Our walk in Old PV

Checking the map for the restaurants in Old PV.













At a restaurant in PV I think it was called the Cafe de Angels, Awesome Mexican food!

Pipi's, they make the guacamole right in front of you, bring tip money!
Margaritas cost more than the meals!! Henry paid the Mariachis to play for us!
A very colorful place.
Hailing the oldest bus possible was a treat for my brother! Not so much for our backs!

What a Sweetheart!

When I was a kid in school, I was usually the one with the least cards in my Valentine's Pouch! I was a VERY shy child and that = few friends!
I must have mentioned this a time or two to my kids and this is the surprise I got last Valentines Day!!Posted by Picasa Notice that they are the Stawberry Shortcake cards!! She must be almost as old as I am!!

Grad Dress Shopping

Yesterday Vikk, Jo and I went to Winnipeg to look for a grad dress for Victoria. We had an awesome time and we only went to three stores.
She found a dress (the first one she tried on) but we purchased it at the third store! At the first store it was $529.00 at the second it was $499.00 and at the third it was $450.00! Amazing that it went down in price, plus in the end the manager gave us a great discount because we bought four dresses for Jo's wedding there!
She went with a specific color and style in mind. I think she got the style, but the color is so very different, it is the perfect dress for the perfect daughter!
I will post pics of some of the dresses she tried on, but you will have to wait till June to see the one she choose!
For the record, we purchased at Chantal's, and lunch was at the sandwich place right across the street.
