2019 Summer Trip | Day 7

August 6, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Coventina Day Spa | Waterford, Pennsylvania

I packed all my bags and we headed to Waterford for massages at Coventina Day Spa. Liliana ordered us a couples massage. The doors open up to another room where she was laying. I don’t really understand what the point of it is since you don’t really talk to one another during. I guess it’s just nice to have them there? The hour went by too quickly but overall it was nice. We both still loved our reflexology more so we’ll have to keep that in mind next time we get pampered.

We stopped by two different post offices because one of them didn’t have packing tape. I guess I won’t fault them since that one was in a gas station but how do you do business as a post office without packing tape?!

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Lawrence Park Dinor | Erie, Pennsylvania

Lily found Lawrence Park Dinor close by. They are a quiant little place that reminds me of a Waffle House because you can watch them make your food. It’s been around for years that it’s become historic and they try to keep it as classic as possible. Everything we ate was delicious. I was weary at first but I walked out full and happy. I’ve never had Italian Wedding Soup before and I found myself Googling a recipe to make myself in the future.

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Panache Salon + Spa | Erie, Pennsylvania

Soon enough it was facials at Panache Salon + Spa. They take you to the women’s locker room which has a few lockers to put your things, a shower, a restroom, a hair dryer, a curler, and a straightener. You change into robes and slippers then walk down the hall to a very relaxing waiting room with lemon water and cucumber water.

We filled in our forms and the ladies came to take us to separate rooms to get our facials done. The lady did my extractions and told me that she was surprised by how great my skin is. That means a lot coming from a lady that does facials! I fell asleep when she was steaming my face with a hot towel and started massaging me.

Lily and I met back up and she followed me into the room for a lash lift and tint. I’ve always wanted to do one and figured, why not. I don’t think I’d ever do it again only because the results weren’t what I was thinking it’d be but it was a good experience.

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Panache Salon + Spa | Erie, Pennsylvania | Mellie Dee & Liliana Before & After

Lily and I’s before and after. I told her I don’t understand why we looked better in the before. Maybe the poking and prodding made our face swell up a bit.

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Sonic Slushie and Corn Dogs

We headed to Sonic, picked up some slushies and corn dogs and headed to the airport. Once I got there to go print out my ticket it said that I would have a mis-connect. I wasn’t going to make my connecting flight due to their delay on the first leg of the trip from the weather.

We made an impromptu decision to just fly out tomorrow morning instead so I headed home with Lily yet again so that I wouldn’t get stuck at the Detroit airport if I couldn’t make it.

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Roadside Farmer's Market | Liliana

When we were driving back, we stopped by a roadside Farmer’s Market. I’s a trust system where you pay for what you get by sticking cash into the little steel box. We found the most gigantic zucchini ever.

2019 Summer Trip Day 7 | Homemade Dinner by Daniel & Liliana
Drink: Honey Melon Water | Appetizer: Homemade Cherry Vinaigrette Summer Salad | Entree: Elotes

Once we got home, I started working, and Lily started making Elotes. Daniel came home after and was nice enough to make us a summer salad even though he is sick.

They’re asleep now and I’m about to head to bed soon too since I’ll have a busy day of traveling and then working from home once I get back. Night world!

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Day 5

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Minie & Gohan

Look! Another dog, Gohan, getting wiped after being outside … And his owner is not Asian! Some people always thought it was weird. Also, Minnie has heartworms and cannot be jumping around so she’s been caged for a while. Poor girl.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Market House Grille | Meadville, Pennsylvania

Lily and I got ready and went to Market House Grille for breakfast. Per usual, everything tasted great but I couldn’t finish it again.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Post Office

We went to the market next door and then to the post office. My carry on ran out of room so I had to mail my souvenirs back home.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Presque Isle Drive | Erie, Pennsylvania

Liliana started driving to Erie and started taking me to a scary area. I bet it’s gorgeous once the leaves grew back.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Presque Isle | Erie, Pennsylvania

Pisque Isle was pretty. And freezing. I’m surprised there was a man bearing the cold just to fish!

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Presque Isle Lighthouse | Erie, Pennsylvania

We tried to go to the lighthouse but it was closed. I’m assuming because of the weather. I have still yet gone into a lighthouse. Sigh …

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Tom Ridge Environmental Center at Presque Isle | Erie, Pennsylvania

We went to the environmental center to learn about how the island has changed throughout the years. It was very interactive and free! The chairs are made from recycled material which I found really interesting since it looks like wood.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Bruster's Real Ice Cream | Erie, Pennsylvania

When your best asks you if you want ice cream while you’re bawling your eyes out, you say yes.

I think I’ve found my favourite ice cream, Graham Central Station, from Bruster’s. This is the first ice cream cone I finished without hesitation. Yum! I wish I could ship some back home!

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Erie to Chicago

She stayed with me at the airport for an hour and a half as I waited to board my flight to Chicago. It’s been a while since we talked like this so it was nice.

2019 Pennsylvania Trip | Chicago to Houston

I didn’t have much time to grab anything to eat since I had to walk to my next gate. I’m currently sitting on the plane waiting for lift off. I cannot wait to be back in Houston. I only wished I was going home so I could cuddle Rizzo.
