Early Friday we loaded up the Toyota pretty much like the Beverly Hillbillies (well, we needed the French Press, tea pot, Bella's clothes and various stuff, snacks, wine and a whole bunch more) and we finally got on our way in time to stop for lunch at the Montecello Hotel in Longview. We stopped for the night in Lynnwood WA where we went to a family style Italian restaurant (my Lodi friends will remember the Cosmopolitan and Croces where we over indulged in some fabulous food for many years.) This didn't match the restaurants of my memories but it was still fun to see all the platters of really good food being served. (We saw meatballs the size of a man's fist).
Saturday we arrived in Vancouver where we made a stop at a popular kabob restaurant and then went to Iraj's cousin's place for the weekend. Iraj and Amhed have been close friends for all their lives so they had a great time reconnecting.
This morning we headed for the Ferry port to come over to Vancouver Island. We're staying at a downtown hotel that is close to everything but also a little off the edge of the really busy downtown area. Bella was welcomed with open arms and she's already the "princess" of the place. Tonight we walked to Bon Rouge for a fabulous dinner. A gorgeous place with a table in front of a fireplace and romantic music. It couldn't have been any better.
