Vancouver

July 12, 2008

On the road to Vancouver at about 8:00 am. It took Jesse and Tavis the better part of 1 hour to figure out a way to fit 6 1/2 cases of wine in the trunk will all of our luggage. We made great time and got into the hotel around 12:30 pm. The hotel was just up from English Bay. We walked down to the water taxi to head over to Granville Island to meet up with my mom and dad, Jamie, and Julie-Anne, Tavis' parents Rob and Lill, and my cousins Bryan, Deneige and her boyfriend Dan. We had a great lunch on Bridges' Patio drinking sangria. Then onto a Saki distillery to do a tasting. Jesse and Tavis bought a bottle each.

Then we hurried back to the hotel to get ready for the birthday party. It was a great celebration with many tributes and speeches.

Happy Birthday Jesse (he turned 29 + 24 months)

On Sunday my family and Tavis' family went for brunch at the Fish House in Stanley Park. Amazing food! Unfortunately Jamie and Julie-Anne had to leave early in the morning to catch their flight.


We left around 2:00 pm with Bryan joining us for the return trip. We stopped at Quails' Gate for appetizers and wine on the patio. It is so beautiful there!

Then we drove up to Vernon to our hotel and had some wine before heading to bed.

Up early to get on the road home. We stopped in Golden for a great lunch. We arrived home at about 5:00 pm or so. What a great trip!
