We are family!

My great Aunt and Uncle were visiting Vancouver this week. They took the Via train starting from Toronto last Saturday morning and arrived in Vancouver Tuesday morning. They stayed at a hotel downtown and did some sightseeing during the day while I was at work (I didn't have enough vacation days to take any while they were here). I went to their hotel after work on Wednesday and we had dinner at Milestone's a few blocks away. I had some stuff to do on Thursday so they were on their own. Friday I met them again after work at their hotel and then we stopped by the beach while the sun was setting and my uncle took a few pictures. Then it was off to The Macaroni Grill! It was a very nice place, a mansion basically, complete with valet parking (which, of course, we took advantage of!). It was super yummy and as a nice suprise, the table next to us had a birthday. This was great because one of the kitchen staff came out and sang Happy Birthday, in Italian Opera no less! Here's a pic of us:



Then on Saturday morning I picked them up and showed them my apartment. Then it was off to lunch at the The Bread Garden before it was time to take them to the airport.

All in all, a great visit!
