Vancouver, BC & The Canucks

Shawn decided we needed a little vacation - his company merged and he's been working 12 to 14 hour NIGHT shifts so that the transition goes as smoothly as possible. He needed it. No wait, he *deserved* it.

He got some great seats to the Canucks game, about 6 rows from the ice! And with Canada's dollar being worth less than ours (if you can imagine) we got a steal on a beautiful hotel room at Le Soleil.

Vancouver is such a beautiful, modern, city-city. Very chic, very metro. We even had a few snow flurries to brighten our walk around the city.

The Canucks won 3 to 1 and we proceeded to celebrate with fellow Canucks fans into the night!

Love that you can see your reflection in the shot of the view from your room. Very cool!!!

Your hockey pictures bring me back to the days of high school/college when I had season tickets to the Winterhawks - our junior hockey team. Gotta love the energy of a hockey game!!!
