Visitations!

Well, lucky lucky!
My momma's coming to spend time with lil' ol' me in the 'big city'.

I'm very excited.

I really enjoy spending time with my mom, and it's so much fun when she comes over to Vancouver from the small town she lives in.
Having her here kind of allows me to see Vancouver with fresh eyes.

This weekend is a loooong weekend; Monday the 7th is a holiday in British Columbia and there are PLENTY of things to do in Vancouver over the next 3 days.

The Gay Pride Parade takes place on Sunday, as well as the Japanese-Canadian festival ("Powell Street Festival").
White Rock is having a torchlight parade too!
Not to mention the regular wonderful stuff in Vancouver.
The Stanley Park sea-wall, Granville Island, Steveston Village and on and on.

The only problem with my mom coming over to visit will be what, of all the fun things to choose from, we should do!

Even if we don't partake in any of those options, and just sit around and chat it'll be a great visit.

We have fun together...she doesn't come over often enough!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend no matter what they do!

Hey Tai!

I hope you have a great long weekend with your mom! Sounds like you'll have a wonderful time no matter what you choose to do.

We have a "Civic Holiday" here in Ontario too...

Take care out there, Tai!

Say "Hi" to your mom!

Your Pal,

Zambo.

I love your relationship with your Mom - I live vicariously through your visits. My mom has been gone 2 years now and I miss her so. Give her extra hugs. :-)

Great to hear you have a great relationship with your mom.

Have a great weekend!

You have to be sure to take her to the Granville Island market. It's fabulous on a summer afternoon. And you can buy her something (or better yet, get her to buy you something) from one of the fabulous vendors.

Say hi to your mummy for me! I hope... no, strike that.... I know you two will have a great weekend!

Happy BC day! Celebrate by kissing a lumberjack!

Hi Tai! Have a great weekend with your Mom.

Really, what the hell kind of pirate is called Ted?

Wow I wish I had that kind of relationship with my mom. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I can only stand her for about 20 min at a time!
Really, consider yourself lucky to have such a great relationship with her

Have great time with your mom and enjoy the long weekend :)

Coming from someone who has one of the closest relationships with his parents, I am so appreciative of your words. How truly wonderful. I hope you'll print this entry, frame it and give it to her. I'm sure that would mean the world to her.

I hope you and your mom have fun.

I came home to see my family for the long weekend and I don't really want to leave the house while I'm here. It's just so good to back.

Happy long weekend.

Have fun with your Mum:)
I'm really mising all the fun stuff to do in Vancouver and can't wait to hear all your adventures this weekend!

Eric said...

Vancouver is such a beautiful city, I'd love to go there someday.

I echo Grant.

Hi Tai

I hope you and your mum have a fun "Civic Holiday" Weekend (somehow that name isn't real exciting, but I guess they can call it anything they want as long as it includes a day off of work...:)

"We have fun together.."
You are very lucky. Not many people can say that! I am lucky in that respect too.

Leigh said...
