Weekend in the 'Big City'

We got out of Smalliver for the weekend to visit with family and take in a little 'Big City' action. Scott was working this weekend with Billy Talent at the Virgin Music Festival so I decided to tag along for the trip and get out of the valley.

The weather this Victoria Day weekend was a lot drier at home than on the coast. But we weren't there for the weather, or at least I wasn't, Scott on the other hand had an outdoor concert venue to contend with and didn't appreciate the rain so much.

We went for dinner at a great Malaysian restaurant just up the street from our hotel. Our favourite dishes; Mee Goreng and Sambal Green Beans, so yummy!
My sister, Joy and I got in a little shopping between the raindrops and we stopped at our favourite sweets bakery on Broadway for some delish cupcakes. You have got to stop by one of their locations if you are every in the Kitsilano or English Bay area. Check out the different confections they create! Just the names alone make your mouth water.
It was a great weekend overall with shopping, eating and some good family time.
