we had such a good time, as you do with people who have known you for many, many years. tim and jon have been close since their early years in university. tim and i worked together in a lab before jon and i became "jessnjon." tim has been the third wheel on many of our dates over the years. not to get too sentimental (pregnancy hormones), but we are so lucky to have friends like tim. as a bonus, tim has delivered many babies during his medical training, so he was able to answer all my questions about labour and delivery. i feel so much more mentally prepared now.
we took a little road trip out to elliston island, aka puffin island. i would highly recommend a visit if you are doing a newfoundland road trip. the viewing site to see the 200 puffin pairs costs only what you want to pay, and you can have a look at the many, many root cellars in the area while you drive around. we were treated to a major whale sighting. they were smacking their tails against the water in such a way that i really felt like they were putting on a show. it was incredible. also, there is a nice sandy beach to hang out at, and an ice cream truck. you can't go wrong.
more pics after the jump...
