This past weekend was my 31st birthday. I was super surprised by my bf and my friends. I started off my birthday week taking off work on Friday and Monday. Friday I went to morning yoga at Vancouver Bikram. Then over to Body Energy Juice Bar for my favourite King Kale Smoothie. I signed up for my first purchase there and received a free smoothie for my next visit. YAY! Next I went to grab lunch at La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop on Cambie and Broadway. I had their steam cod taco on special for $3 and the seared tuna taco for $5. I preferred their steam cod taco special. But the tacos were nothing compared to the tacos at Tacofino in Tofino. I missed the tacos there so that is why I went to eat tacos that day. Cravings were not satisfied L but its ok.
Afterwards, I went straight home to finish packing for my
surprise trip. Bf told me to take 2 days off work for us to go somewhere. He
didn’t say where but he told me what to pack for the trip.
Bf came around 2:30pm to come pick me up to go watch the
Star Wars movie. We waited till the crowd died down. Bf bought tix beforehand
and he got 3D, Dbox tickets, reserved seating. But it ended up being the night
before. So the cashier was super friendly and she gave us regular seating, 3D
and I was glad it wasn’t busy so we still got good seats. We had a quick meal
of hot dog, burger and fries and of course the Cherry Fanta. The movie was good
but nothing over the top for me. (sorry hardcore Star Wars fan). The main
actress reminded me so much of Keira Knightly (younger version) the overall
movie was good to me.
Afterwards we headed out to our weekend journey. He headed
over to Surrey were we were going to cross the border and beforehand he made
sure I had my nexus pass which I did. So he told me we were going to Seattle.
Which made me so disappointed because I was worried about all the money we were
going to spend on the trip because our dollar was so low. I felt uncomfortable
with shopping and eating around the US. But I didn’t want to complain so I went
with it. He said my friends wanted to get together for dinner before we left so
we head over to Kappa Sushi in White Rock. The food was alright but the
service….WOW…..slowest service ever! The food dishes came one after the other.
We would finish one dish and the next one will come but we had 6 ppl and the
food was devoured so fast because the service was soo slow. We waited about an
hour to 2 for our food. I probably won’t go here again unless I was in the area
craving sushi but the sushi in Vancouver is much better.
Then we realized we were still hungry so we decided to grab
McDonalds before we headed out. I was full but I wanted a hot chocolate. We
ended up at White Rock Beach where we drove into a 4 level condo. I was super
confused by then because we were all driving our cars together into the driveway.
Then I realized we were all staying together. I was sooo happy! The place
looked amazing. All in white, large white comfy couches, a super cool looking
fire place, a big screen tv in the living rooms and all the rooms. Bath tubs
everywhere, a raining shower head, heated towel racks, the view of the beach
from the patio. It was amazing. And more of my friends were on the way.
We started off the rest of the night with drinks and snacks
we played Fred which is basically a truth and dare game. We ended off watching
a movie and playing more games. Overall, I enjoyed every little part of my trip
so far.
2nd night: Saturday
We woke up to Mark and
Denise preparing breakfast of sausages, eggs and cinnamon buns. It was a simple
but delicious meal. We then rest for a bit and then headed out for lunch at the
Hemingway Public House. I had the fish tacos (because I was still craving
tacos) and a seafood chowder while bf had the $4 breakfast consisting of eggs,
toast and sausages and we both had a Ceaser which was on special. Afterwards we
took a 30 min walk around the area to Save Ons at Semiahmoo Mall in Surrey. We
grabbed some more snacks, bath salts, shampoo and liquor for the rest of our
stay.
In the morning, we prepared the broth for dinner for hot
pot. I’m so surprised my bf was so well prepared with getting each and every
single item I enjoyed for hot pot. We played some dancing games on the PS4.
Just chilled and had fun.
For dinner we got together had a great meal. And bf
surprised me with my favourite cake: Strawberry Shortcake from Save Ons. Best
cake ever! Blew out 31 candles -.-“ couldn’t blow them all out unfortunately
getting too old. Afterwards, we watched a Jackie Chan movie, I started a bath
and I just relaxed for the rest of the evening.
Day 3: Sunday
John prepared some pancakes and sausages for breakfast and
we had more hot pot for lunch. Played some more drinking games and some people
passed out for a nap. At the end of the day most people started to go home
because everyone had work the next day. Bf, me, John and Hannah had our 3rd
session of hot pot. Watched some animal documentary and just relaxed.
Afterwards, they had to go home so me and bf started another bath and finished
the series: Lost. Super confusing and I realized I spent so much time watching
all 6 seasons of lost to find out the ending. I wish the ending was more epic.
Day 4: Monday
Me and bf woke up. Started our day with a bath, showered and
started packing. We ended up decided to do our last session of hot pot. Cleaned
up the place and just relaxed watching some Netflix and enjoying each others
company. We watched the sunset and met up with the care taker. The place was
clean, dishes were done, laundry was done and we were on our way back home.
Ordered some pizza and watched Ninja Turtles. We had a good night and I had an
awesome weekend thanks to my dearest. I love him and I’m so thankful to have
him in my life. This was ultimately the best birthday I had ever had in my
life!
