Tofino was BEAUTIFUL last weekend! No rain at all, not even a tiny bit on Saturday as forecasted and it was just stunning on Sunday and Monday. Anyway, here are some random pictures (I find that when we go on trip with guys, we take a LOT less pictures because my girlfriends and I are egotistic bitches). Sorry my pictures aren’t more entertaining, but I want to upload the rest at Captured later.

We arrived at Tsawwassen at 12:30 hoping to make the 12:45 ferry but we obviously missed it so we played Shithead and ate at the salad bar until 3:15. At Nanaimo, we ended up getting lost going to Tofino because we underestimated and totally ignored Tomtom (GPS), so we ended up arriving at 9:30pm. Funny thing is when we go with the girls, we’ve never gotten lost before thanks to Google Maps. Damn you Tomtom.

They had no shot glasses (!!!), so we had to use these tiny sauce containers to shoot Gray Goose.

N forced us all to have a candle-lit dinner of pasta and lemongrass chicken. LOL. The guys were soo annoyed because they couldn’t see their food but couldn’t do anything about it.

Then we drank and made smores in the backyard.

The next day we chilled out and tried to dig for stuff like geoduck (we bought a shovel for it afterwards but decided not to after we found out about red tide and didn’t wanna die trying = waste of $15).

And then we tried to fish (or pretended to).

And then we went kayaking. The last half hour was horrendous and pure misery for N and I; we were complaining and dying the entire way because it was cold, wet, windy and we were fighting the current while everyone else took it like it was nothing (and we were on a double!!). But nevertheless, the overall 3 hours was still fun.

And then we went home and had a nice meaty dinner. Sorry it’s a little ironic since N is making vegetables in this photo.

And of course, vacation foods (watermelon and wine!!!). We all ended up passing out early (with no alcohol whatsoever except for wine) because we were all pooped from kayaking.

N and I went tanning at Long Beach the next day (featuring a yummy smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich in the bottom-right corner).

Then we headed back to Chesterman Beach to look for the guys who were surfing but instead, we found this guy who was surf-paddling?!

Then we went home for another hearty meal with lots of chicken noodle soup, steak, pork hash, mash potatoes, grilled zucchini and most importantly, mac and cheese.

Did I also mention that we got bitched by a crazy, “ignant” (her way of saying “ignorant”) white lady because we turned into the wrong house and she claimed that we crushed her [illegal] pipes? The sad thing is that our house was 3 doors down hers so we were scheming on what to do to her house when we leave. Except we got lazy and ended up doing nothing. I was just kidding anyway. :S

Oh, and the 10×568560569 heart attacks we had while trying to get on the 3:15 ferry on the way home today. We were one of the last cars on and we were getting ready to be soooo angry if we didn’t make it on. We seriously gotta work on our timing.

The BEST part of the trip was that N and I got to be LAZY for once and not worry about what needs to done or what isn’t being done!!!!! Usually, it’s us (and a couple other girls) who are ALWAYS doing the house work while other people are always slacking off and never doing their share. :@ The pathetic part is that they are OBLIVIOUS to the fact that they are doing NOTHING compared to the work we put in so it’s really fucking annoying (and if we don’t do it, it doesn’t happen; we even tested them once but got so pissed off we ended up doing it ourselves). The last day is always the biggest pain in the ass because they only pack up their own stuff and barely help with cleaning the house. This was an awesome change. I guess if this happens in future and upcoming trips, some serious bitch slapping needs to happen so they finally realize how “ignant” they’re being. HAH. I honestly think we are just way too nice to let them get away with it for the last couple years.

Anyway, I don’t go back to work until Friday (and then a stat next Tuesday!). Now I get to catch up on sleep, my freelance projects and playing with my puppy (and maybe a little shopping here and there). I think I need to lie in bed, eat watermelon and watch TV for the rest of the night (after I finish reading blogs). Ta.
