Olympic madness

This past weekend was gorgeous out!! Well, Valentine’s Day was at least. The weather so far isn’t great for the athletes up on Cypress, but for the tourists and Vancouver natives it’s been perfect!!!!

After my mini photo shoot on Sunday Jame, MJB & myself headed downtown. Since I work right in the heart of Yaletown parking fortunately wasn’t  an issue. We walked around enjoying the sun and taking in the sites. It was sooooo fun and MJB was a rockstar. Literally and figuratively. People were snapping his pic left, right and center and he did so well amongst the crowds. I am sure he got stepped on a couple of times.

I love the energy everywhere!!! This weekend is going to be loads of fun checking out the pavilions, concerts and of course watching Canada kick USA’s butt on Sunday!!!!!

Not a lot of news coverage about Vancouver itself and all the "decor" on the streets. Awesome photoz - they really tell the story.
