Canada- Revisited...

Sorry about the week delay in getting these last three days up. We got busy with the "real world". Here's a summery of the last Three Days in The Okanagan (DRINK!)

DAY 7- THE WINERIES!
So they tell us that The Okanagan (DRINK!) is like the Napa Valley of BC....hmmm well, it's not quite that, but it was still good....they actually might one up us on the view, no not actually, they really do!
We went to three wineries, each progressively better. When we got to the last (Mission Hills- where most of these views are from) Sara looked at Aaron and I an said "I am glad we did them in the order we did, otherwise this would have SUCKED!" Yep- She was right. After words Aaron, Wilf, Matt and I hit up a local brewery called Freddies. I was the DD for these gentlemen, regardless the four of us had a nice time and I got carded...guess I look younger than 19! WHAT!??

DAY 8- Our last full day in The Okanagan (DRINK!)
This morning Aaron and I started watch The Sentinel. Once Sara got her sorry butt out of bed, we played Makeup! LOL! I brought some of my Mary Kay samples up there so that I could do a "demo" with her and write off the trip (woo hoo!). We had such a fun time just going through the motions, and it was good practice for me! I loaded her up with goodies too! I think she was pretty stoked.
After lunch we took off to the Value Village looking for Aaron Moose shirt- and we were successful! Actually 5 shirts deep successful! I will post a picture of that later. Sara scored on some awesome kids books, and I got away scott free...
Thant night we dropped Bells off at the grandparents and took a drive up the MTN. and a nice hike along some summer laden (ok it was still cold 11c) ski slopes! What a Blast! I think we captured our Christmas card picture there too!

DAY 9- The Ending...
All good things must come to an end. Today we had a great breakfast with Crew at The Polson Diner (we like to call it the Poisin Diner) puzt around a bit and then headed for the Airport....this time we did NOT run through the Vancouver airport; We sat for 3.5 hours! What a stinkin long layover! We had some beer, bought some time on a Internet Kiosk (which still has 39 minutes left on it, if we ever get back there...and I remember the password) and puzt around some more, and some more, and then finally hit the tarmak and got our butts home....whew. We walked in the door at 11:00 pm- and crashed into bed!



Definitely a great trip. Thanks Sara and Matt and Isabella for housing us and showing us a good time in The Okanagan (now DRINK!) Heh hhh!

Michael Jackson- Dead at Age 50...





















This has been a tough week in the Entertainment world. First Ed McMahon died on Tuesday, Farrah Faucet this morning after her 2 year battle with cancer, and just this afternoon, The King of Pop, Michael Jackson dies from a heart attack... What more can I say.... I am deeply sorrowed.
