A night out

This weekend, Kevin and I were able to get away for a day / night. John and Esther and the girls graciously agreed to have our 3 kids for the night while we enjoyed some "kidless" time. A huge thank-you to them!!! As much as we love our children, we do realize the importance of doing things together without them! We began by dropping the kids off at around 10:30 on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day and we knew that they would have loads of fun with their cousins, riding their bikes and swimming in the pool! We then headed off to Timmy's, of course, for a late breakfast and a beverage for on the road. Our next stop was at the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This is a place that I have always wanted to go see. We also had a 2 for 1 coupon, which also helped. (And, FYI, if you are a B.C. resident, once you pay for your admission, you then have a year's membership. Now we can go back with our kids for free!)

I love heights so walking across this bridge was quite fun. I was amazed at how much it actually moved as you were going across it. Not for someone who is afraid of heights! We saw a few people holding on pretty tight!

Once across, there are many boardwalks to walk along with great view spots. They have also built a Tree Top Adventure, which is a series of mini-suspension bridges linked between the trees.

A rare semi-decent phone of the two of us. It really doesn't happen that often!

Our next stop was just up the road at the Cleveland Dam. It was a beautiful day so we walked around for a while.

Watching all that water power was pretty amazing!We then headed out for supper. If forgot to take a picture of the place but it was a pub with good food and we might have enjoyed a malted beverage or two!

We had planned to head to check into our hotel after supper and get freshened up and dressed for the Symphony. However, we were a little behind schedule and traffic was busier than we had planned for, so we ended up getting ready in our car in a parking lot! We laughed about it and thought it was a good thing neither of us were too 'high maintenance"!

This was Kevin's favourite picture of the night. Check out his reflection at the top!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 26 hour get-away. Hopefully we can do it again next year!!!
