Okay, so you’ve probably already figured out that Rob and I had a GREAT and very relaxing vacation to the Vancouver area in Canada. Have we ever looked so relaxed and happy?
Honestly, we didn’t do a ton of things. Rather we spent time seeing friends we’d made 2 years ago when we lived there for [...]

Today Rob and I went to 2 wineries in the Okanagan Valley. The Okanagan is Canada’s “Napa Valley”, and they make very good wines. They also make ice wine which is made from frozen grapes.
The first one we went to was Quails’ Gate and we had a very nice lunch on the [...]

One reason we’re up here in beautiful British Columbia is for our good friends daughters wedding. How we know the Petersen family is a long story so I’ll save it for another post. It’s a good one, so you’ll want to read it when I get around to writing it.
Anyway, the wedding was yesterday at [...]

Yes, I’m actually blogging while on vacation. We’re staying with friends so I have some free time. The wedding we’re going to isn’t until 3pm Pacific time.
We love being back here. It’s like being at home. In 2004 we lived here for 3 months while working at CCC Canada headquarters. We loved it back then [...]

I have a feeling we’ll be delayed or cancelled! Curse these stupid hurricanes!
UPDATE: We decided to leave tonight instead of wait it out tomorrow. So long my blogging buddies. I’m off [...]

Why is it that when Rob and I are set to fly out to get to British Columbian, there’s always a hurricane in the way? It happened to us in 2004. We had to delay our trip by 2 weeks because of hurricane after hurricane.
Will Ernesto once again delay a trip to British Columbia? Is [...]

It was supposed to rain all day yesterday, but God decided to let the sun shine instead! Rob and I were out most of the day seeing the beauty of North Vancouver. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted all the photos we took yesterday with our digital camera before downloading them. I was very upset about it [...]

I spent $35 filling up the car with gas today. It’s better than last week, when I spent $41 filling it up. Gas is expensive. This week it’s about $3 a gallon. The good thing is that if I go to the Save On Foods gas station, I’ll get a coupon for a food purchase. [...]
