The Benefit of the Doubt Trip, Vancouver 2009

This past weekend we took a last minute trip up to our Canadian neighborhood with our equally spontaneous friends. My boss abides in lovely real estate and one of the many perks to the job is being able to pretend for but a moment that these lovely abodes are mine for a weekend.

Exhibit A & B of their floating home in the heart of Granville Island.

Why is the Universe so good to me?!

We spent time in the market, went to stores with wrapping paper that made me want to sit in front of a fire and tie bows and wrap presents all day, admired all the fruits and veggies, screened movies, ate fresh sushi, had to pick from too many flavors of gelato, hung out on a suspension bridge, laughed and talked until we came to the border and were greeted by two bald eagles. It was such an enjoyable trip that the trip itself deserved its own title.

Maybe I'm starting a new leaf with giving you details about my going-ons?!....

Eh. Probably not. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Might be wise to read this book (except you worst-case-scenario-mother-in-law-Karen).

that apple in my hand tasted really good.

nothing like fresh market apples.

Happy Holidays, Vancouver.

We'll be back. Hopefully.
