Downtown Vancouver, the countdown till the Olympics is underway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today we went for brunch at the Hotel Vancouver to celebrate my birthday. I had just stuffed myself with the perfect amount of prime rib and eggs benedict when the waitress brought me a tray of desserts with a little candle to blow out. I suspected something was up because seven-year olds have a hard time keeping a secret!<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday Me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is Bo, the hotel dog. Guests can borrow him to go for a walk or just pat him as they go by.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After, we drove to Kitsilano around W. 4th to visit some of my favourite stores. Morgane and I shopped for bathing suits at Swimco, the only store where I ever find something good. Then we checked out the books at Duthie’s. I grabbed a piece of my favourite Caper’s chocolate cake for later and finally we stopped at Coast Mountain Sports.<\/p>\n

Ghis and I were both working at Coast in Vancouver when we met, but the store has changed a lot since then. I didn’t see anything I needed, like shoes. They don’t even carry Patagonia anymore!<\/p>\n

Then we came home and got invited to my bestest friendest since highschool, Jennifer’s house. Morgane got to play with the girls and we had a good visit.<\/p>\n

Back home, I forced my parents to watch my favourite movie of late (as I watched it for the third time): Away We Go. Luckily they liked it – I would have had trouble forgiving them otherwise.<\/p>\n

Now I’m lying in bed, ready to sign off my blog. It’s raining again which just seems normal for Vancouver in January. Tomorrow, perhaps swimming at the wave pool.<\/p>\n
