Gliding through Winter




The days are getting a little longer and the tempertures are slowly starting to rise. We thought we would take advantage an ok day outside and take in a nice afternoon skate at Olympic Plaza.. There were lots of families there when we got there but as it neared dinner time the crowd thinned out and we were able to get in some good skating.. We were there for about an hour just enjoying the outdoors, allbeit still on the chilly side, but not that bad!

As you might all know Kirby's 26th birthday is happening this week so I thought it might be fun to take him to Edmonton to celebrate!
We left yesterday morning and made the 3 hour dive to arrive at the hotel/mall at 12:00pm. As it was still early in the day our room wasn't ready yet so we walked down to the food court and had some chinese.
With several hours left to kill we started to venture around the mall and to our surprise we had covered the entire mall and gone into every store we wanted to within 2 hours. We had even checked out 'Ed's rec room' Formerly 'Red's Rec Room'.
Although nothing too much has chenged in the mall they no longer have all the unique stores with odds and ends which you could spend hours wandering around and the new Ed's is now just an arcade. It no longer has the bar and entertainment that Red's used to have.
Finally at 3:00 we were able to get into our room, which was huge.
I had booked the executive suite which had a small sitting area and a huge juccuzzi in the room. We putz about the room for a while and then I got ready and we headed down for a nice dinner at Moxies. After dinner there was no longer any adult entertainment in the mall other then the movie theatres so we retired to our room and had a jaccuzzi and watched a movie.. After a long day of driving and walking around we were pooped and decided to call it a night.
We left by 10:30 this morning as there was nothing left that we wanted to see.. Although we didn't have a lot to do we did have a good time, but I dont think we will be heading back anytime soon just because there really isn't a lot of adult activities in the mall anymore.. But thats ok.. Thats what Vegas is for! :)

Happy Valentines Day!



Well its a beautiful day for loving the ones you love!

The snow is going to start melting, birds are chirping and all is right in the world!

Tonight we are going to order in some Chinese food, have a bottle of wine and maybe hit the Starbucks and do some wintery skating at Olympic Plaza.. A nice a quiet cheap night at home is the best way to celebrate!

Hope everyone has a great Valentines!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, it has been a quiet time in the Adolph, McCabe household!
But who knows what future fun adventures we may have up our sleeves..
