Vancouver & Seattle Trip via Instagram

September 08, 2012

I'm always up for a quick trip to Vancouver. Because I get to eat. And eat some more. And more. My trips over to the West coast normally consist of the following in a cycle: eat, shop, eat, sleep, eat, visit the beach, repeat. It never ends - the food in Vancouver is so much better than what I can get in Edmonton, so I use every opportunity I have to take in the calories and enjoy. Here's just some snippets of my week away - in essence, previews of posts to come :)

    1. From what I understand, the dried geckos are used as a preservative LOL. So very likely we've had some before haha

  7. Hey babe, it seem like you did some research. So sad I couldn't join you on this trip. We have to meet up next time.

    Did you get a chance to eat the pineapple buns from Ledo in Richmond? They make it fresh every 10 mins. Love your sandals and your outfits! So cute!
