5 things to do this weekend!

I am so excited for all this sun that I can't decide which summer activities to do this weekend. Here are 5 ideas.


1) Farmer's Market:

I love farmer's markets. The one in Kits is on Sundays and I love riding my bike over there and filling up my basket with fresh produce for the upcoming week. I'll be there on Sunday for sure. Check out this website for the farmer's market closest to you!

UPDATE: Ending up hitting up the West End farmer's market this morning. So good. Yellow beets, Little Qualicum Cheeseworks cheese, kale and some baby potatoes. Can't wait to make dinner!!

2) Third Beach:

One of Vancouver's best beaches is Third Beach. Grab a friend or two, some eats, and ride your bikes out there for an afternoon of sun and relaxation. You will not be disappointed. I might head out there Saturday afternoon.

3) Gelatio:

I adore Gelatio! True I usually get lemon and raspbery...ok always get lemon and raspberry but you don't have too. With the heat we are going to have this weekend some gelatio is a must! In Vancouver you have tons of different places to choose from and I have never experience on that wasn't good. Maybe this weekend I'll branch out and try a new flavour.....

4) Hit up a Patio:

Anyone who knows me knows I love patios. I will sit on a patio in the middle of winter if there is even the tiniest beam of sunlight on it. So you know I will be heading to a patio at some point this weekend. I have been meaning to go to The Pirate Pub on the seawall under the Burrard St bridge since I moved into my new place a week ago. Its is about 4 mins away. I think this weekend might the weekend.

5) Vancouver Canadians Game:

I can not wait to go to a Vancouver Canadians game. I'm not a huge fan of baseball or watching it on tv but take me out to a ball game!! Who doesn't love sitting in the sun with some friends, having a cold beer and cheering (yelling at) the ball players. I say sign me up!

Bonus if you go on certain nights they have fireworks at the end of the game!

Now go and enjoy this weekend full of sun.

A quick update

Some outfits and some life as seen through my iPhone in the last little bit.

Sunshine City

This weekend my man and I headed up to Kelowna for the long weekend. It was hot and sunny! FINALLY! We had tickets for Center of Gravity, which is a music festival and sporting event. Volleyball, Basketball, Motorcross, Wakeboarding, Mountain Biking, and more.

First up we hit up a couple wineries on the day we arrived, Quail's Gate, Mt. Boucherie, and Little Straw Vineyards. It was a lot of fun to do a few tastings and find some new wines that we hadn't tried before. We even had a nice lunch at Little Straw Vineyard over looking the vineyards and the lake.

First Stop: Quail's Gate Winery

Our home away from home.

We stay in this little tent in our friend's uncle's yard. It was quite nice, they even have a pool and boats. SO much fun. We played a few games of bean bag with the family and it was a hit. Of course everyone was challenging everyone else.

Beach dancing.

LA Riots.

 At COG we danced a lot! On the beach, on grass, pretty much anywhere we could. It was a lot of fun!

Just a couple of goof balls!

Happy Times!

Boating on Okanagan Lake.

Pre-wakeboarding.

Wakeboarding.

Post Wakeboarding.

My Man, the wake surfer.

Mission Hill Winery.

It is pretty fancy.

Cute!

Last Stop: Mission Hill Winery.

On our way home we hit up one last winery, Mission Hill. They are a fancy, fort-like winery that make a lot of wines that restaurants serve, and the tasting was good! We then headed back on the road home to VanCity. It was a great weekend away, both fun and relaxing. Exactly what one wants from a mini vacation. Hope everyone had a great long weekend.
