My Slice of Life: Sunshine & Raindrops

What a great weekend!

Just got in from dropping CB off at the ferry. It was a really nice low key visit - right up my alley. Here's the lowdown:

Saturday:
9:45 picked her up from the ferry and decided to take the very scenic route home via Brentwood Bay and Cordova Bay, then all along Beach drive. Grabbed fish & chips and ate them at Willows Beach - it was a little windy and chilly, but still a lot of fun!
Dropped off her stuff at my place, sat around and chatted and then decided it was time for another adventure.
Drove up to Govenor House and wandered around the gardens - very nice, but a little boring. Hopped back into the car, headed back on the road. Decided to drive up through Sooke to French Beach... was a great drive and my car seemed happy to do it (mind you at one point I stopped to fill up my tires!).
Got out at French Beach and wandered for a while, then headed back home.
Had dinner at Santiago's (an old haunt from UVic days, and handily just around the corner from my place!). Chowed down on spaghetti squash and muscles.... YUM!!
Got home, threw in the movie Weather Man - have you seen it?!?! If not, Don't Bother!! It's aweful!

Today
Had breakfast at the Day's Inn - just 'cause.
Hit the mall - and bought bambo for my office.
Stopped at some farmer's markets on the way back from the ferry to do my grocery shopping.

I've gotta say - its pretty cool to have friends that are both 10 years younger than me, and 10 years old. Gives life such variety! And you hardly notice the difference when you are hanging out one on one. Until, well you throw in a "Summer of '94" mixed tape into the tape deck of my car and regail your pal with the stories from 3rd year at University that the tape reminds you of - only to have the other person say "ya, I was in grade 5 in 1994" - OMG!!! ha ha ha...

Here's some of my favorite pics from our adventures!
