Friday. Pick up was scheduled for 10... in our fancy clothes. CN has booked a second lunch for us at Cin Cin today. Cliff had a great idea to start off our day: why not go for a tour around to the places we haven't seen yet! So we were in our fancy clothes ready for the tour and drop off at the restaurant for lunch.
Cliff started off by taking us along the Fraser River at the top end of downtown, along by the torch cauldron and on to Stanley Park. Aaaah! The beauty! We are getting closer and closer to the mountains and they are more and more beautiful! Of course, we are taking many many pictures to share with you later.
We begged to stop just as we crossed into Stanley Park. There are boats resting along the shore and the sun is shining on them... I have to get a picture. I meet some more people from Ontario and we are all very aware of the incredible scenery and weather. We hope back in the truck to continue the round. When we pass the northern tip of Stanley Park, Cliff directed us to a hollowed out tree where we stopped for some pictures. Gabe pointed to the sky... EAGLES!! yeah! More pictures.
Just for the fun of it we went across the Lionsgate Bridge and back. Cliff is so much fun. Past Second Beach and Third Beach. We stopped at the Vancouver Maritime Museum for a pee break and I took the opportunity to run to the shoreline. People were there with their dogs, throwing balls, having fun. Super gorgeous day. With only a little time left, Cliff takes us for a quick tour of Granville Island. So cute. We'll have to head back there at some point.
Cin Cin is waiting to host us for the afternoon. Between beverage matching, appetizers, primi, pasta, secondi, desserts and apperetifs, it took us 3 hours to enjoy all it had to offer. The children were wonderful, the staff so professional and the atmosphere so rockstary (our new adjective). We loved it.
Out into the crowds, we walked back to the hotel room for a little digestion time before our driver came to drop us off at the last Victory Celebration of our stay. I loved that Northwest Territories was featured. Although Canada did not receive any medals tonight, we really enjoyed the last opportunity to be at this party. Theory of a Deadman was a little too loud for the younger kids so we left Rugge and Gabe to enjoy the concert. We found out later that they were given tickets to the floor space infront of the stage so, at the hotel, the girls and I spotted them on MuchMusic!
We took the chance to start packing knowing that tomorrow would be the last day. Off came the fancy pants, on went the pj pants.
