Day 9


On this day we had dinner with Allan's family - The Umlas. Prior to dinner Auntie Yolly was so adamant about taking us out to eat so we had appys at White Spot. By the time we got to the Chinese restaurant, I was ready for round two. I don't normally eat like this but hey, I'm on vacation! Uncle Rey ordered the whole menu it seemed - rice, noodles, hot & spicy wontons, crabs two ways - creamy or with ginger and onion, sweet pork, seafood birds nest, soup, squid. It was so nice of them to take all of us out. We really enjoyed the food and the company. After dinner the Umlas came over for some majong. The "kids" went to bed to prepare for midnight madness shopping in Seattle. We thought we were ahead of the game by going this early but by the time we reached the outlets, there were barely any more parking spaces left! Line ups were everywhere - especially for Coach and Puma. The deals were great but we couldn't stay long because Norm had to be back for a conference in Vancouver the next morning. Let the Christmas madness begin! Happy Thanksgiving to our neighbours down south!
