Madd Max Appreciates Canadian Culture

"No Mow May," where the dandelions are embraced, and it is delightful.

Slappy Breakfasts

Jess had a later flight, so Madd and she were able to hit up BB Cafe for waffles.

The house had been cleaned while she was away.  Upon arrival home, she found this.

And got sent a picture of this.

Madd Max Gets To Come Home Again

Another Saturday, playing hockey?

Dining with friends.

That's a true Leonhardt spread.

Madd Max Stops At Timmy's

Uncle Wills really wanted to visit Tim Horton's, A&W and Canadian Tire during their visit.  He managed one of the three.

Slappy Relaxes

A computer and a kitty.

Madd Max Continues Their South Shore Day

Some biking on the Rumrunners Trail in Blockhouse.

Followed by drinks at Jess' favorite Nova Scotia restaurant, the Seaside Shanty.

Rounding out the day with the firepit and dinner from Scotia Curry.

Madd Max Tours The South Shore

But first, Uncle Wills cooked burritos for breakfast.

Then the fam headed to the Ovens, which was not yet officially open, but Jess was able to use her cinematic immunity to get into.

It's a stunning place.

Next stop, Lunenberg where Uncle Wills had, of course, a lobster roll.

A stop by a rum distillery, which actually keeps rum in barrels just off the Lunenberg wharf in the water.  The building used to be a marine blacksmith's shop and it had a wild fireplace.

A little stop in a bookstore that had "Blind Date" books, wrapped in butcher paper with only a description of the genre on the outside.

Madd Max Gets More Visitors

Aunt Ally and Uncle Wills met Jess in Halifax at the Stubborn Goat for dinner.

Slappy Has A Track Meet

Where she posed.

And got some air.

Madd Max Hangs With Friends In The Skosh

Nzingha, the Director who brought Jess onto the show.

Jin, the Art Director, who joined Jess from LA.

Pascal, the EP, who has been with Jess the entire time.

And what a place to scout, especially from the water.
 

This might have been a friend, or might have been a small mousey tyrant, taking over Jess' job while she was scouting.

Madd Max Gets Cared For

Upon return to the Skosh, Jess had some of Erin's Grandma bread for breakfast.

And a soup for dinner that Mimi had sent over when she heard Jess was alternating daily between two meals that she had prepped on Sunday.  "Life is too short to eat poorly."

Madd Max Gets To Come Home

For a Saturday with the fam.

Which began with the traditional going out to breakfast.  Maddie's choice - Coral Cafe.

 

Madd then headed down to Splash at UCLA for a day of classes open to high schoolers, where she met up with Max's crew.

In-n-Out lunch with Taisie.

Followed by dinner at the Findleys.

Where Aarin made s'mores per Jess' request.

Hot husband - sigh.

Madd Max Says Goodbye

Jess and Erin took leave of the Skosh.

But left these notes.

Which Jess took with her to every AirBnB from there on out.

Also, on a scout, a seal was spotted.  Neat.

Madd Max Hit More Of The Bucket List

Morning coffee walk in Charlottetown.

 

Then it was off to Green Gables Heritage Place from Erin's bucket list.  Erin was an avid reader of the series, where she related closely to the red-headed heroine.  A walk down Lovers Lane.

A woman and her Gables. Check!

Fun kitty statue.

Fun kitty picture from back home.

On Jess' bucket list, to see the sand dunes.  Check!

Summing up the road trip.

Madd Max Celebrate Slappy's 16th

Per her request, a movie, ice cream and sleepover hang with the MEME gang.

Madd Max Head To PEI

Road tripping.  On the 4 hour ride to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the crew prepped by listening to Anne of Green Gables.  It was delightful.

Lunch stop with fried pickles.

A rainy stop at COWS where there was supposed to be a creamery tour, but was mostly a gift shop tour.

More prep (Lactaid).

A little walk thru Charlottetown, pre-dinner.

 

Each of the 3 ladies had a bucket list item to check off in PEI.  Jess' was to eat PEI oysters.  Check!
