Two Years and Counting

Today is our two year anniversary of our wedding at Poet's Cove, Pender Island.... how quickly times goes by. As I type this I am also staring out of our apartment window at the Vancouver mountains and Stanley Park and so we have come some way in two years. Although I also notice that the weather is poor in comparison to the day we got married; there is no way that Emily or Scott M would get sunstroke with today's rain.

We celebrated our two year wedding anniversary in two ways. Firstly, we spent the weekend on Bowen Island, which is a 25 minute ferry ride away from West Vancouver. A place that I visited last year for a day trip and where, Nancy's grandfather has a street named after him, from when he was the Vancouver Mayor in 1930s. We borrowed a friends holiday cottage for the weekend and enjoyed a very relaxing weekend. The highlights of the trip included a long hike around the local lake, dinner at a little restaurant called Blue Eyed Mary's and a couple of drinks at the local pub. We even had a wild deer visit the cottage's garden for a feed. Bowen Island is very picturesque and the countryside was scenic beyond belief, we certainly felt isolated from civilisation which heightened our relaxation.

Secondly, we have a table reserved, this evening, at the Teahouse Restuarant which is situated in Stanley Park, upon the hill overlooking English Bay. This is a place that Nancy has wanted to eat at for a long time and we just needed a special occasion to be a reason. Not sure it will be the Birch in Woburn, but I'm sure it will perfect to celebrate our first two years of our marriage (with many more in the pipeline). I better sign off and get ready to leave, so here's to the future.
