For our anniversary we left this pet behind.
Vancouver, how we love you so…
With no lagging child we walked and walked and walked, drank beer and ate. All in equal proportions of course.
After almost being decapitated by rogue bus wire at 1am on Granville Bridge we decided to call the night complete and recharged for day two.
Highlights included,
A Sounders win, with the bold move of my husband visibly supporting his team in the Whitecaps Suite.
People watching. My favorite being the three young Saudi boys in traditional arab garb cruising Robson Street again and again in rented white convertible mustang blasting Arabic pop tunes and waving Saudi flag. Does Rock the Casbah come to mind? Man were they having the time of their lives.
Overheard highlight, “We go in, be social, have some fun and break some hearts.” I would have wanted to hang out with that girl when I was young.
Ride home included off the beaten track roads, brewery and double rainbows.
All in celebration of still digging one another.
We look so cute and how come nobody moved all that crap behind us for photos?
We married in the Northwest on a rainy day in a cozy lodge on the Sound surrounded by friends and family. Love happens in strange ways, like marrying your old boyfriend’s roommate for example.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Today I feel like turning on the heat and sewing. I did get a little of that in too on the drive. I’ll show you the whole quilt on a less rainy photo day.

We like Vancouver too – only a 1.5hr ferry ride away for us but we still don’t get there often enough. Looks like you had a wonderful time.
Happy Anniversary! Hope to see you soon.
Congrats! Sounds like a very fun weekend celebrating life’s best!
Love the quilting! I wish I had your quilting gift!
Looks like a fab weekend :o)
Congrats on the anniversary. Looks like a lovely weekend, and i love the twinkle in both your eyes!
If you ever head up to the Great White North on the 2nd Thursday of the month, you should come visit our guild – The Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild. We’d love to have a celebrity guest!! http://www.fvmodernquilt.com
Will do, thanks for the invite!
Congrats – you two are so cute! Did you see the high-rise apartments with the giant tree on the top when you were in Van? It overlooks English Bay and blew me away…!
The quilting on that piece makes me wish I was better at it. I can barely manage straight lines but that might have inspired me to improve my skills!
it’s super fun, go for it!
Adorable!
Next time drive 12 more hours East…
Meet half way for beer?
