Thursday night I boarded a flight to Edmonton to meet Kev It was my first time flying WEST JET, and can I say i LOVED IT!!!!! I mean loved it so much I am writing a letter to tell them how great they are and how perfect my short but important flight was:)
Kev picked me up at 10 pm and we headed to Hinton, Alberta..... home of..... well home of.... i don't know, its Hinton, its small, but it was our home for the night. We settled in around midnight and the alarm went off again around 7 am.
We headed to the lobby for a small breakfast that consisted of 3 hard boiled egg (whites) and 1 small organic yogurt with a mini portion of corn flakes..... oh and an apple for the road.
We grabbed a Starbucks and headed to Jasper for some real food:)
We got to Jasper around 10 am and searched for what we anticipated would be the 'cutest' eclectic hippie style cafe for a delicious meal.
Have you ever been to Jasper?????
we ended up at Smitty's and settled for oatmeal and more egg whites.
( you CAN still eat healthy on the road people!!!!!)
NO EXCUSES!!!!!
After breakfast number 2 we strolled the streets for a few minutes taking in the beautiful view and continued on our way towards Vancouver.
The scenery was incredible the whole drive, wild life, mountains, frozen lakes and hillsides. I couldn't stop taking pictures, even if to anyone else they look just like the one before.
We drove to Kamloops before stopping for dinner, where we found an always trusting Milestones and enjoyed a delicious meal, really our first legit meal of the day.
I had the shanghai chicken vegetable pasta with brown rice pasta and Kev had the curry rice bowl...YUMMMY:)
On our way out of Kamloops, it occurred to Kev that there was a rather important hockey game happening the next night in Vancouver, and we would be in the general vicinity.
Literally within 5 minutes he had craigslist up on his phone and had tracked down 2 tickets for us, so before finding a hotel for the night we had picked up 2 playoff tickets for game 5 between our VANCOUVER CANUCKS and NASHVILLE PREDATORS.
We checked into our hotel and hit the hay!!!! Again the alarm was set for 7 am, and up we got and headed to Whistler for our first snowboard trip together.
I acted as teacher for the day as Kev hadn't been boarding since he was ...... 17 or so ( without giving away how GOD AWFUL old he is....) lol it had been a while!!
He did awesome and we had a really great time, had some lunch and a boozy coffee and made our way back to the hotel to quickly change and head to the game.
We both had a few friends in the arena watching as well and so after what ended up being a sad game we all met up and made a night out of it!
~We had a really great time with old and new friends.
I woke up this morning, Sunday (Mothers Day) feeling a bit blah..... even though its meant to be a great and special day, I felt a bit ...well.. BLAH~
After checking my Face book numerous times through the morning and reading every ones mothers day posts..... I called my step mom who is FABULOUS and wished her a happy day and reminded her I loved her.
We caught he 12:30 ferry home to Nanaimo, so we could pick little Jackson up from his gramma's house. (Kevin's mom is always so happy to watch him for us .... and he loves her so its really a mini vacation for him as well)
Once we got home and I did my Sunday errands, which always consist of the GROCERY STORE I began a baking / food prep extravaganza!!!!
Tonight I made:
Celebration Lentil Loaf ( Whole Foods recipe)
Mini Turkey meatloaf (18 of them)
a way too big Kale and Butternut squash salad
4 hours later Im going to bed..........
Back to reality tomorrow.... hard work in the gym, clean regimented eating and water!!!!!!!!
