The car ride to Stratford, Ontario was extremely long. We arrived here at 11:30am. I slept the whole way here and was still exhausted. We found a restraint/bakery called ‘Let Them Eat Cake’. It sounded promising so we decided to check it out. I ordered the Stratford Scrambles. It was actually delicious and surprising that they serve eggs at a restraint called ‘Let Them Eat Cake’. After eating breakfast we went to our hotel. The hotel we stayed at was River Garden Inn. We even got a really nice room. It had twin beds and even a balcony! We didn’t have much time in our room because it took us so long to eat breakfast and we had to get to the Avon Theatre at 2:00pm. The show we decided to see at the Avon Theatre was Peter Pan. The show was 2 hours and 30 minutes long; we got out of the show at 4:30pm. The show was actually AMAZING! And we had the best seats in the house! But we had to quickly leave because we wanted to go to the Epicurean Trek before it closed. The Epicurean Trek is a farmers market. They sell jams, jellies, pickles and mustards. I bought a jar of strawberry jelly and a mixed berry fruit jam. After visiting the market we had to go to The Sun Room for dinner. I ordered the trout. I have never had trout before and it was great. After eating dinner we headed over to the South-western Ontario Open Fiddle Step dance competition at 6:00pm. The competitors were magnificent. I cannot even imagine playing a fiddle that good! But the competition was really long. I even fell asleep and missed them announce the winner. But I am still tired from the long car ride here. I’m going to get some rest because; tomorrow is day two inn Stratford, Ontario.

Today is day two in Stratford, Ontario. We all woke up late today. By the time I finally rolled out of bed it was already 11:30am. I wasn’t very hungry so I just grabbed a muffin from Tim Horton’s for breakfast. After that we decided to go to Huffmeyers Mill. It was established in 1906, so it kind of old. It was used to sell carpentry and lumber. They named the mill after Henry Huffmeyer. Later we left and went to art in the park. They had cartoon drawings where they draw a cartoon version of you with a big head and small body. My brother decided to get that done. I got face painting of a cat, which Nik did not like because he said I was “embarrassing him!” But I didn’t really care considering he probably doesn’t even know anybody in Stratford! We had to leave early because Nik was whining about being hungry because he had not eaten for 5 hours. We went to Pearl Sushi for dinner at 6:00pm because we had to go back to the hotel and get ready – I was not going to dinner with paint on my face. It was a typical boring dinner, yet very good. On the way out of the restraint we bumped into a little celebrity. Although I bet everyone heard him come in because when I saw him I screamed and almost fainted. And I got a picture with… JUSTIN BIEBER!

Plus I also got his autograph! We talked to Justin for a few minutes then unfortunately we had to leave and go to back to the hotel to get some sleep. In the morning we are heading out to Edmonton which means… Shopping! My mom said we will do one day exploring the city and another day shopping! I’m so excited! I can’t wait!
