Vancouver-Sites and Kids..and Me!

Vancouver Harbour May 10, 2010

This was a lovely Mother's Day weekend. I was surprised with a get away with my BFF's family. "Pack your bags Honey, we're heading to the city!" How exciting!!!!

We had the most fabulous weather and we enjoyed it. Swimming in the outdoor pool...even getting some sun on our faces. The breeze was right off the ocean and so refreshing. We could hear people passing by and chatting as my friend and I chatted and bathed in the sun on our loungers. We all walked the harbour and enjoyed watching the kids run and find park art. There are many kinds of interesting people when you go to the city. There are
people riding BMX bikes and doing jumps, dog owner walking all sorts of dogs. We even saw a dog wearing a pink dress and pink runner's...YES! runners on all 4 paws. Adam loved that little poodle. I can't tell you the last time a saw anybody dressed PUNK, but we did...1 side of the head shaved and all...hair dyed, too. I can't tell you how many starfish we saw and all the colors that they are. Marissa had so much fun starfish hunting. There were tourists and photographers...and families. The harbour life is amazing. All the beautiful boats/ships...the life of a dreamer and some living the dream.
Our husbands had great talks. Some about work and some about life....
D and I we chatted, but less than we normally do...we were so relaxed enjoying the day and everything it held.
We looked forward the the meals we wouldn't have to cook and the blessing we have as we shared in drinks and enjoyed the view from the 14th floor of our hotel room....thinking....aaahhh! This is the life!
