may 4

oops, it seems to be may already. only 9 weeks to go until our disney cruise. yippee!

di and stewart arrived friday in remarkably good spirits in spite of a 2.5 hour delay due to some baggage fiasco at manchester. they head off to whistler for a few days on monday so we've been making the most of a couple of days here before they go.

yesterday we went to steveston and today we did the horse-drawn carriage tour around stanley park for the first time. i learnt a LOT of very interesting things about things in, and around, the park. afterwards we had a late brunch at the revolving restaurant in the harbour tower which was a great deal and a fantastic experience. we pretty much had the place to ourselves and the cost was no more than the comined cost would have been for a trip to the observation deck and lunch somewhere else. i always forget how iffy toby is with heights until he makes a grab for the inside wall of an elevator in something like that. he did remarkably well though - he had a window seat at lunch, although he did always keep a very tight grip on the back of his chair with at least one hand!

next weekend we'll be celebrating aly's birthday so everyone will be back from their trips and most importantly i will be in the middle of a much-needed week off work [i've been VERY tired lately and could use the break]. NS
