Van and Matt's Big Adventure
We've certainly stepped it up in terms of activities over the last few weeks! Since our last post, we've done the following around town:
- 3 NBA games with the Raptors facing off against the Wizards, Steven Adams and OKC, and the 76ers. We even made it onto the big screens at the OKC game, which was pretty cool!
- Book of Mormon with Mexican with James and Mengfei - Great show!
- Passenger concert - awesome concert, despite the awfully sad songs thrown in there
- Niagara Falls Vineyards and Chilly Half Marathon - Visited the Icebreaker outlet store on the way to the vineyards and breweries where we both invested in some gear for Denali - made some HUGE savings! We then visited a number of vineyards to add to our wine collection and Matt loved getting some new beers on his app paired with some oysters. We then stayed in Hamilton on Saturday night for our half marathon in Burlington the next day. Pretty happy with our effort in the half marathon given our lack of focused training. 1 hour and 43 minutes gets a pass from both of us and were really lucky with the weather this weekend.
- Crossfit Open - Van did awesome with this and managed to compete in all five events, which is impressive given our schedule!
- Banff film festival - went to the Friday session AND the Sunday session with Kevin, Diana and Jenn followed with delicious Korean
- Prince Edward County - had a wonderful weekend away sampling wine and beer. The vineyard we stayed at was really nice with a fireplace AND massive bath in our room. Added to our wine collection and have no idea how we are going to get through all of it now!
- Blue Mountain - little excursion out of the city with James and Mengfei. Was fun getting back on the slopes with the spring conditions, even if there were a few puddles by the end of the day!
- Denali Planning - heaps of work pulling together the schedule and gear list, now we just need to buy/borrow/rent the equipment! It's getting close :-s
- Touch rugby - season came to a close for Matt and the team ended up coming 3rd
This weekend we're helping Jenn out with some last minute baby shopping, some more Denali planning and then on Sunday we have a cheeky 15km race, pie and beer from the Pie Commission, some challenges at Snakes and Lattes and then a movie to cap things off. Can't wait! J
