The Phallic Road Trip

Packing up, getting ready to grab lunch somewhere here in Vancouver before leaving for Seattle.

We finished our drive through British Columbia yesterday afternoon, getting into our hotel near Robson Square in the north side of the city at around 4. After dropping our stuff off, we headed downstairs, into a pretty large Irish pub called Doolin’s to watch the Celtics 24-point comeback against the Lakers.

Today, we’re going to walk around a little, but we don’t want to leave here much later than 2, to beat the outbound traffic. Not sure how long it’ll take to get to Seattle, but hopefully the border isn’t too crowded.

It’s too bad we don’t have a little longer in Vancouver to really see the city, but the forecast does look nice for Seattle, so hopefully we’ll get to see a lot. Rain or shine, we’ll see baseball tomorrow night, since the ballpark in Seattle has a retractable roof — though we’d definitely like to see the game with an open roof.

Have a couple of friends in Seattle that have offered to show us around, including Andrea who has graciously offered us her couches to crash on.

Been a pretty good week in Canada, but it’s time to head back into the US to get back into the baseball swing. Have three games to look forward to in the next week, including two in the California Bay Area.

Hopefully the bad weather is behind us for good!
