Road Trip

Saturday morning we wake up and were in no mood to do any of the usual "weekend" chores and wanted to get out.  During breakfast Paypay was looking at his emails and received his Nexus appointment confirmation.  He looks up the next available slot in Seattle, sees that he would be in NB and would have to wait another 2 weeks.  So he looks up Vancouver and looky.... there's one available at 3 pm..... whoo hoo Road Trip!  We pack an overnight bag, load up the car and head to Vancouver.

A few hours later Paypay is through with his appointment and we head to a very late lunch/early dinner at a favorite restaurant The Boathouse.  After with our bellies full of oh so yummy halibut we head to our hotel The Sylvia and a walk around Stanely Park.

The Sylvia hotel was built in 1912, still has its early 20th century old charm and we were given a large corner room with a view of the city.

Sunday we had brunch in the downstairs bistro, checked out and headed to the play ground for Chickpea.  We had brought with us her bike and we were glad that we did. We had a great unplanned weekend and we need to more of these.

Samedi matin on s'est leve et nous n'avions pas envie de faire les taches menageres du weekend et voulions sortir.  Pendant le petit dejeuner Paypay regarde ses emails et voit qu'il a recu sa confirmation de rendez-vous pour le Nexus.  Il regarde le prochaine rendez-vous a Seattle et voit qu'il ne peut y aller car il va etre au NB.  Il regarde celui de Vancouver et voit qu'il y avait un rendez-vous de disponible a 15H00.... super un tour d'auto!  On fait une valise de nuit, rempli la voiture et on part pour Vancouver.

Quelques heures plustard Paypay a fini avec son rendez-vous et nous allons a un resto favori The Boathouse pour un diner tard/souper tot.  Apres avoir manger on se dirige vers notre hotel The Sylvia et pour une randonne autour du Parc Stanley.

L'hotel Sylvia bati en 1912 a toujours sone charme du debut du 20ieme siecle et nous avons eu une grande chambre de coin avec une vue sur la ville.

Dimanche matin on dejeune au bistro en bas et allons au parc pour Chickpea.  Nous avons apportez son velo et nous etions content de l'avoir avec nous.  On a eu un super weekend non-planifie et on devrait en faire plus comme ca.
