Mini-Vaca to Vancity

Yet again, Ardon had a DJ event wherein he was asked to make an appearance.  This time it was in Vancouver, so we were pretty stoked.  It was a good chance to make a little getaway from Seattle.  Two of his good friends PJ and Beau came with us, since they are into the DJ scene too, so we all road-tripped up north.  We stayed at the Days Inn in downtown, which was walking distance to pretty much everything, so were able to just get out and explore.

I hadn't been up to Vancouver in a long time, so it felt good to kind of re-appreciate the city.  In my opinion, it seemed like the American version of Europe.  It's a great place, for sure, and Ardon and I will definitely be making our way back up soon.

Hello, Canada!  Crossing the border wasn't so bad.  Border patrol asked, "What does one do at a DJ event?"

Crossing Granville Bridge on our way to downtown Vancity.

 Beau, Ardon, and PJ exploring downtown.  It was so clean, it felt like Universal Studios.

Still Galabunting.  We just kept going and going.  As we headed back to the hotel, we finally realized how far we had walked.  We covered lots of ground on foot, so we all had to power nap before heading out for the night.

PJ aka DJ Pjilla cuttin it up at Skratcher 3.  There was an open turntable session, the Canadian version of Skratch Lounge, so a few of the Skratch Lounge fam came up too.  There was also a DJ competition happening at the same venue that Ardon had to judge.  Lots going on, but lots of fun.

Late nightt eats.  The pizza was so good, but the ranch dressing they made at this place was BOMB.  If they sold it, I'd buy it, and I don't even like ranch.

On our way home, PJ was craving Poutine, so we stopped in White Rock to get some.   It was a quaint little coastal town and the Poutine at Moby Dick was sooooo good!

Almost back in the US.  Getting back over took longer than getting into Canada.  Go figure.  We stopped in Tulalip to outlet shop and eat at the casino, buffet style.  We were stuffed!
