Birthdays and Anniversaries Oh My

This weekend I want to give a shout out to my Nanny. It is her 80th birthday. Happy Birthday Nanny! You're the best. I hope I'm half as awesome as you are when I'm 80! Hope you enjoy this post and wish I was there to celebrate this milestone with you!

So couple of weeks ago on the 14th it was our second anniversary. 2 years! I can't believe it's 2 years it feels...so....much...longer than that??

Just kidding we're having a great time! So for our anniversary I arranged for us to get a couple's massage at Spa Utopia in the Pan Pacific Hotel downtown near the cruise ships. I had a gift certificate too so we decided to splurge. It is a beautiful spa.

We took the Canada Line to the waterfront stop. It was super fast, I could not believe it. Two stops and we were there. Love the Canada Line.

We went in and they show you to the change rooms. They give you towels, a bathrobe, sandals and a locker. There are all kinds of of awesome things like cucumber or lemon flavoured water, beauty products, etc. We got changed and then came out to the lounge where they serve anti-ox tea and nuts and fruit like apricots, grapes and figs. They came and got us and we had a relaxing, fantastic Swedish massage. Afterwards we had some more healthy snacks and took our time getting cleaned up. We then went outside and it was a gorgeous day.

We walked around down by Canada Place and took a look at the new convention centre. It is new for the olympics. It is massive and the seawall goes all around it.

We watched the float planes take off and then we took a seat at this grill down by waterfront.

We had some yummy mussels, pizza and some fresh Granville Island beers.

We walked all around and came across this new outside art.

It is a circle of red metal statues of men squating. It looks really odd from a distance as they look very real.

For dinner we went out to our favourite Indian restuarant. We hadn't been there for a while, yum!

I got Mike some new sneakers especially for doing the grind. They are super light and have gripping soles especially for sports like that.


Mike got me beautiful Tiffany earrings and a necklace

They match last year's bracelette which is my favourite piece of jewelry. I'm so spoiled! Last year was supposed to be paper and this year coton, but I'm not complaining for sure.

We walked back to the Canada Line station. It is one of the coolest stations. It's in the historic Waterfront station which is a really beautiful place. Gorgeous old historic building.




The next weekend was Mike's birthday. I got him some new roller blades that he really likes. His old ones were starting to fall apart and he uses them nearly every day with the dogs.

I also got him an icecream cake which he must have on his birthday to make it complete. :)

I wanted to have a birthday party for him, but he was not having it. Instead we went to a UFC event with our neighbour-friends. We had a fantastic time and discovered a new restaurant that is a great place for the events in the future. They came over and we dusted off rockband and had an fun time into the wee hours.

Tomorrow we're actually going to a Pearl Jam concert and really looking forward to it. They are one of my all time favourite bands and on my "have-to-see-in-this-life" list. Here I come Eddie!
