Jasper March 13-16, 2014

Off to Jasper for the weekend.  The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is hosting their annual PJ Party and we were given the opportunity along with Call the Kettle Black to have a Pop Up store at the JPL.  We arrived Thursday afternoon and went for Pizza and French Onion Soup at Bright Spot in town - they have my favourite French Onion Soup in the world, literally, it is better than in France.  Jan and Robyn spent the evening getting ready for the event and Scotty and I just relaxed.

We got up on Friday morning and got the Pop Up Shop set up.  While Jan and Robyn were working, Scotty and I went into town about 1 pm and had a breakfast skillet and beer for brunch.  We then walked around town and bought candy, beer and chocolate (bear claws) in that order.  Stopped at Jasper Brewing Company for a beer sampler and then back to the JPL to check on the girls.  Had a nap in the late afternoon and then off to dinner at Downstream Cafe - it was excellent.  Kate and Greg showed up late on Friday night to bring us more stock for the event.

On Saturday morning, we lounged around the main lodge until mid afternoon.   Went for lunch at Jasper Brewing Company with Scott, Kate ad Greg.  Back to the room for a nap.  Then to dinner at Olive which was also excellent.

On Sunday, I slept in (while Jan worked) and then we packed up and came home.

PV - February 18-22, 2014

… our last few days in PV were based on relaxing and eating.  We did spend a day in Sayulita doing some shopping, eating, beaching and body surfing.  All in all - a great trip!
