The kids went downtown without me a few days ago to visit a downtown park that someone at the laundromat told me about and to go in a fancy hotel that we had read about. On Sunday we took the bus west a few miles to Pacific Spirit Regional Park and walked in the woods.…
Late yesterday afternoon we walked to Queen Elizabeth Park – an enormous, gorgeous place with flowering trees, forests, a conservatory, tennis and basketball courts, a dog park, fountains, and amazing views. We came upon a large restaurant, Seasons, at the top of a hill and decided to eat dinner there. What a treat! We found…
I’m convinced that the University of British Columbia that we visited today is the world’s ugliest campus amidst the world’s most beautiful scenery. Before visiting the Museum of Anthropology on campus we walked down 483 steps to Wreck Beach. I haven’t found why it’s called that, but it’s very pretty. It’s a popular spot with…
I forgot to include these in the last post.
We flew to Vancouver Tuesday and settled into our tiny garden-level apartment – the walkout basement of a house that we found on airbnb. On Wednesday we took the bus downtown and went up in the Vancouver Lookout Tower – the tourist top of an office building. After walking around, seeing the view from every…
Ok, one more Wayne reference (This blog-entry title was on a t-shirt Wayne wore when we were dating.) and one more blog entry tonight. I’m watching a movie on Amazon Prime called How to Make Money Selling Drugs. It’s an excellent, eye-opening documentary, particularly the last 40 minutes. Some of the information in the movie…
I can imagine Wayne saying that due to our protracted goodbye. We sold our house eight months ago, and we still haven’t left the US. We didn’t plan to leave the US until now, but when we run into old friends they express surprise that we’re still here. So really, we’re leaving now. This will…
We finally bought another cord for Laurel’s camera and can post our Boston photos from September 2013.
I recently found out that the kids’ and my photos and x-rays from the orthodontist’s office are available on her website after I log in. Both Laurel and Charlie started going to her at age 7 1/2 although they didn’t get their first sets of braces on until about 8 1/2. Anyway, it’s been a…
We skated at the city ice rink in Breckenridge Friday which was fun. Charlie held tightly to my hand, so I wasn’t able to take a picture of the kids skating. Here’s the Zamboni though. We got back to Denver Saturday and walked to City Park Sunday. Despite recent snowfall, it was sunny and warm…
