Considering how long a playoff run the Canucks had you would… Read More

Summer Trip to Harrison Hot Springs
As many of you know we do not often take our car out on the road; in fact before this trip we had our brand new Terrain for 5 weeks and it had only been driven 126 kilometers since day one. The main reason we decided to spend the weekend in Harrison Hot Springs was to take part in… Read More
Nooner at the Nat
On Friday I had my first chance of 2010 to head out to a ‘Nooner at the Nat’. This is of course one a few Vancouver Canadians games held at 1:05 PM at the Scotia Bank Field & Nat Bailey Stadium. It was a great Vancouver day with a 22 degree temperature and blue sky as far… Read More
