Get Away

This past weekend, Ian and I went to Vancouver for a little, well I suppose you could call it, a honeymoon. We went for three days, friday, saturday, and sunday.
Here is a look at our itinerary.

Friday
-we left Kamloops at about 9:00 am, after dropping Dewie off and my mom and dad's. (thanks for puppy sitting)
-we arrived in Vancouver at about 12:00 pm.
-we found our hotel at about 1:30 pm (we got lost and missed out exit and went almost ALL the way to the ferry terminal and realized that we missed it, this was my fault not Ian's)
-our room wasn't ready until 3 so we went to Metrotown Mall and walked around the whole mall
-went back to our hotel and got our room to our surprise, it was tiny. Very funny, we were not expecting that. It didn't even have a bath tub, just a shower stall. Nice place though.
-we went back to Metrotown mall and parked there, bought sky train tickets and went to downtown vancouver to go to the TALL GIRL SHOP!!!!!!!!
-I bought 5 pairs of pants!!!!
-we went to the old spaghetti factory in gas town for dinner, then walked around and saw some of the sights downtown
-then we took the sky train back to the mall and went to our hotel and went to bed

Saturday
- we woke up and got ready and walked for about a half an hour to the nearest sky train station.
- we got off at the science world main street station and had to wait an hour for science world to open
- we needed breakfast so we walked around until we found a starbucks for a coffee and a muffin(we walked between GM place and BC place)
- we spent a couple of hours acting like children in science world, learning is fun!
- we were going to go the Aquarium but after science world, we were a little touristed out
- we then went to the waterfront on the sky train and then hopped on the sea bus to Lonsdale Quay and had lunch and went shopping in the little market (we went into a games shop and found the Beanz game!!!! We didn't buy it, it is cheaper to buy on the internet)
- we then hopped on the sky train and went to metrotown mall again to actually go into stores and shop
-we only went into HMV and bought movies. Hehehehehehehehehe.
-Ian wanted to find a music store to go to so we looked in a phone book and went back downtown vancouver
-we then walked around downtown vancouver and decided that we were bored and didn't know where anything was and then went back to the hotel
-we stayed there until we got hungry and decided to go see a movie at silvercity
- there was nothing good playing so we just ate at TGI Fridays and then went to the hotel and watched some TV

Sunday
- we woke up and got ready for church
- we found the route on a map to Ian's aunt Dawn and Uncle Rae's church
- we checked out of the hotel
- we left super early and found the church but we were there an hour and a half early
- we found a Timmies and had breakfast
- after we drove around Richmond (because that is where the church is) and just saw a bit of the city
- went to church and surprised Ian's aunt and uncle and two cousins
- then Auntie Dawn took us and a 7 other people out for lunch (thanks again auntie dawn)
- then we went to ikea in richmond and spent alot of money
- then we drove home and picked up our dog

what a good trip. It's nice to just go away and forget that you have a job or responsibilities.
it is also nice to be back home.
