A few months have gone by without any blog about our trip down the the Coast to the Olympics. It was a bit of a spur of the moment decision. Junior REALLY wanted to go down and see what all the hype was about as did I. We had watched the Olympic coverage night and day for the first week and then decided that the last weekend there would be some great going's on. There were to be a lot of medals predicted for the weekend and the final hockey game was on Sunday. Junior wanted to watch it with my Daddio so we packed up The Pack and headed down. The weather was pretty crummy - lots of rainy spouts be we were able to get in some good time down in all the action. We wandered around the City and saw all the cool spots. Took some pics and had some lunch with my family on Robson. Kim was working at BC Place at some of the gates and with the volunteers so she wasn't able to meet up with us. They were prepping for the closing ceremonies and so she was SUPER busy. It was really neat to see the City all done up in Olympic spirit. Flags everywhere and lots of Olympic garb on everybody. 
We cruised down to the Molson Hockey House and the across from the Olympic Village.
We walked over to Robson Square and got to see a bit of an impromtu sighting of the curling ladies showing off their Olympic medals. We tried to get over to the HBC Official Store for some more garb (as the Penticton stores were pretty sold out) but the line was like majorly long and around the block. It's a good thing that Junior's Mom had gotten us some toques for Christmas and my Mama had sent us a 'care package' to kick off the Opening Ceremonies in style as there wasn't much left in any of the stores we had gone to.
We ended our day-long tour with a photo at The Cauldron which was pretty darn cool. To top off the weekend we got to watch Canada win the Gold Medal hockey match with my Dad and my Grandpa! All in all - a whirl wind tour but SOOOOOO worth it!
