Burying Our Heads in the Sand
Last year we took what we thought was our last BIG vacation as a childless couple. We thought we would be travelling this spring to bring our wee babe home. Hmmmmmm...we thought wrong.
We didn't plan a vacation for 2009 and then in the last couple of weeks things just came together.
This year we are going to take a couple of smaller holidays to break up the wait. We decided to head somewhere hot and bury our heads in the sand for awhile (it will help quiet the noise in my head) and are leaving this Friday.
Then at the end of April we are taking a very exciting trip to L.A. where we will get to meet these two fantastic people!
Bon Voyage!

I better make sure we put lots of sunscreen on our dairiares so as NOT to get sunburnt!
I plan on drinking a few of these
Yvan will undoubtedly drink some of these
all while enjoying this view!

Rest and Relaxation....
.....does a guy and gal some good!
We arrived home last night just in time to swoop into the house, turn on the t.v. and watch Barack Obama become the 44th President of the United States! Whoop!!!! Just had to celebrate that!
Right, so back to being rested and relaxed! We are well rested and very relaxed. It is always good to get away from the everyday but even better is coming home!!!
Vancouver and Madonna Concert
The very first thing I should note is that Vancouver is awash in the color purple. I mean, every thing and everyone was in or wearing purple. I love purple - I bought a purple dress to wear to the Madonna concert. I thought I would be so original!!
Ya right! Yvan and I laughed because purple was everywhere. Even Madonna played a purple guitar at the concert. For once in my life I was right on time with the trend!!! Ha ha ha ha!
60,000 people attended the concert at B.C. Place. I believe all 60, 0000 people arrived at exactly the same time as we did, tried to get in the same stadium door as us, bought Madonnna paraphernalia at once (we passed on this) and then all 60, 000 people took to their seats right when we decided to go to our seats. Yikes!!! I have never been to a concert this big - it was little overwhelming to say the least.
*Edit - I forgot to mention that about 30,000 of the 60,000 people there were dressed as Madonna from one stage or other of her career. It was hilarious - why, oh why, didn't I take photos of that!!!
My momma also came to the concert with us. We had floor seats and since my mom and I are not tall it was hard to see the stage sometimes. Especially with the large noggins' sitting all around us. Good thing for the large screens on each side of the stage and binoculars. What we needed was Shannon and Dan and their fabulous photo taking expertise there with us!
Madonna did not disappoint - she is one high energy lady! I must also tell you that she is F.I.T. Fit! At 50 she is smokin' hot and still got it! She played a lot of tunes off her new album like "4 minutes" and "Beat Goes On". She also played some oldies. My favourite was a rockin' version of "Borderline" and an excellent version of "La Isla Bonita" as well as "Music", "Like A Prayer". Oh my, there were so many great songs!!! We danced the whole time :)
Here's a little montage for ya
We also spent 3 nights up in Whistler....it rained the whole time we were there so we pretty much just slept and ate. Thus, no photos - ha ha ha! It was perfect!
Glad to be home!
