Spring is finally in full bloom out here in Vancouver and it’s weird to think it will be the last time for a year that Scott and I will experience Spring. Vancouver is one of the most amazing cities I have been in Spring. The streets are lined in shades of pink, purple and white

What did you do for Earth Hour? Scott and I turned off all our lights and electronics and headed over with a shoulder bag full of beer to our friends Mike and Amber. The plan… spend the evening drinking by candle light.  We were running a bit late and didn’t end up leaving our place
