able to meet up for dinner with Jane's parents one night, as well as a great visit with friends Lori, Aaron and Austin at Stillwaters Plate & Pour.

The weekend ended with a relaxing sunset van cruise home on Sunday night, along the Lake Erie shoreline.

It's easy to "fall" for Paris!
