This past weekend, Nick's parents wanted to visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The Bridge is a pretty well-known Vancouver tourist attraction and I had been to it on a high school band trip more than ten (eek!) years ago. I didn't remember it well and was a little bit skeptical about the whole thing, since …
I think Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and this year was extra lovely. We went up to Whistler with some friends and cooked the whole weekend, interspersed with games of crib, Great Dalmuti, walks and wine. It was cozy and lovely and just like a Thanksgiving should be.
Nick and I had the most magical weekend in Victoria. We realized that we've been there five times together, but this weekend was magnificent! We ate some great food, drank some delicious whiskey and generally loved the city. Victoria might be my new favourite getaway from Vancouver. It's just a hop-skip-a-bus-a-train-a-bus-a-ferry-and-a-bus away!
This weekend was spent in Whistler with a group of girlfriends. We had a lot of fun: painting our toe nails, eating delicious food (I made pancakes, again), drinking wine, swimming in the lake and gossiping more than was probably good for us! It was a really nice way to recharge before a very busy …
Dear Steveston, You are adorable and have delicious frozen yoghurt and fish and chips. Love, Kate
When I was growing up, we spent quite a bit of time on Denman and Hornby Islands because my parents have a little piece of land on Denman. I hadn't been there since 1999 until this passed weekend. It was remarkable how much I remembered and how much the islands lived up to my memory. …
{Mark Styler photo.} I've been a bad blogger lately. Mostly though, I've just been enjoying summer! This weekend we went to Denman Island, where my parents have a small piece of land. It was a great time! More photos soon, promise.
For the long weekend we went down to Summerland to do some wine tasting. The weather was brilliant and I knocked one thing off my summer list: swimming in natural water. I swam in Lake Okanagan twice and even though it was really cold, it was totally worth it! It was a lovely way to …
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we went on an awesome day trip to Gibsons this weekend, despite the overcast weather. It was an easy jaunt from Vancouver with delicious results. Matt, Shaz, Andrea, Peter, Nick and I daydreamed about starting a commune there on our walk from the ferry into town. Want to join …
Victoria! I love ferries. Perhaps it's the prairie girl in me but there is something so novel about eating meals on a boat and walking in crazy wind on the deck.
