So, as you can tell from the title, our last 3 days were pretty average. Tuesday we headed to Abbotsford to have a combo me/justin family bday thingy. Went out for pizza...told Mel funny stories about my moms inability to stay on her feet on stairs, and trash talked about the mini golf that was to come. Mini golf, all 3 couples paired up, and though there was no tangible prize, beating the other 2 couples was enough. But we lost. Actually came in last. Off to the house for the annual red velvet cake. For those of you who dont know, its a southern thing...the cake is comparable to cheesecake in richness, but its a traditional cake. I got my brother jeans he couldnt find in Abby, and he got me Fall Guy Season 1 on DVD!! Man, Im awesome now! The next day Mel and I prepared for our trek into the big city (vancouver) so she could have laser beams shot into her eyes. Little did I know, I was entering myself in elevator-to-street marathon as we were told there was street parking, so I parked in a metered spot, and had to return, and return, and return...four times I returned to make sure the meter didnt expire...Vancouver has stiff parking tickets and I wasnt gonna get one. INSTEAD, I plugged around $20 in change into our spot over 3 and 1/2 hours. So, off to the hotel. Because the hotel was all booked, we "had" to take the executive suite, facing False Creek and the ocean, which was just really hard to swallow ;-) Since Mel had begun her parade of eye drops, I set off solo to hunt us down some sweet sweet Montreal smoked meat sandwiches and poutine. My my, that stuff is SO good...later in the evening the "Festival of Lights" was having its opening night. Its an international fireworks competition they hold in Van every year over...a week and a half I wanna say. They do it on a beach...a beach our 16th floor window just happened to face!! So we got VIP accomodations to the fireworks that we had no intention of attending, yesss!!! So, barring a Dr's appt., bloodwork, and a drive home, that was our mid-week weekend. And if youre thinking we live like rockstars, youre darn tootin. Until next time...heres a top 5 to hold you.
