My birthday falls on Labor day this year and as a treat Classmates gave us Friday off in addition to Monday.
Friday
We both took off Friday and hit the road in the afternoon (we packed that morning and I think we went out on Thursday).
Stopped at the Premium Outlet mall on the way out. (Yay!! gotta love it when it's on my schedule)
Everything worked out wonderfully... after having a great dinner we called the down and made it just in time for a comedy show around the corner. Yuk Yuks.
We munched on edamame and popcorn and drank a bucket of beer and ... when in rome.... did their koolade shooters.
Saturday
We spent the morning shopping on Robson
Then we walked over to Gas Town and the Croasdales' came and met us.
We had a lovely time walking around town, they had an old car show along the streets.
We all piled in the car and went to Yaletown for a couple drinks and some apps.
After they left we walked around and went down to the waterfront.
This is just outside the convention center.
We had a salad at Carderos, and sat at the bar. Great experience but the food is just okay.

Cardero’s Big Salad mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, carrot, potato, sliced egg, edamame, olives, beets, French sherry vinaigrette dressing
I loved watching the kitchen!!
As much fun as we had sitting at the bar eating salad and apps, little mojo wasn't having too much fun on the deck. So we packed up and walked back to the hotel, got ready for dinner and took a cab to C.
