Holiday Time

Holidays are going really well. We got to Ryan & Tammy's about supper time local time. We had wonderful travelling weather, barring heavy rain just as we were leaving Calgary, but it didn't last that long. We had no construction etc till about 45 mins from Ryan. Heard that there had been an accident on the road and we had to WAIT while they cleared the highway.

Monday we went down to the states to a little beach area, Birch Bay. Rawley dug in the sand and played in the water. (okay, we all did). We stayed there for awhile and then went to Bellingham and went shopping in a mall, Bellis Fair. We decided to come across the border at the Peace Arch and to our pleasant surprise the wait wasn't that long.

Tuesday Ryan worked so we just hung out in Abbotsford. Tammy and Rawley came with us and we hit two small malls and Walmart. Went to Red Robin for lunch and it was very good. We don't have those at home.

Wednesday we went into Vancouver. We took the Skytrain in and then travelled by buses and the sea bus. It was fun as the skytrain and the seabus were all new to us. We went to Stanley Park and took the trolley ride around and heard about all the sights. Then we went to Gastown, took the Sea Bus over to another place and walked the malls etc. Came back and caught the sky train to Metrotown and walked around that mall and had supper. It was a long day, but a fun day!

Today Gary, Ryan and Crystal are away golfing, Tammy is at work so I am just hanging out at the apartment till they get home from golf. When they get back we are going to a couple of places, hopefully the lys here. Tonight we are going to the movies as Ryan works tonight and Tammy works till 8.

Tomorrow it will be time for us to head home. The visit went so fast. It was so nice to meet Tammy & Rawley and spend time with them. Tammy is a very nice girl and Rawley is a very active, but cute 3 year old. He was shy with us at the very beginning, but warmed up quickly. I think he quite likes Crystal and won't call her by name, just refers to her as Pretty Girl*S* We are planning on meeting up with Sandra & Al for lunch and I am really looking forward to that! Will be so good to see her again!
