Home from Canada
Jul. 17th, 2005 12:51 amIt was an incredibly pleasant and easy trip! We're finally getting to know our way around Vancouver, a bit, which is really helping... especially knowing to go over to the Aldergrove border crossing. Very short wait time both going up and coming back.
I wanted to update before heading to bed, even though I'm incredibly bleary-eyed... the whole trip was fun, though. From reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cousinjean's "The Butterfly Effect" aloud to rackham on the way up, to our trip to the Vancouver Ikea (they have different stuff from the Ikea in Seattle!), to ending up buying our copy of the Canadian edition of the Harry Potter book at a Wal-Mart (of all places), to the House Filk at shaddyr's place (thanks so much for inviting us! We had a great time, even if I did find it incredibly freaky to be singing in front of strangers again for the first time in ages), to the stop at the grocery store (to pick up some good chocolate, some golden syrup, and some All-Dressed crisps), and finally the drive home (while I read aloud the first three chapters of Half-Blood Prince). It makes for a full day, but I love these occasional trips up to Vancouver.
And now it's a race against time... will I finish the new Harry Potter book before I get accidentally spoiled! As it is, I'm very grateful to all my friends on LJ who have been good about putting in text cuts!
