Fake Time

Day one of Mom and Dad's trip to the West Coast! Picked them up at the airport in Seattle after a rushed morning at the farm. After a quick hello we were off to Vancouver. On the drive into Canada, figuring out the time was difficult. Apparently I was living in "fake time." Haha guess they know how I feel trying to continuously trying to count 3 hours ahead, seeing what time it is back home. The drive into Canada was fairly uneventful until border patrol. We got through fine, even though Dad had to make a joke when asked about weapons in the car. Great...

Made it into Vancouver. Mom got a little nervous when we were only a few minutes from the hotel and were in Little Saigon. But the area got nicer and the hotel was just fine. We went to the Gaslight district for dinner and had a great southern comfort food dinner at Peckinpah. Funny having southern food in Canada. I was curious what they considered "Southern" since we were on the west coast and had all of the US south of us. Apparently they meant North Carolina and it was good. The place had all of ten tables and was crowded but we were able to get seats at the bar and relax after the long drive. Mom and Dad had been up since 4am eastern time, so they were exhausted and the goats had me running all morning so we all needed a break.
