Day 23

Favourite Vacation

My favourite vacation was when during Spring Break of Grade 9. Every winter my grandparents Snowbird down to Palm Springs and that year, they had invited myself and my brother to go visit them during Spring Break. My brother, for whatever reason, didn’t want to fly down, so I ended up going all by myself!

It was the first trip on a plane that I could really remember (I vaguely remember our place trip when we went to Disneyland). I landed in Palm Springs wearing a sweater and pants and quickly switched to shorts and a sleeveless shirt! My very first stop was to a “family” pub called the Beerhunter, where my grandparents insisted I drink virgin strawberry daiquiris. They also took me my very first Target, to an awesome waterpark complete with giant wave pool, a night market, a day market (where I got a little bit of heat stroke), and to my very first Mongolian grill. I also got to see my Nana, which was awesome because I didn’t get to see her very often.

That was my most favourite trip. There’s a couple really close seconds, including me and Kyle’s all-inclusive trip to Vancouver for his Top in Trades award. (Click the link, he’s the second article from the top!) Perhaps I’ll write about that another day!

Day 22

Favourite City

I really haven’t been to many places to have a favourite city. I really do enjoy Vancouver though.

I don’t know why, but I just like visiting. I don’t want to live there, but I love taking in the craziness of the city. I love the sounds on the seagulls, the smell of the ocean/smog and the lights. I love visiting Chinatown. I mean, where else can you get a lizard on a stick?

Ah Vancouver, I hope to visit you again soon :)

Day 21

A Picture of Myself

Did I already do this one? Hmm … I’m pretty sure I did. Regardless … here we go:

That’s me with my new set of spectacles. I went to the eye doctor on Thursday and as it turns out, the vision in my left eye is blurry, therefore making my vision as a whole crappy. So, it’s glasses for me when I’m watching TV, driving, etc. I can wear them all the time if I want to, but they’re taking a while to get used to.
