NAME THAT TUNE?

We slowly got out of bed the next day, Val said we were going to have a light breakfast and she ended up making an entire full on the table breakfast. It wasn't like we didn't appreciate it, but it was more the fact that we had ate and ate and ate all week and so we felt like she didn't need to. I think she was using us as her garbage can and cleaning out her fridge was her mission. However, it was exceptionally delicious.

Unfortunately a couple of hours later on our way to Stanley Park I said let's get cake so we can walk it off at the park. The only other thing on my list of wants was to go to True Confections for a piece of cake. The cakes are so big and of course I want a bite of every kind so Gary got chocolate cake with Frangelico in it and I got Lemon. Well when they brought it, mine was laying on a bed of lemon curd. OH MY GOSH, it was so good.


We were so full, we said after this trip we are never going to see another bakery for months. We had had so much good food it was killing us.

Stanley Park is a Mecca of everything, from playing cricket, to rose garden, to totem poles, to watching someone get arrested. No truly it is a very family oriented park and has lots of things going on all of the time. It's also a beautiful park so a stop in Vancouver without going to Stanley Park is a wasted trip.






We headed home just in time to get cleaned up and head out for a night of dinner and dance. Val had wanted to go down to the Flying Beaver, a bar right on the water where they were having a music trivia contest. We initially met a group that turned out to be the nicest people. We never learned their full names, but maybe when we go back to Vancouver we might run into them at the Flying Beaver. We didn't win, but we sure had a lot of fun. We had so much fun I had to censor some of the photos.
