Christmas 2019

On Christmas Eve, I went and visited cousin Mike at her house.   She was having a late dinner.  I didn’t stay since I had to be up early the next day.

We brought Macrina pastries.  Bronwen and I drove through Tacoma and we met Jessica and Kelsey there.  

Kelsey and Jessica put together a cool collage of our Jingle Bell teams over the years.





































Vancouver BC December 7-9

we returned to Vancouver again in the late fall.

We stayed at the Shangri la just like last time but we didn’t get a suite this time.  The regular room was just fine.  Very nice rooms.

We arrived late afternoon on Friday.  Bronwen picked me up at work and we headed north.  We went bsck to the Chinese region Robson, but this time it wasn’t as good.

On Saturday, we went for breakfast at a White Spot.   I had a Bloody Caesar.   It was fabulous.   We then headed. North to Lynn Canyon.  First we stopped at a mall for Christmas shopping.  It was an odd mall, most of the stores were discount stores.   The food court looked great, but we weren’t hungry.

We then went to Lynn Canyon park and walked over the suspension bridge and then did the lloop   It was light rain.  Beautiful area though.

That night we ate dinner at an Italian restaurant right on Robson.  It was packed.  We got in at the bar.  It was good.  We have not been out for Italian in a long while and usually we eat mostly Chinese when inVancouver because they have so many great Chinese places.

We stopped for a beer after dinner and then walked around to see the lights.

Sunday a:I got up and headedit to see the Olympic  Cauldron. they once again set up a Christmas markey in the park that the cauldron lives I.  The market costs ten bucks cash to enter and its mostly German fare
