the vacation.... (short & medium version)

in consideration of grant, who is currently working too hard to keep up with his blog list (and i freely admit i haven't been able to catch up on all your blogs since i went on holidays either.)

the short version:

  • took some time off work
  • used 3 days to get ready for the trip
  • drove to vancouver
  • drove to seattle
  • drove home
  • had 5 more days off
  • relaxed. got sick
  • back to work.

the medium version:
  • took some time off work.
  • used 3 days to get ready for the trip.
  • dropped the young'un off at the grandparents. yes.... they knew it was going to be about 10 days.
  • drove to vancouver to see a couple friends out there, since it's been about 4 years since i've seen them. got caught up on some stuff, and met their son (again, but 4 years makes a lot of difference). went to see the capilano suspension bridge, spent the day at stanley park - mostly at the vancouver aquarium. had a lovely dinner.
  • only spent a couple days in vancouver, then we headed on down to seattle. dropped into hardwick's hardware, half price books, seattle centre (which has the space needle, science center, emp, and sci-fi musuem/hall of fame) and pike place market.
  • drove home.
  • had 5 more days off.
  • relaxed. got sick.
  • back to work.
long version follows:
