Went to White Rock over the weekend. It's a little town about an hr plus away from school with a beautiful beach and great food. It was such a pretty and peaceful place, extremely suitable for retirement. =)
The ride down was uneventful save for ck. HAHA, the guy got blasted by bird poop AGAIN! (twice in 2 weeks, someone should give the bird a prize). Being the superstitious people we are, we reminded ourselves to buy the lottery when we hit White Rock. The last time CK kena-ed bird shit, we won A DOLLAR! (we spent 7 bucks! haha) Exciting.
I think we have extremely good luck with the weather cos everytime we plan a big trip, it'd be sunny and bright, almost like it was not raining just cos higher powers didnt want to spoil our trip. =) With a weather forecast of 90% rain, we were more than prepared for the rain that has taken over by storm lately (no pun intended). However, what greeted us on Sat morning was the big, friendly SUN. Goodness me, it was actually WARM that day... And because of our amazingly good luck, we caught the gorgeous sunset. I think it was a first for many of us, to see the sun slowly dipping behind the mountains amidst the pale blue sky. It's one of those moments you think life is really beautiful. haha. =) REALLY!
We went for a crazy dinner at a beachside grill. Imagine fresh seafood (Fish and chips, calamari, honey orange chicken, seafood platter!) watching the sunset and a Canucks game. =) Think it was the most decadent dinner I had in a really long while, but it was so good. yum yum. Chris and Cass planned beach activities for us after dinner. They were dropping hints all day that we were gonna play dog and bone and Pepsi-Cola (duh... we really played this. Cass LURVES this) But no. These 2 ladies planned a really sweet surprise for us on the beach. We were made to close our eyes and sit around while they prepared stuff. By the time they were done, they had magically whipped out a cake complete with candles, and a little prezzie for each of us!! SO TOUCHED. =) these gals. *beams* Obviously, ck got "pritzels" (pretzels), joe got his Cinnamon Bun (which he promptly dropped on the sand, TWICE!), Selena and her coke, Dan with chocs, yx with his fav chips, and i got TIMBITS! love these gals.. More was planned, when we realised they bought FIREWORKS! GOODNESS ME! =) mini fireworks that i wont even dream of playing at home... So, while the gals stayed back, the guys tried to figure out how to light it to prevent any bodily harm done to any of us. Daniel the Brave then proceeded to light it. SO PRETTY. sigh... so pretty! We had sparklers later to end of the little beach party. These gals really thought of everything. =)
We hit back to our little place for the night. It was a little apartment, complete with kitchen and 1 bedroom meant for 2. Of course, we squeezed our way in there w/o paying the extra $20 they would normally charge for each extra person. =) It was such a nice, cosy place facing the sea. There, we had the craziest rounds of CraNium. FOUR rounds to be exact. IT was mad, but so much fun. Think we played all the way till 3am... we all managed to fall asleep finally after chris decided to stop talking. =)
Sigh... such a fun trip. =) Think we wont have many more to come, with all the work starting to pile up. We're all having different plans for the coming weekends so it's time to cherish whatever time we have left. =)
Enjoy the pictures! (Halloween is so happening here, people REALLY take it seriously!)














Actually, there were plenty more costumes. From Hitler, to Paris Hilton, Brad Pitt, Willy Wonka, BARBIE (complete with own movable box), the muppets, to Wonderwoman... Pretty much any and everything u can think of. It was a totally cool night. =)
