Happy Happy Labour Day Weekend

What a wonderful weekend! On Friday, the Wans drove down from Vancouver for a visit.


Saturday was spent in Richmond, did a little shopping. Dropped by the Chocolate Factory in Burnaby and the Chinese Classical Garden in Vancouver Chinatown (it was a pretty crappy garden though hehe).



Then we headed to West Vancouver to visit Byron and his parents. Auntie Teresa and Uncle Spencer made yummy yummy food!



Sunday after church, I found out our Pastor Dave is pretty cool with is motorcycle!


After lunch, we were going to go see some sand sculptures at the Harrison Hot Spring. It is a little town about an hour away from Abbotsford. When we were about to head out, I realized only half the sand sculptures are on display, the rest were still being carved (it is an annual competition they have, local and national competitions). I hope we will have the change to go this coming weekend when all the sculptures are finished. So we decided to go to Chilliwack, another tiny little town 30 minutes from Abbotsford. There is a garden there with some beautiful displays of plants and flowers. So off to the Minter Garden we went!









For Dinner, LP cooked for once! That's only because it was my birthday! Fried rice! Yummy!


We went down to Settle on Monday. It was great seeing Isaac, Steph and Emilie again. Isaac and Steph didn't know each other from MCAC (one went to English service, the other went to Chinese service), they only met in Seattle. This is in deed a small world after all!


World's first Starbucks!


Of course I had to buy a buy of coffee from there.


Seattle's famous Pike Market...



Seattle Aquarium....





We met up with Steph and Emilie in the later afternoon. Steph just moved to a new place on Sunday, near where Bill Gate lives!


Tour of Microsoft... this is where Mr. Yuen works...



Isaac pretending to work hard at his desk...


Wow, this is messy!



You have probably seen what this table can do (on You Tube)! Way cool!




Can you tell what this building is??


My Home in Montreal...


Demo from You Tube...




Dinner was just amazing! I got to choose between Italian (no way!), steak (didn't feel like it), and fondue (LP and I had a really bad experience at Fondumental in Montreal, I was if-y about this choice, but I wanted to prove us wrong and that there IS a good fondue place in this world!) I'm SO glad I chose FONDUE! We had a 4 course fondue meal in the evening. Just... amazing... Indescribable!

1st course, cheese fondue...



2nd course, salad... like no other salads you have ever tasted!


3rd course, main course. Lobster tails, shrimps, sirloin steak, beef, pork, chicken, pasta... TOO yummy!



4th course, dessert. Chocolate fondue...




And... 5 more-than-satisfied tummies! We spent three hours there, so sad when it came time to leave :(
