On my short NW wish list: seeing a Wild game in Vancouver. Time it took to get around to it: less than 2 weeks!
A old friend from school – like junior high old skool – invited me to go. My friend Karlie lives in Bellingham (about 1.5 hours north of Seattle) and invited me to go. We:
- did the border-crossing thing – knew I renewed that passport for some reason
- stayed at the Vancouver Marriott – which was gorgeous and I was seriously thinking about stealing the bed
- almost got run over by some crazy motorcade
- did some sweet shopping – if you ever need some Canadian-themed clothing, check this out
- saw some crazy Olympic preparations
The Wild lost, but it wasn’t a blow-out. As much as I feel like a sissy, I dressed in team-neural clothing. Glad I did, as those crazy Canadians are a tad more aggressive than Minnesotans…which I was surprised to discover…thought they were a gentle folk.
In the good words of Forrest Gump, “that’s all I have to say about that.” Here are the pics:

Hmmm...wonder who they were transporting....
