Thankful Thursday - A Day Off

I had the day off on Monday, just because. Claudio and I decided to take the boys to walk across the Peace Bridge. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge is quite amazing to look at but has caused a lot of controversy in our city, first over the cost of the actual design and then the cost of actually building it.


Perhaps our city could've used the funds in a better way but it's got a pretty cool design and we enjoyed our time walking across one of our city's landmarks.


Lunch at Boogies Burgers (no, that is not a spelling error!) wasn't too shabby either. 
Claudio had the Deep Fried Mac 'n Cheese Burger and I had the Blazin' Saddles Burger. Yum!


Thankful for a vacation day in the middle of January. Thankful that we got to just drive around, see some sights, enjoy some good food and then spend the rest of the day at home. What a great way to relax!

What about you? What are you thankful for?

    Ok, I'm curious about the deep fried Mac n cheese burger. Did they really deep fry the burger? Or did they deep fry some Mac n cheese? Did it have macaroni on it?
