Today was beautiful weather in Whistler, blue skies, hot temperatures and no work for me. I was sleeping in, which is a terrible habit lately and thankfully got woken up by a text. A text from Ashley Barker inviting me down to watch some fireworks in the city. The idea sounded splendid and a coincidence that Steph Weber and I had been talking about how we would love to see some fireworks the night before. So I jumped on my Iphone and texted the girls. We acquired a good crew consisting of Steph Weber, Katlyn Murdza, Jessica Annabell and myself.  After Steph and Kate got off work we all showered and met up to head down to the city. We listened to loud house music and told embarrassing stories from childhood in the car. The ride was quick and when we got to Vancouver we parked at Chrigy’s place. Once we were settled we started walking from Yaletown to English Bay. Looking for a restaurant that would satisfy all our taste-buds. Katlyn is a picky eater who loves straight american style food. I personally don’t like wasting money on boring food and love to enjoy ethnic cheap food while in the city. These requirements make it hard to find a balance of where we eat. We settled on this Pirate pub on the water which turned out to be perfect. Jess and I split bang bang shrimp and a salad, Katlyn had muscles, Steph and Chrig had skillets.  We finished up dinner right as the Fireworks were starting. I was trying to lead all the girls towards where Ashley was but they were highly distracted by lights, needs and cute boys on bicycles. Steph went off too dip her feet in the ocean and Katlyn fell in a hole in the beach. This random guy holding a piece of cardboard and boo’s yelled at the “pretty ladies”. His named was Scott, he was a little intoxicated and alone with a cardboard drawing of Tupac. We welcomed him into our grouping of friends and we watched the rest of the fireworks with him. After they were done, it was a sea of people walking down the streets of Vancouver. We walked aimlessly trying to make it to Rock Mountain Chocolate Factory before they closed for candy apples. We didn’t make it on time, so we walked back to Chrigys. We got ahold of one of Scotts friends to bring Scott too him before we left for home. We then dropped Scott off at Park Royal to his friend who didn’t like us too much and were off….back on the 99 north towards Whistler. We made a stop in Squamish and acquired lots of free food from Rick James of Tim Hortons. What a night.
