Vancouver getaway

I think that there is no problem multi-tasking, but at a certain point the tasks become too many.

Working full-time, running a business, being a mom and wife, and keeping up with friends and other activities do become a bit too much at times. Usually, I don't get involved in too many things because I like the freedom of not being tied up all the time. Well, this spring I did not adhere to this very good way of thinking. Thus, the lack of blogging.

When things get busy, it is really good to just take a break and get away, which is exactly what I did. With Zoe gone to Bermuda on a "marine biology school trip," the rest of us decided to spend the weekend in Vancouver, Canada. The reason why I write Canada is because there is actually a Vancouver in the southe of Washington as well.

We have been to Vancouver a few times before and I must say it beats Seattle in many ways, in particular as regards to its beautiful waterfront. Seattle has a lot of work to do in that department.

The Drop at the waterfront is pretty cool and in the mountains across the water you can see a little bit of snow.


Little I wanted to climb the Drop, but mommy said no.


We ate a lot of fish and raw food on our trip, but for some reason I did not take any pictures of that.

However, I found some beautifully designed chocolate packages that I want to share with you. Unfortunately, I could not eat this chocolate because it contained dairy, and, for some silly reason, corn syrup, but I like the packages.
