birthday weekend in Vancouver

September 2, 2016

It was just a week ago on my birthday that hubs and I escaped to Vancouver for 3 nights. I love going to Vancouver so much.. it’s an easy one hour flight from Calgary.. we had no plans except having no plans, it was perfect!

We stayed at our FAVORITE Fairmont Pacific Rim. The impeccable service, being spoiled on my birthday, Lobby Lounge ( BEST people watching spot + even better cocktails! ) the rooms, the view, the location.. you can walk everywhere.. oh and running into Owen Wilson in the elevator ( gah! ) made this one incredible trip :)

Photo over load starts now ;)

Pretty views leaving Calgary and heading over the mountains.. it was so clear you could see the mountains the entire flight, it was incredible! In flight birthday caesars ;)

The best brunch at ORU, a walk to Nordstrom, died over this pretty blouse, a snack at The Rosewood Hotel Georgia / Reflections rooftop patio.. more walking :) Dinner with Alex and Melanie Auld at Fable.. amazing dinner and even better company, and not one picture?! Argh! Haha..

Sunday morning ritual of a charcoal mask, even better paired with room service and this view! Headed over to Granville Island to wander and have lunch at Sandbar.. love sitting outside, and the oysters were amazing!
