Travel Chronicles: Vancouver

Flew into Seattle- stayed for a night and drove to Vancouver.
Wonderful trip! Very freeing for my mind and spirit.

Places we ate:
Zeeks Pizza- Seattle
Rolls Kitchen- Sushi Vancouver
Fat Burger- Yaletown
Serious Pie- Seattle
Ribs- Korean BBQ
El Furniture Warehouse- Whistler Village (The donuts OMG)
Grassroots Pizza- Whistler Village



Nature is awesome- it constantly reminds me of God's greatness. The level of imagination, how everything works together, the beauty, the colors, the complexity and simplicity- seeing mountains up close and REAL SNOW! I am Texas born and bred so snow is a figment of our imagination we get slushed ice lol.

Granville Island- wonderful shopping!! Cascadia soaps(purchased) made with goats milk and oils I bought like 5 bars! I love soap- weird...The fresh fudge, unwaxed apples! I was in market heaven.

Capilano Suspension Bridge: AHHHHH I crossed it... I was totally scared going across but I looked down and the view was breathtaking. I wanted to be Pocahontas- have you ever seen a blue corn moon? Me either but I was feeling free. Hearing the rushing water, seeing the cedars, natural waterfalls within rock... Taking it all in.

The dessert scene was TRASH.... probably did not need it anyway. Visited this Transylvanian bakery and was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a slice of raspberry cheesecake... yeah it was the nursing home version of cheesecake... no bake, gelatin like... and the crust was not even Graham Cracker crust... Loss of 4 bucks... Lesson learned.

I drank more coffee than I do in one year combined. Found some great brews that I liked though.
1. London Fog
2. Cafe Medici
3. Carmadon

Visited the upscale Starbucks reserve as well as the original Starbucks in Pike Place.

Surprisingly Vancouver was very "Yellow" almost everyone was of Asian decent. Enjoyed the fresh air, not many smokers and the mountain air was so refreshing. I also took time to visit the Aboriginal Cultural Center and Museum- very educational in regards to Native Americans in BC- their plight and relationship with the Land. The Inuit, Saquamish and LilWat peoples sharing the land. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.

Drove up to Whistler! Home of the 2010 Olympics! Again the scenery was breath taking. I felt like I was in a nature video in the Tundra. All the trees, covered in snow, moving peak to peak in the Gondola. I am so thankful for being able to experience God's green earth! I was in my element. Free

Take a look a some of the pics. Hope you enjoy.

Travel Chronicles- Hot Springs, AR

Wonderful- Wonderful- Wonderful trip. Very relaxing- great small town feel. Where did we stay- "The Springs Hotel" Ok so we could have chosen a better hotel but it was cheap and "on the strip" Right near the national park and walking distance from most of the other sites. This hotel was archaic but what do expect from a 3 star hotel that raves about dead visitors lol.... it looked like a haunted hotel, the bed had a quilt that looked like my great great grandmother created it, no microwave or fridge, the outlets had rust coming out of them- not sure how safe that is, no hair dryer and one chair in the corner that was forest green- but hey we were not there for the hotel. Things to do: Hike in the national park- we took the "Dead Chiefs Trail" I was tired but bae on the other hand was Mr.Dora The Explorer. We ran into the old navy hospital turned asylum and it looked haunted as well. There is a theme going here. But there were small pockets of hot sprin...

Single But Ready: Greater is Coming

So I am up doing some grass roots research into pursuing some passions of mine... hair and fashion.  While texting a guy who is interested in me. And it hit me. I am ready to date again! Finally. Lordt I thought I was going to be stuck in that negative stage forever! By the way the title of this post is inspired by a podcast that I listened to- that helped get me through entitled: Single But READY.. check it out it is eye opening. So if you read some of my post from the August/September period you will note the harping of the breakup and my efforts to rebound date. Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in m...
